Exercise Program for Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
The hip & knee rehabilitation program offered at Physiomobility is focused on exercise, education and return to normal activities. The exercises shown here are to help our clients with their in-home exercise program during recovery. The exercises in our in-clinic sessions are monitored by a physiotherapist and kinesiologist team and are modified based on our clients’ progress and ability.
We offer similar pre-surgery rehabilitation program (Prehab) to patients who are preparing for knee or hip replacement operation. Clinical studies show that patients who have participated in a prehab program and are prepared for knee or hip replacement operation recover faster and return to their activities with less pain & more strength.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This library of exercises includes mobility, stretching, strengthening and functional movements which are the most beneficial after a knee replacement surgery or to prepare our clients for their upcoming surgery. A comprehensive treatment plan after knee replacement operation includes manual therapy, pain management, education and progressive exercises. The exercises shown in these videos are only a fraction of a comprehensive knee exercise program and are meant as a reference for our patients to complement their in-clinic sessions.
You may get different instructions from your surgeon, doctor, or physiotherapist. Always follow your doctor or therapist’s instructions . If you experience unusual discomfort, stop the exercise and contact your therapist.
