Interesting new research has found that physiotherapy before joint replacement surgery could improve outcomes. A spokeswoman for Arthritis Research UK commented: The number of people undergoing joint replacement is rising as is the success rate; however, to achieve the best post-operative outcome patients need to be as fit as possible. If having physiotherapy before their operation can help with that, it should be strongly considered, although it might not always be feasible because of costs and waiting lists for physiotherapy in the UK. Its very frustrating that NHS resources mean that despite research findings, optimal care & potential outcomes have to be compromised.
