Knee replacement surgery—whether partial or total—is a major procedure, often recommended when chronic knee pain or joint degeneration (like osteoarthritis) severely impacts daily life. While surgery replaces the damaged parts of the knee with artificial components, rehabilitation through physiotherapy is essential for full recovery. At Pitt Meadows Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer specialized, patient-centered rehabilitation programs designed to restore function, reduce pain, and get you back to the life you love.

🌟 Why Is Physiotherapy Crucial After Knee Replacement?

Post-operative physiotherapy is more than just exercise—it’s a structured and progressive program tailored to your healing phase. It plays a vital role in:

Reducing pain and swelling
Restoring range of motion
Regaining strength in surrounding muscles
Improving balance and coordination
Preventing complications like blood clots or joint stiffness
Helping you return to walking, driving, and daily activities

Without physiotherapy, recovery can be slower and less effective, potentially leading to reduced function or prolonged discomfort.

🏥 How Pitt Meadows Physiotherapy Helps

At Pitt Meadows Physiotherapy, we pride ourselves on offering evidence-based, customized care for patients recovering from knee replacement surgery. Our experienced physiotherapists guide you through every stage of recovery with compassion, skill, and attention to detail.

✅ 1. Pre-Surgical Physiotherapy (Prehab)

Before surgery, we often recommend "prehab" to strengthen the muscles around your knee, improve joint flexibility, and prepare your body for the procedure. Patients who complete prehab generally experience faster and more effective post-op recovery.

✅ 2. Early Post-Surgery Care (0–6 weeks)

After surgery, we focus on gentle, progressive movement:

Pain and swelling control
Guided mobility exercises
Range of motion improvement
Safe walking techniques with assistive devices (walker or cane)

Our physiotherapists closely monitor your progress to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.

✅ 3. Intermediate Rehab (6–12 weeks)

Once the knee starts healing, our goals shift to:

Increasing strength and endurance
Improving balance and gait
Restoring confidence in daily movements
Graduated return to walking and stair-climbing

You’ll receive personalized exercise plans that adapt to your healing progress and lifestyle goals.

✅ 4. Advanced Rehab (3+ months)

This phase prepares you to return to more demanding tasks or recreational activities. Our approach includes:

Sport-specific or activity-specific training (for golfers, hikers, etc.)
Advanced strengthening and proprioception training
Return-to-work conditioning programs

We tailor this phase to help you resume your favorite activities safely and comfortably.
