Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), commonly called knee replacement, replaces a damaged knee joint with a prosthetic implant and is often recommended for individuals with severe arthritis or chronic knee pain that limits mobility.

Our Approach to Knee Replacement Rehabilitation
Exercise: Our therapists prescribe focused exercises to build strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on care—such as soft-tissue work, joint mobilization, and other techniques—to reduce pain and improve motion.
Biodex Isokinetics: Computer-guided equipment applies consistent resistance through movement, enabling precise, well-controlled strengthening.
Delfi Blood Flow Restriction: Temporarily and safely limiting blood flow to targeted muscles during exercise to promote strength and growth while training with lighter loads.
What to Expect During Physical Therapy After Total Knee Replacement
Your physical therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your knee to measure range of motion, strength, and mobility, and will discuss your goals and any concerns.
Based on the initial evaluation, your therapist will create a tailored plan to help you reach your goals. This often includes exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, and may integrate advanced options such as Biodex isokinetic training and Delfi blood flow restriction (BFR).
Your therapist will monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed, while teaching proper techniques for your at-home exercise routine.
