Post Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Physiotherapy

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery is performed to relieve pain and restore function in severely damaged knee joints, often due to arthritis or injury. After surgery, physiotherapy is an essential part of the recovery process. It helps patients regain mobility, improve knee strength, restore flexibility, and return to normal daily activities safely and effectively. A structured rehabilitation program ensures faster healing, reduced stiffness, and long-term success of the knee replacement.

  • Why is physiotherapy important after TKR surgery?

    Physiotherapy is vital after TKR as it reduces pain and swelling, restores movement, strengthens knee muscles, and helps patients walk independently again.

  • How soon should therapy begin after surgery?

    Rehabilitation usually begins within 24–48 hours after surgery under supervision. Early movement helps prevent stiffness and speeds up recovery.

  • How long does recovery take with physiotherapy?

    Most patients regain significant mobility within 6–12 weeks of regular physiotherapy, with continued improvement up to a year after surgery.
