About physio after a knee replacement
Your physiotherapist will visit you in hospital to assess your knee and talk to you about rebuilding your strength and mobility. They'll show you how to do a range of simple exercises to bend and straighten your knee and strengthen your leg muscles. Your physiotherapist will let you know how many repetitions of each exercise you should do in hospital and when you return home. Often, you'll also have a course physio as an outpatient to support your recovery.
