I went looking for help for my knee replacement the way most people do — I searched online. Almost everything I found was one of two things: a worst-case-scenario risk assessment and downright scary stories 😳, or a shopping list of gadgets my doctor never once mentioned.
My doctor, to his credit, gave me three sheets of paper. What to expect, step-by-step. What he didn't give me was anything on preparing my mind, my body, or my spirit for what was coming.
How to Prepare for Knee Replacement Surgery Beyond the Shopping List
I didn't know a thing about strength training going into knee number one. The only thing I really understood was that I was the cook in my house — I was the one who did the grocery shopping — and that was about to fall apart for a while. Beyond that? I had no idea what was actually coming.
It showed up in the small stuff. I needed a chair in my bathroom and had no idea. Standing to brush my teeth turned into its own project. There were a dozen little logistics nobody puts on a checklist because they don't sound important — until you're the one standing there on day three wishing you'd thought of it sooner.
Why I Built Rooted Recovery
That gap is exactly why I built Rooted Recovery. It's not another list of things to buy. It's the piece that was missing from my three sheets of paper — the mental, physical, and practical prep that actually gets you ready for what recovery is like, not just what surgery is like.
Every time someone finishes it, I hear some version of the same thing: they had no idea how unprepared they were until they went through it, and they walk into surgery feeling more ready and more in control of what's ahead.
Who Rooted Recovery Is For
This is for two kinds of people. It's for the one who's used to being in charge — independent, capable, the one everyone else relies on (that’s me) — who just needs the map before they hand over the reins for a while. And it's for the one who has no idea where to even start. Both of you belong here.
Available Anytime, Because Recovery Doesn't Wait
I made this evergreen on purpose. Knee replacements happen every single day, not just around a live event date, so I wanted this available the moment you decide you're ready — not weeks from now when the next class rolls around.
If your surgery is on the calendar, or you're just starting to think about it, grab the Rooted Recovery now and give yourself the head start I didn't have.
Not ready for Rooted Recovery? That’s okay. Grab my free e-book where I break down the things I wish someone had handed me before my first knee replacement surgery.
