About Knee Post-surgery Rehab
Other types of surgeries for the knee are fracture repairs or ligament /
tissue repair from trauma. The amount of force it takes to break bone
means that the soft tissues around the knee are most likely
significantly injured also. After surgery, due to limited movement,
range of motion is lost as well as strength. Since walking is a very
complex action of different muscles moving in a coordinated fashion, it
can be difficulty to walk after a knee surgery.
How physical therapy helps
Physical therapy is an important part of the rehabilitative process
after a knee surgery. Depending on your surgery and your physician’s
protocols, we gently progress you through a structured rehabilitation
program. The goal is to restore pain-free range of motion in the knee
while maintaining surgery recovery protocols. Finally, walking
coordination, balance and strength are improved so you can return to
normal pain-free walking. Call us today to learn more about our
post-surgery rehabilitation program.
