Knee exercises

Knee replacement rehabilitation (rehab) is a series of exercises you do after your surgery. This helps you get back your knee's range of motion and strength. You will work with your doctor and physical therapist to plan this exercise program. To get the best results, you need to do the exercises correctly and as often and as long as your doctor or physical therapist tells you.

Before you start any exercises, talk with your doctor or physical therapist. It is important that you know exactly how to do the exercises. Stop and call your doctor if you are not sure you are doing the exercises correctly or if you have any pain. Ice your knee after exercising if it is sore.
