Physiotherapy for Stiffness After a Knee Replacement
Have you recently undergone knee replacement surgery? Does your knee still feel stiff when walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair? Are you finding it difficult to bend or straighten the knee fully? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for post-surgical rehabilitation? Consistent physiotherapy is an important part of recovery after knee replacement.
Why Does Stiffness Occur?
After surgery, swelling, pain, muscle weakness, and reduced movement can temporarily limit knee mobility. Avoiding movement because of discomfort may further contribute to stiffness and weakness.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and functional independence. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Progressive knee mobility exercises
β’ Quadriceps and hamstring strengthening
β’ Walking and gait training
β’ Balance and functional exercises
β’ Swelling and pain management
What You Can Try at Home
Follow your surgeon's weight-bearing instructions, perform prescribed exercises regularly, walk as advised, elevate the leg when needed, and avoid pushing the knee aggressively through pain.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised post-operative rehabilitation to improve knee mobility, restore strength, and help you return safely to daily activities.
