Arthrofibrosis Recovery Guide

I am Heidi Armstrong, Injury Recovery Coach and founder of Injured Athlete’s Toolbox. I help athletes--many of whom have arthrofibrosis--develop practical, evidence-based skills to navigate the physical, mental, emotional, and social challenges of injury so they can move forward with greater resilience, hope, and motivation.

I’ve struggled, coped, and worked diligently to overcome arthrofibrosis since November 2010. I’ve learned, sometimes through trial and much error, a lot along the way. My clients’ victories, questions, anxieties, and resilience led me to record what I’ve learned about arthrofibrosis recovery in plain English.

My hope is that this booklet--fact-checked by arthrofibrosis expert Dr. Steven Singleton--will leave you feeling empowered and informed. You aren’t alone. I’ve been where you are right now and have helped others in your position. It gets better. Follow the guidance on how to recover from arthrofibrosis in this booklet.

This e-booklet is *not* a do-it-yourself recovery guide featuring--or comparing--physical therapy exercises. That would be impossible and irresponsible (I am not a physical therapist and every arthrofibrosis recovery is different).

In this e-booklet, you will learn:
⭐️ Essential recovery guiding principles that you won't find anywhere else
⭐️ The most important thing Dr. Steadman told me to remember about arthrofibrosis
⭐️ How to choose a medical team
⭐️ How to handle inevitable post-surgery setbacks
⭐️ The tools you must use in order to get better
⭐️ How to manage surgery and travel logistics
⭐️ How to maintain your sanity
⭐️ This e-booklet has been fact checked by Dr. Steven Singleton

**NOTE**

Post-TKA (knee replacement) arthrofibrosis is different than the type of arthrofibrosis I've discussed in this guide. The surgical approach is different. The appearance and texture of the scar is different; thus, the scar physiology is different. Accordingly, the recovery is different. I've written this guide for non-TKA arthrofibrosis; nonetheless, many of the concepts still apply for post-TKA arthrofibrosis.
