Should I use Ice or Heat after a total knee replacement?

The most common question I hear as a physical therapist is "Should I use heat or ice after an injury or surgery?" The truth is... It really doesn't matter! Use what helps you feel better and move more. Heat and/or cold are simply ways to confuse your nervous system and change what information your brain is focusing on. Much of the old information has been proven false. If you would like more on this topic check out Dean Volk's video https://youtu.be/j7WAJgTDIEo to see how ice or heat may work when you are experiencing sciatica pain.
