Rehabilitation Exercises
Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Exercises
Rehabilitation after any joint replacement follows the same principles: protect the healing tissues, restore range, rebuild strength and return to daily activities. The details differ by joint and surgical approach.
What it does
The surgery replaces the worn surfaces; rehabilitation makes the joint work well.
Our physiotherapists use it most often for total knee replacement, total hip replacement and shoulder arthropathy, and it features in our post-surgical rehabilitation programmes.
How to do it
- Early circulation and breathing exercises.
- Range of motion within your surgeon's limits.
- Muscle activation and progressive strengthening.
- Walking or arm function training.
- Return to daily activities and hobbies.
How much
Several short sessions a day early on, then daily programmes over months.
Stop and check with us if
- Increasing pain, redness, fever, wound discharge or calf swelling.
