Understanding Total Knee Replacement
Recovery after knee replacement surgery requires structured rehabilitation to regain strength, mobility, and confidence in daily activities. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, we conduct a comprehensive post-operative assessment to understand joint range, muscle strength, and functional limitations. Treatment includes hands-on therapy, guided strengthening and flexibility exercises, gait training, and activity-specific retraining to restore independence safely.
Our Specialized Approach
- Post-Surgical AssessmentReview surgical details, weight-bearing status, and functional baseline to establish a safe and progressive rehabilitation plan.
- Pain & Swelling ManagementApply ice, compression, and elevation to control post-operative knee swelling and manage pain during early recovery.
- Early Mobility & Knee FlexionIntroduce gentle range of motion exercises and continuous passive motion to restore knee bending and prevent post-surgical stiffness.
- Quadriceps & Leg StrengtheningProgressively strengthen quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles to support the new joint and improve functional stability.
- Gait Retraining & Stair RehabilitationRestore normal walking patterns, correct compensatory movements, and progress to stair climbing and incline walking.
- Return to Daily FunctionEnable safe return to driving, household tasks, and recreational activities through progressive functional rehabilitation.
