Following the multiple ACL and other arthroscopic operations I have had since 1992, each time I underwent rehabilitation using standard (fitness-style) and isokinetic machines. In the hands of the masseurs and physios, my convalescence went well, and I was very satisfied with the end result.

30 years later, Dr. Echeverri agreed to operate on me for a total knee replacement despite my young age. It had been about 5 years since I’d been able to do anything without intense pain.
Before the operation, Dr. Echeverri asked me to do 2×9 sessions of “therapeutic strengthening” using controlled equipment. I complied. I can assure you that he was right about everything. In addition to doing intensive strength training, I was able to do it virtually pain-free.
On the evening of my operation, I was standing with walking sticks, and the next day I started to move around without them.

4 days after my operation and one day after my discharge from hospital, I began my rehabilitation sessions with Dr.E., 3 times a week, plus the exercises I did at home.
3 weeks after the operation, I bend my knee to 120 degrees, I have 95% active extension and 99% passive extension, I go up and down stairs without any problems. I’m starting to do squats and skipping. I was able to continue after two weeks.
Without this pre- and post-operative mechanical therapy, I wouldn’t be at this level today.

The Dr.E. Orthopedic Clinic is without doubt the ideal place for rehabilitation or recovery of any joint. Equipped with ultra-modern equipment, the clinic enables everyone to start training and improving, whatever their starting level. The on-site team is exceptional: competent, welcoming and always ready to listen. What’s more, the staff speak several languages, making the experience even more accessible and enjoyable for all patients. This is truly the place to be for a confident recovery!

Unfortunately, I tore my cruciate ligament during a soccer match. Thanks to these new machines, I’ve seen very rapid progress. The frame is also a real asset, modern and futuristic.

The muscle-strengthening sessions helped me regain stability and strength and feel safe enough to ski again.

Hello,

Ultra-competent staff, always available but also very attentive to patient rehabilitation. Top-notch machines and programs adapted to each patient, in short a TOP establishment, I recommend it to you !!!!
