Knee Replacement Recovery: Cold and Heat Therapy for Faster Healing with HurtSkurt®

Recover faster after knee replacement surgery with targeted cold therapy and heat therapy. Learn how HurtSkurt® helps reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness for total knee replacement recovery.

If you’ve had a knee replacement or are preparing for one, proper recovery is key. The most common search terms after surgery are “knee replacement recovery,” “knee swelling after surgery,” “cold therapy after knee replacement,” and “best ice pack for knee pain.”

That’s exactly where HurtSkurt® comes in — a flexible, stylish hot/cold therapy sleeve designed to deliver comfort, compression, and convenience through every stage of healing.

• Week 1–2: Swelling, stiffness, and limited motion. Begin physical therapy early. Use cold therapy to control inflammation.

• Weeks 3–6: Walking improves. Add heat therapy before exercise to loosen muscles and cold therapy afterward to limit swelling.

• Weeks 7–12: Continue strengthening, light cycling, and mobility work. Use HurtSkurt® for ongoing pain relief and recovery.

• Months 3–12: Most return to normal activities with regular at-home recovery maintenance.

Cold therapy is crucial in the first 2–3 weeks after knee replacement. It reduces pain, inflammation, and fluid buildup in the joint.

• Use HurtSkurt® cold sleeves several times a day for 20–30 minutes.

• Elevate your leg to improve circulation and minimize swelling.

• Keywords: cold therapy for knee replacement, ice pack for swelling, reduce knee inflammation.

Once swelling decreases, heat therapy helps restore flexibility and muscle recovery.

• Soft stretch fabric: comfortable against skin for long sessions.

• Stylish recovery: fun prints and lightweight feel bring the “good JUJU” back to healing.
