- Cash-Pay Practice: Our focus is on your progress, not on insurance limitations. This model allows us to create a personalized, comprehensive plan that prioritizes your recovery timeline and goals. (Superbills are available for potential “out-of-network” reimbursement; Medicare is not accepted.)
- Personalized, Research-Backed Care: Every session is strictly one-on-one, grounded in the latest evidence to reduce your pain, improve your knee’s range of motion, and restore your overall function.
- Environmental Assessment: By treating you in your home, our team can identify and address real-world hazards. We provide tailored solutions and practical training for navigating stairs, chairs, and other obstacles in your daily life, helping to improve your safety and prevent future injury.
When to Start Physical Therapy After Knee Replacement
We begin working with most of our patients within the first week of knee surgery, during a critical period for restoring motion and preventing complications. Our doctors of physical therapy will come to you, providing one-on-one sessions without the stress of travel. We’ll work together to create a customized rehab plan focused on your specific needs, helping you regain your knee’s full range of motion and strength in a familiar environment.
We’ll build on the exercises you learned in the hospital, with a strong focus on achieving full knee extension and regaining your mobility. The initial weeks are a crucial window for a successful long-term recovery. By starting therapy promptly, we help you avoid complications like blood clots and muscle atrophy, and we set a solid foundation for your new knee.
A Personalized Home Exercise Program
Our personalized program includes a progression of exercises designed to strengthen your knee and the surrounding muscles. We’ll guide you through each one, ensuring proper form and a focus on your most critical needs.
- Ankle Pumps & Quad Setting: These gentle exercises are used in the first few days after surgery to “wake up” your muscles and promote circulation, which helps prevent blood clots.
- Straight Leg Raises: We will teach you how to perform this exercise to build strength in your upper leg and thigh muscles.
- Knee Straightening: A crucial exercise to help you walk without a limp.
- Knee Bending: We will use various techniques, including using a stationary bike, to safely and effectively improve your knee’s flexion.
