AAOS – Rehabilitation Exercises

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) recommends that people, after experiencing  injury or surgery, should proactively partake in the appropriate exercise conditioning programs to help quickly return to their customary daily  activities and enjoy a more active and healthier lifestyle.

The following Rehabilitation Exercise Handouts are available at the AAOS web site

Spine Rehabilitation Exercises

After a spine injury or surgery, an exercise conditioning program will help patients strengthen their muscles that support the spine. Keeping these muscles strong can relive back pain and prevent further injury.

Hip Rehabilitation Exercises

The hip rehabilitation exercise program focuses on strengthening the muscles that support patients’ hip to help keep the hip joint stable. Keeping these muscles strong can relieve pain and prevent further injury.

Knee Rehabilitation Exercises
