Post-Surgery Knee Rehabilitation

What is Post-Surgery Knee Rehabilitation?

Post-surgery knee rehabilitation is a specialized program designed to help individuals recover strength, mobility, and function after knee surgeries such as ACL reconstruction, knee replacement, meniscus repair, or arthroscopic procedures. The process is essential for regaining independence and returning to daily activities or sports safely.

At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we understand that every surgical recovery journey is unique. Our tailored rehabilitation plans focus on optimizing healing, managing pain, and preventing complications for long-term success.

Why is Post-Surgery Knee Rehab Important?

Knee surgery often involves trauma to the surrounding tissues, which can lead to stiffness, weakness, and reduced range of motion. Without a proper rehabilitation plan, recovery may be delayed, and the risk of re-injury can increase.
Post-surgery rehab is crucial for:

Effective techniques to manage post-operative discomfort.

Targeted exercises to rebuild muscle strength and joint flexibility.

Gradually returning to daily activities with confidence.

Addressing scar tissue and preventing joint stiffness.
