Having a total knee replacement (TKR) is a big decision- and it’s often the start of a new, pain-free chapter. But the real recovery begins after surgery, when you start moving again.
That’s where home physiotherapy plays an important role.
💪 Why Home Physiotherapy Matters After TKR
After TKR, it’s common to feel stiffness, swelling or weakness in your operated leg. Without proper movement and strengthening, your recovery can slow down.
Home physiotherapy helps you:
- Regain strength and flexibility– gentle exercises improve muscle power and joint movement.
- Reduce swelling and stiffness– guided stretches keep your knee from locking up.
- Walk with confidence again– step-by-step training helps you return to daily activities safely.
- Save travel time– no need to travel to a rehab center, which reduces pain and fatigue.
🩹 What Happens During Home Physio Sessions
Your home physiotherapist will guide you step by step through your recovery. A session may include:
- Gentle range of motion and stretching exercises
- Strengthening movements for thigh and leg muscles
- Gait training to help you walk correctly and confidently
- Pain or swelling management– using electrical stimulation, ice or heat if needed
Each exercise plan is adjusted based on your comfort and progress.
🚶 When Can You Start Walking Again?
Walking usually starts early- sometimes just a few days after surgery. With regular home physiotherapy, you can expect:
- Week 1-2: Walking with a walker
- Week 3-6: Progressing to a cane
- Week 6-12: Walking independently with better balance and strength
The key is consistency. Regular exercise, even small amounts, makes a big difference.
