Having a knee replacement is a major surgery that can have a significant impact on your mobility and overall quality of life. While the surgery can reduce pain and enhance joint function, it can also have a variety of post-operative complications, including weakness, a reduced range of motion, and a higher risk of falling. It is important to see a physical therapist both before and after a knee replacement for this reason.

Your strength, range of motion, and overall function can all be improved with pre-operative physical therapy, which can help you get ready for the procedure. By doing so, you may have a quicker return to your regular activities and a smoother, more successful recovery process. Additionally, they can work with you to create a post-operative rehabilitation plan that will help you recover faster.

A physiotherapist will work with you after surgery to gradually regain strength, mobility, and flexibility using a variety of exercises and treatments. Also, they might offer manual treatment to lessen discomfort and swelling as well as instruction on how to use crutches, a walker, or a cane correctly. And can support you as you gradually return to your regular activities after making the safe transition from using assistive devices to walking without them.
