Post-Surgical Rehabilitation (Knee Pain)
Post-surgical rehabilitation for the knee helps you recover strength, motion, and function after a knee surgery such as ACL repair, meniscus surgery, total knee replacement, or arthroscopy. Without proper rehab, it's harder to return to normal activities.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation (Knee Pain)
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Loss of muscle strength and flexibility after surgery
- Stiffness and swelling in the knee joint
- Difficulty walking, bending, or putting weight on the leg
- Pain or limited movement after surgery
- Scar tissue, which can block normal joint motion
- Delayed healing without guided physical therapy
What Happens If Left Untreated?
If post-surgical rehab is skipped, it can lead to chronic knee pain, stiffness, poor balance, limited mobility, and slower or incomplete recovery, affecting your ability to walk, work, or stay active.
