Total Knee Replacement Physical Therapy

Regaining Mobility and Independence With Rehabilitation

Recovering from Total Knee Replacement (TKA), also known as knee arthroplasty, requires a tailored approach to restore mobility, strength, and overall function. Physical therapy plays a critical role in helping patients regain independence and improve their quality of life following this procedure.

Our Methods For Knee Replacement Rehab

Exercise: Physical Therapists use exercise to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance.

Manual Therapy: This involves hands-on techniques such as massage, mobilization, and manipulation to help reduce pain and improve mobility.

Biodex Isokintetics: Using a computer assisted machine to provide resistance to the muscles during movement, allowing for a more controlled and specific type of exercise.

Delfi Blood Flow Restriction: Restricting blood flow to a targeted muscle group during exercise to enhance muscle growth and strength, while reducing the weight required for effective training.

What to Expect During Physical Therapy After Total Knee Replacement

Your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation of your knee to assess your range of motion, strength, and mobility. They will also discuss your goals and any concerns you may have.

Based on the initial evaluation, your Physical Therapist will develop a treatment plan to help you reach your goals. This may include exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Advanced techniques such as Biodex Isokinetic and Delfi Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) may also be incorporated into your treatment plan.

Your physical therapist will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. They will also educate you on proper techniques for exercising at home.

What Our Patients Say

“My experience with Tracey was excellent after my my total knee replacement surgery. Tracey was very encouraging and varied the type of exercises to keep me motivated in my recovery. I highly recommend to anyone who needs rehab after surgery to find one of the several offices they have in the Flathead Valley to get started on their road to recovery.
