The importance of rehabilitation
The success of a knee replacement depends heavily on the rehabilitation that follows. Consistent physiotherapy helps restore the movement and strength needed to walk, climb stairs and return to daily life — and reduces the risk of a stiff, poorly functioning joint.
What rehabilitation involves
Your physiotherapist guides you through a graded program tailored to your recovery.
- Exercises to restore knee bending and straightening
- Progressive strengthening of the leg muscles
- Swelling and pain management strategies
- Walking and stair practice
- Balance and confidence work
- A gradual return to daily activities
Recovering at home
Home visit physiotherapy is ideal after a knee replacement, when travel is uncomfortable and consistency matters. Your physiotherapist brings the rehabilitation to you, keeping you on track and progressing safely toward full function.
