The Importance of Physical Therapy in Joint 
Replacement Recovery
Recovering from a total knee replacement is not easy. It's usually a tedious and arduous
process with little to show at the outset. Rehabilitating from a TKR requires a
multidisciplinary approach, and physiotherapy is integral to it. Physiotherapy may be
essential for a full recovery after TKR.
The process of physiotherapy: what does it entail?
When a patient has had joint replacement surgery, they may participate in physiotherapy to
help them regain their range of motion. Physiotherapy exercises are started on the first
postoperative day, and the intensity is gradually raised until the patient fully recovers. It
typically entails self-exercising at home regularly and visiting a physiotherapist once a day or
once a week. You can see a Physiotherapist in a Physiotherapy Centre or have an at-home
Physiotherapist come to your home regularly to carry out exercises and therapy. Without a
specialist's supervision, you risk hurting your prosthetic joint if you don't execute the
activities prescribed by your healthcare team.
What are the advantages of 
Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is often
recommended to improve
the success rate of Joint
Replacement Surgery.
Increases blood flow
Long periods of inactivity
after Joint Replacement
Surgery have been linked to
an increased risk of blood
clots forming in the area of
the prosthetic. Maintaining
regular exercise for the joint
can improve blood flow and
lessen the risk of further
injury.
Restores movement
Over time, you can restore full function to the affected joint by progressively increasing its
range of motion.
Reduces inflammation and discomfort
Pain and edema are common side effects after Joint Replacement surgery. Physical therapy
can reduce swelling and pain by increasing blood flow and promoting healing.
Boost your joint strength.
Physical therapy after implant surgery might help you get back to normal activities as soon
as possible.
Rapider Revival
Keeping the joint moving after surgery helps it heal more quickly, so you can return to your
routine and activities more quickly.
To conclude
Physiotherapists have seen it
all when it comes to helping
patients recover from a total
knee replacement. Your
therapist will be able to tell
you when it's time to "fly the
nest" and end your
physiotherapy sessions, as
well as how hard to push you.
Don't start down the road to
recovery following a total knee
replacement (TKR) without a
reliable physiotherapist.
