What to Expect When You Visit Our Physiotherapist for Knee Surgery

When you visit us after knee surgery, we assess your knee movement, swelling, strength, and walking ability. Treatment includes manual therapy to reduce stiffness, range-of-motion exercises, progressive strengthening especially quadriceps, and functional training such as walking, stairs, and return to sport or activity.

Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

↑

Early Range-of-Motion Work

• Restoring bend and straightening early reduces stiffness risk. • Swelling control helps the quadriceps activate better.

Gradual Return to Activity

• Walking, stairs and strength work should progress in stages. • Consistency supports stronger long-term knee function.

↓

Persistent Swelling

• Ongoing swelling can inhibit muscle activation. • It often makes the knee feel weak and slow to trust.

Delayed Movement or Inconsistent Rehab

• Waiting too long to move may increase stiffness. • Fear avoidance and irregular exercises can delay function.

What does the Evidence say?
Structured physiotherapy is essential after knee surgery to restore motion, strength, and functional performance. References Artz, N., Elvers, K. T., Lowe, C. M., et al. (2015). Effectiveness of physiotherapy exercise following knee arthroplasty. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 16, 15.
