I had knee replacement surgery end of August last year. Did all those exercises before & after surgery. It was tough but worth it, I can walk fast, no pain & not bow legged anymore. Best thing I did.
@@PurpleHaze929 And stupid me didn't know anything abt the scar tissue causing problems. So i didn't do stick to my exercise routine. Is all hope lost or can you recommend some exercises to build range of motion and strength?
@@callmedave8802 . It’s important before you have a lot of scar buildup to get as much range of motion as possible. I would find a physical therapist so they can evaluate your situation & see if certain exercises could improve it at this point. Strengthening is possible any time. Squats, leg lifts, walking. Good Luck!! 👍
Thanks! These work great for my more invasive knee arthroscopy that included partial menisectomy and a larger incision for removing a massive loose body. Slower progress than usual arthroscopy but right in line with the recovery period of total knee replacement. These progressive guides are way better than the instructions given by the hospital.
Wow! Thanks I just had my knee replacement in December 2019. I’m still working on my knee. These are great exercise since I can’t go to physical Therapy.
Total left knee replacement 18 days post. Thanks guys for what you do as therapists. I negotiated going back to work at week 4. 60 yo male and lively hood driven. To those effected: Learn which pain is what to work through rather than to medicate. There is a difference Be honest in your recovery. Only you know, Right? Set a goal, exceed a goal. This is important. If you are honest with your ability, .. you get my point. Run everything past your therapist. I mean every pain ache and restless leg issue . I'm in pain telling you this but I know I will overcome. That I will be back to work in 4 wees
You are right about bringing up specific pains with the PT. Otherwise you might be given exercises that exacerbate instead of help when a week of a new exercise might solve the issue. I only figured out this a month into PT. Now I realize I must take my healing into my own hands.
Thanks for these tips. I’m 6 weeks post-op for TNR, great range of motion and extension and getting bored with the home exercises, so adding a few new ones should help. When I go to PT I end up using machines that I don’t have access to otherwise and in a way that’s not helpful for the daily grind.
Any videos on young fit 40 year olds who did prehab and was very fit before a partial or full knee replacement. I’m 4 weeks post op from a partial knee and progressing fast but would like to see more videos for younger fit people. These PTA’s are very good.
The step ups and step down should be done on a stool large enough for the whole foot to be on the stool. The heel should not be hanging off on the step ups.
I am in 12 weeks of my both knees replaced, but I am not able to walk confidently! Sometimes when I am standing I trip backwards or front. I can walk without holding anything only I do not bend my knees, walk comfortably without bending knees as I loose valance always bending my knees.
I’m 3 months after total knee replacement, the outer side of leg is in constant pain, like cramps. It has to do with how I stand on my operated leg. Can you suggest exercises to correct this? I started doing the “after 8 weeks routine”, some exercises are still hard…. Thanks in advance for your input!
Just a small point.. In the #2, sit to stand exercise, Mike says if your left leg is strong you may push off like this.... and he bends stronger on the weak left side. Sorry for being picky Mike.
Quite good. Must comment though, try not to stand with your arms crossed all the time as if you are not really interested and actually doing this video was boring for you.
Using the step stool is a REALLY BAD idea. Shocked that these guys are suggesting using the stool which could slide & also using poles....? Wow, SUPER bad idea, hope they don't get sued!

Wow I've been in PT for 3.5 month (one knee then the other replaced) and this has been more informative than they are for these exercises. Thank you!

How can I see TKR weeks 1 -3
Baby Bob and Brad, the wonder years🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have been doing this phase for 3 weeks. I am still having pain going down stairs. Any suggestions on how to reduce pain going down stairs?
and what about the people specially ladies who has both the knee replaced in a interval of 6 days ?
As a teenager, is it bad to frequently crack you knuckles?
Yes.
We do not currently have a video on that but I will add it to our to do list!
How can I see previous week 1-3 physio
Just type in the search engine post op total knee replacement 0 to 3 weeks and it'll pop up... I just got done watching
Quite good. Must comment though, try not to stand with your arms crossed all the time as if you are not really interested and actually doing this video was boring for you.
Using the step stool is a REALLY BAD idea. Shocked that these guys are suggesting using the stool which could slide & also using poles....? Wow, SUPER bad idea, hope they don't get sued!
They said " imagine this is your stairs, and these poles are your handrails"...
My PT told me to use a step stool if I don't have stairs. My mom has a step stool and I use it along woth her bed rail.
I bought an exercise step. Works great and you can add more height to it as you progress. Forget the stool.
