Top 3 Strengthening Exercises 6 Weeks After Knee Replacement

Strength is VITAL after a total knee replacement...and most rehab stops TOO EARLY ❌

Here are 3 knee replacement exercises that can help when 6 weeks or more post-op and graduated from initial PT.

As a physical therapist, I used to work in home care helping patients recover after total knee and hip replacements. Often times, people would progres to outpatient therapy but would end therapy before they were able to start working on higher level strength, balance and stamina exercises. Therapy would get them to a point where they could do "just enough" that insurance would stop paying.

If you want to get back to your active, adventurous life after your knee replacement, you have to continue to build up, not only your thigh strength but also your hips. Here are three total knee replacement exercises that can help you get started after you are at least 6 weeks post-op. Each exercise also has a prerequisite as each person's recovery will be slightly different.
