"I recently had my second knee replaced and I did not want to return to the physical therapy team connected to the clinic of my surgeon. It felt like an assembly line where many patients met many therapists in a huge gym. Each therapist would take their patient and rotate them through a variety of machines. There was little interaction between the patients and the therapists. Happily, I made the decision to go to “Embody Health and Performance” at The Marsh for physical therapy. I immediately felt welcomed by the receptionist and was introduced to Dr. Cardinal. He took me to a room where he visited with me and made me comfortable.I had many questions and he took the time to answer every one of them. As he was stretching my leg and rubbing my knee, he explained what he was doing and how it would help in my recovery. Each of my visits lasted one hour yet it went by so quickly. He taught me how to incorporate all of the exercises so that I could do them at home…No machines necessary! I highly recommend “Embody” at The Marsh if you want first class personal care."

"My Knee Replacement Journey – Why Choosing the Right Surgeon and Physical Therapist Matters I recently had a total knee replacement, and I want to share how important it is to choose the right team — starting with your Orthopedic Surgeon and continuing with an experienced Doctor of Physical Therapy. Why is this important? The surgery itself is only part of the journey. A skilled surgeon makes all the difference in the quality of your outcome, your comfort during recovery, and how quickly you regain confidence in your new knee. Take time to research their experience, talk with former patients, and ask detailed questions about surgical techniques and recovery expectations. Equally if not more important is selecting a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) who understands joint replacement rehabilitation at a deep level. The right PT not only helps restore strength and mobility, but also monitors your progress, manages swelling and pain, and prevents complications. Dr. Warden and his team at Embody Health & Performance also offer the professional combination of expert guidance and motivation, making recovery faster, and all offered within the most welcoming and empathetic family clinic environment. Amazing. Thank you Christopher. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone considering knee replacement, it would be this: your results depend as much on the skill of your surgeon and physical therapist as they do on your own dedication to recovery. Choose carefully — it’s worth every bit of effort."
