The Joints in Motion program at Northeast Georgia Medical Center uses a unique approach to rehabilitation after a hip or knee replacement. Based on the goal of patients moving and exercising as soon as possible after surgery, Joints in Motion uses team spirit and group support to help patients recover quickly.

• A "coach" for each patient � a family member or friend selected by the patient to support him during the program and at home.
• Education and training for the patient and coach and evaluation of the home or discharge environment.
• A daily newsletter delivered each morning to patients which highlights the events of the day and offers advice and tips about the recovery process.
• Get-togethers after discharge with other Joints in Motion graduates.

• A dedicated inpatient rehabilitation unit
• Transitional care units on both campuses
• Outpatient rehabilitation which includes aquatic therapy in our rehabilitation pool

• A transitional gym and pool exercise program through Fit for Life Wellness Services
• Membership in public pool classes specially designed for clients who have had a joint replacement.
