What is Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation After Knee Replacement?

Physical therapy and rehabilitation after knee replacement is the treatment process applied to patients who have undergone surgery to strengthen the muscles around the knee joint, increase mobility and enable them to return to their daily lives painlessly. This process aims to strengthen the muscles around the prosthesis, regain the range of motion of the knee joint and restore the support function of the knee.

What Should Be Considered in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation After Knee Replacement?

The most important factors to be considered in the physical therapy and rehabilitation process after knee replacement are regular exercise, pain management, not overloading the knee joint and applying correct walking techniques. Exercises should be determined according to the needs of the individual and should be performed under the control of specialized physiotherapists. Especially in the first weeks, cold applications should be used to control swelling and pain in the knee, and sudden turning movements and squatting should be avoided. Learning the correct walking techniques and using supportive tools such as walkers or crutches accelerate the healing process. The patient’s morale and motivation is also very important in this process; therefore, at Meva, our team of experts provides both physical and emotional support to our guests, ensuring a healthy and safe rehabilitation.
