  1. Whether in a career or for physical fitness, one needs to work hard and feel pain to get better. Because if there is no pain and discomfort, there can be no gain. Therefore, even if physical therapy hurts, recovering from a total knee replacement surgery is still crucial. It enables you to gradually regain knee strength and mobility to get back to regular routines. Your knee's worn-out, diseased, and damaged portions will be removed during surgery and replaced with prosthetic implants. However, the success of a knee replacement depends in large part on recovery and rehabilitation. Exercises used in the physiotherapy centre Brampton assist patients in regaining their ability to move and function normally. Depending on each individual's unique needs and general health, these workouts may differ from one another. Let's get deeper into physical therapy after total knee replacement to know how it helps.

  2. 1. Initial 2-3 Days After Surgery Following your TKR Surgery, When you awake, your knee may be placed in a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine. This tool aids in slowly and gently bending and straightening your knee. Changes made to the CPM increase or decrease the range of motion in your knee joint. To make sure the CPM machine is configured correctly, you can work with your healthcare provider and physiotherapist. A Brampton Physiotherapist may visit you in the hospital on the very first day after your surgery. This individual is also known as an acute care physical therapist. During that visit, your acute care PT may assist you in sitting up in bed, getting out of bed, and starting to walk. After surgery, you need to use a regular walker or wheeled walker more often. This device will provide you with additional support while walking. Additionally, while you are in the hospital, your acute care PT will have you perform knee exercises. These workouts increase the range of motion and strength of your knees. They also support the motion of your hips and ankles. This will make walking quite easier.

  3. 2. Moving Forward to Weeks 1-2 After Surgery Sub-Acute Rehabilitation If you still need extra care and rehab, this facility provides it before you go home. For one to two weeks, you'll focus on boosting your knee's range of motion (ROM) and strength with two daily physical therapy sessions. At Home: Physical Therapy and Healing If you go home, your healing and strengthening continue in one of two ways: In-Home Physiotherapy If traveling is tough for you, a physiotherapist may visit you at home to ensure safe movement around your house. This includes working on your knee ROM and strength, as well as walking and stair climbing. Outpatient Physiotherapy If you can get to a Knee Replacement Clinic Brampton, your sessions will continue there. This will further improve your knee's mobility. Plus, helps the patient achieve a 90-degree bend by week's end.

  4. 3. Weeks 3-6 After Surgery: Stepping Up the Therapy By week three, you should be engaging in outpatient physical therapy, ramping up your rehabilitation. Focus on Movement Expect more robust exercises to enhance the range of motion (ROM) in your knee. Aiming for 100 to 105 degrees of knee motion by week six is the goal. Adding Cycling to Your Regime Stationary Bike Usage Cycling can be beneficial. Initially, full pedaling might be tricky, but partial forward and backward motions gradually improve your ROM until full pedaling becomes possible.

  5. 4. Weeks 7-8 After Surgery: Strengthening and Moving Freely In these last two weeks of rehab, working with your Physiotherapist is all about ramping up your functional mobility. At this stage, your PT’s goal is to focus on strengthening the muscles around your knee and leg through targeted exercises. To achieve that goal, your physiotherapist will make you do advanced balance exercises. In that, he/she will make you try a BAPS Board. It is an exercise tool designed to boost your balance. Additionally, it improves proprioception (that's your awareness of your body’s position in space). Walking Unaided It's time to try walking without any assistive devices! And, your pain levels should be manageable or reduced. Preparing for Post-Rehab Life Look Ahead Ask your PT for tips on maintaining your exercise routine going forward. Keep Active Consider joining a fitness center. Using stationary bikes and weight training gear will help you preserve and even build upon the mobility and strength gains from your Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery.

  6. Wrapping Up However, keep in mind that every person is unique. Your recovery from TKR surgery depends on a variety of factors. A week-by-week plan provides a rough outline of what to anticipate following surgery. Your own development could, however, be faster or slower.
