My guests today are Dr. Kelly Starrett and Laird Hamilton. Each of us have had one of our joints replaced and we thought it would be fun and hopefully helpful to share our experiences. When did each of us realize after exhausting every route that the joint replacement surgery was the best idea?
We discuss how to physically and mentally prepare for surgery, and share what physical therapy modalities were helpful for us.
Like Kelly said "the surgery is the beginning of the journey" and what we do after is key. This conversation can be a tool for most athletic surgeries. Believe me, between us we have had lots of time and experience around "healing" and "getting better".
Enjoy!
Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
- Surgery is a step, not the end goal
- Speak with the best people you have access to, understand the different methods and procedures, and make the most informed decision you can for yourself – no one knows your body and what you are feeling better than you
- The decision to get surgery should be beyond pain – maybe you experience: loss of force, loss of mobility and range of motion, inability to do the things you used to, limitations in complementary joints and muscles
- The work you put in before surgery pays off in recovery
- Post-surgery pain is real but you have to embrace it and push through to recover
- Ask yourself: “What does success look like for you?” – Dr. Kelly Starrett – then work backwards to understand what needs to get done
- Set a plan and take agency over what you can control: dial in nutrition and hydration, move, ice, connect with a support system
- Surgery and recovery are mentally taxing: understand everyone’s role (surgeon, physical therapist, your role), quell anxiety by setting a plan, stay connected to any fitness and exercise community you had before, find a rehabilitation specialist to guide you through the process
