Knee replacement physiotherapy in Mohali
A new knee needs a plan. Bending and straightening, walking without a limp, stairs, the first car ride. Each milestone is worked on in order.
When it may help
Does this sound like you?
The first twelve weeks after a joint replacement shape how well the knee works for years. Rehabilitation focuses on range, strength and walking quality, and on not overdoing it on good days. For selected patients, aqua therapy may make early walking and strengthening easier, because water supports part of the body's weight.

- First weeks after a knee replacement

How sessions work
Four stages, at your pace
- 01
Start where you are
Range, swelling, walking pattern and strength are measured first.
- 02
Bend and straighten
Daily range work, because both directions matter for walking.
- 03
Strength and balance
Quadriceps, hips and balance so the knee feels stable.
- 04
Real-life practice
Stairs, getting in and out of a car, longer walks and daily routines.

Building strength and learning the exercises before surgery can make the early weeks easier. Ask about a pre-surgery session.
