How We Approach Knee Replacement Rehabilitation
Exercise: Our physical therapists prescribe targeted movements to build strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on care—such as soft tissue work, joint mobilization, and manipulation—helps reduce pain and improve mobility.
Biodex Isokinetics: A computer-assisted device provides resistance through movement, allowing for precise and controlled exercise.
Delfi Blood Flow Restriction: Temporarily restricting blood flow to a specific muscle group during exercise promotes muscle growth and strength while using lighter weights.
What to Expect in Physical Therapy After a Total Knee Replacement
Your physical therapist will complete a thorough evaluation of your knee to assess range of motion, strength, and mobility, and will discuss your goals and any concerns.
Using the initial assessment, your therapist will create a personalized plan to help you meet your goals. This may include exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, and can incorporate advanced tools such as Biodex Isokinetic and Delfi Blood Flow Restriction (BFR).
Your therapist will track your progress and make adjustments as needed. You’ll also learn proper techniques for performing your home exercises safely and effectively.
