Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Treatment in London following Knee Replacement Surgery

Regular exercise to restore strength and mobility to your knee is essential for your full recovery following knee replacement surgery. Our specialised London physiotherapist will perform manual techniques and use different aids to support and help you throughout the course of your rehabilitation. It is crucial to set realistic goals and carefully follow the exercise programme developed for you by our physiotherapist. The exercise and activity programme is set out into stages:

1. Early post operative exercises – following surgery it is important to increase circulation to the legs and feet, firstly to reduce inflammation and oedema, promote healing and to minimize the risk of blood clots. The exercises during this stage will help strengthen your muscles, improve knee movement and help diminish any post-operative pain.

2. Early activity – these exercises are designed to improve your mobility (walking, stair climbing/descending) and further strengthen quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, hip and pelvis muscles. We will also help you focus on improving agility and balance during movement, regain the full range of motion of your knee joint and minimize the risk of re-injury.

3. Advanced exercises – by this stage we will have helped you regain full independence. By increasing the difficulty and resistance of your exercise programme we will finally help you get back to your normal everyday activities building your strength and confidence. Our personal trainer, who is also a physiotherapist, can develop a sports programme to help you get back into your favourite sport in a safe manner.

What is A Knee Replacement or Knee Arthroplasty?

A knee replacement or knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure performed to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint and to relieve pain and disability. The most common cause for a knee replacement is due to arthritis, which causes inflammation of the knee due to wear and tear and deterioration of the joint as a consequence. The surgery replaces the damaged or diseased joint surfaces of the knee with artificial components made of metal and plastic. These components will once again allow the patient proper use and movement of their knee joint.

When Do We Need A Knee Replacement or Knee Arthroplasty?

Ageing is a common problem with this form of osteoarthritis, however a number of conditions can accelerate the process of deterioration of the knee joint.

Injury to the knee, rheumatoid disease, gout, infection and even increased body weight can certainly accelerate the wear and tear of the knee joint. Most patients requiring a knee replacement are diagnosed from physical examination followed by an X-ray or MRI dependent on the complexity of the patients’ symptoms.
