The class prepares patients and their families for the “pathway to recovery” after total joint replacement surgery. The class includes:

• Ways to prepare the home for safety and comfort after discharge
• A checklist of what is needed before surgery
• Methods of pain management
• Activities
• Diet
• Pre-op and post-op exercises
• Outpatient physical therapy locations
