Pre Surgery
Before surgery to replace your knee, you will have a pre-op meeting with our physiotherapy team, where we’ll discuss what to expect from the surgery in terms of improved mobility. At this stage you will also be measured for crutches to aid your post-operative recovery, and you will be shown a series of specific exercises to perform in order to build mobility and strength.
Post Surgery
After the surgery, we encourage early mobility – even beginning on the same day. You will see the physiotherapy team regularly during your stay, and before you’re discharged you’ll be shown how manage stairs at home (if required) and you’ll be taught how to do the specific exercises in your personal rehabilitation programme.
What happens at the pre- operative class?
It is an educational class where the physiotherapist will explain what happens during the joint replacement surgery and what to expect following surgery. They will measure you for an appropriate walking aid for use following your surgery. They will also explain the exercises that you will need to complete following your operation.
What do I wear?
Comfortable clothing.
Can I bring someone with me to the class?
You are welcome to bring someone with you to attend the class.
