Book an AssessmentRehabilitation after knee replacement follows the surgeon’s instructions and the patient’s medical status. Early priorities often include safe mobility, swelling management, knee movement and activation of key muscles.
How physiotherapy may help
A home physiotherapist may practise transfers, walking-aid use, exercises and stairs where appropriate. Progress is individualized; forcing movement aggressively is not a marker of better care.
Common rehabilitation goals
- Use the prescribed walking aid safely
- Improve knee extension and flexion progressively
- Restore thigh strength and functional independence
- Prepare for stairs and community mobility
What happens at a home appointment?
The physiotherapist reviews relevant history, reports and precautions, then assesses movement and function as appropriate. The plan may include education, guided exercise, mobility practice and suitable hands-on care. Progress is reviewed rather than assumed.
