Struggling with pain, stiffness or a limp after knee replacement surgery? Our knee replacement rehabilitation physiotherapists help you walk Shivaji Park and climb stairs again — with a surgeon-co-designed recovery plan built around you.
Knee replacement is one of the most successful operations in modern orthopaedics, but the final result depends almost entirely on the physiotherapy that follows it. Skipping structured rehab is the single biggest cause of a stiff, weak or painful knee months later.
At Dadar Physiotherapy Clinic, our knee replacement rehabilitation physio programme follows international post-op guidelines and is co-designed with leading orthopaedic surgeons across Mumbai. Every plan is built around your surgeon's protocol, your home layout and your personal recovery goals.
We typically start home visits within 1–3 days of hospital discharge, then transition you to clinic-based physiotherapy for knee replacement between week 2 and week 4 — so support is always matched to where you are in recovery.
Every recovery hits a few of these challenges — here's how our knee replacement rehabilitation specialists support you through each one.
Post-op pain and swelling can limit early movement. We use targeted physiotherapy techniques and gentle loading to keep you comfortable and moving.
A knee that won't bend past 90° needs urgent attention. Our physiotherapists use hands-on mobilisation to protect your final range of motion.
Many patients feel unsteady on the new joint. We rebuild confidence with supervised gait training so walking feels safe again.
Recovery affects the whole household, not just the patient. Our team guides families on safe assistance so support at home feels manageable.
From hospital discharge to full gym return, our knee replacement rehabilitation physio covers every phase of the journey.
Early swelling control and first assisted steps with a frame under close physiotherapist supervision.
Progressing to walking without aids and starting careful stair practice at home or in clinic.
Focused work on regaining full knee bend alongside progressive quadriceps and hamstring strength.
Planning your safe return to driving, timed around which knee was operated and reflex speed.
Building walking distance and stamina so daily errands and outings feel normal again.
Structured return to gym-based training or light sport once strength benchmarks are met.
Specialist support for joints stuck below 100° bend, including manipulation-support physiotherapy.
A modified, slower-paced protocol for patients undergoing a second-time knee replacement.
Extra wound-care attention and closely monitored loading for patients with slower healing.
The earlier your rehabilitation starts, the better your outcome — watch for these signs that you need support now.
Almost every knee replacement benefits from gentle, guided movement this early.
