Exercises Immediately After Surgery - Total Knee Replacement
Physical Therapist Assistants Mike and Alex demonstrate exercises that can be done immediately after total knee replacement surgery to prevent complications, increase circulation, and decrease pain.
Total Knee Replacement Exercises Immediately After Surgery
Total knee replacement recovery starts right after surgery. In this video, Alex and Mike demonstrate simple exercises after knee replacement surgery designed to improve circulation, reduce swelling, manage pain, and safely get you moving again.
Early exercises include deep breathing, glute sets, ankle pumps, leg elevation, icing, and gradually progressing to sitting, standing, and walking as tolerated. These activities can help promote blood flow, control post-surgery swelling, and prepare your body for the next stages of knee replacement rehabilitation.
Pain management is also important during this early phase. Follow your surgeon's recommendations for medication, activity, and post-operative precautions.
Watch the video above to see each exercise demonstrated and learn how to safely begin your total knee replacement exercise program immediately after surgery.
Always follow your surgeon or physical therapist's specific instructions, as recovery timelines and precautions may vary.
