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.

How Does the Treatment Work?
Reduces stiffness and supports range-of-motion recovery.
Progressive quadriceps and functional strengthening restores control.
Sustained Relief (%)
3 / 6 / 12 monthsFactors Influencing Recovery Speed
↑ What speeds up recovery
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.
↓ What slows down recovery
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.
How do we estimate outcomes?
We combine insights from published research, clinical guidelines, practitioner experience, and typical rehabilitation timelines to map out common recovery trajectories. The ranges presented are general estimates only and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results.
