Knee Replacement Rehab
Knee replacement rehabilitation at Adapt focuses on high training frequency from the early post-operative weeks. Physiotherapists track range of motion, quadriceps strength and gait at every session, and programs follow your surgeon's post-operative protocol.
l How does Adapt approach knee replacement rehab?
We start with ROM work and gentle quad activation in the first few weeks, then build through strength and functional movement progressively. Check-ins happen at every session — not once a fortnight. If something isn't tracking right, we catch it early.
What is the typical program timeline?
12–16 weeks to functional recovery. Programs are reviewed and updated at each clinical consultation.
Best for
- Total or partial knee replacement patients (from about 2–3 weeks post-op)
- Older adults who want close clinical support through recovery
- People who've had slow recoveries before and want a different approach
Not for
- Immediately post-op — the first one to two weeks are better managed with home physio
- Patients with active wound complications or infection
