How Apex Physiotherapy Home Care Helps You Recover Faster and Better?

Knee replacement surgery is often the turning point for people suffering from chronic knee pain and limited movement. But surgery alone isn’t enough — physiotherapy before and after knee replacement is essential to ensure a smooth recovery, better mobility, and long-term success.

That’s where Apex Physiotherapy Home Care, one of Mumbai’s trusted names in home physiotherapy, becomes your perfect recovery partner.

Why Pre-Surgery Physiotherapy (Prehabilitation) Is So Important

Before your knee replacement surgery, your muscles, ligaments, and joints may already be weak or stiff. Pre-surgery physiotherapy — also called prehabilitation — prepares your body for surgery by:

💪 Strengthening muscles around your knee, hip, and leg for faster recovery.
🦶 Improving flexibility and joint mobility.
🧘 Teaching safe movement patterns and exercises you’ll continue after surgery.
🧠 Reducing anxiety by helping you understand your recovery plan.

Studies show that patients who do physiotherapy before knee replacement experience less pain and recover mobility sooner after surgery.

Post-Surgery Physiotherapy: The Heart of Knee Replacement Recovery

Once your surgery is done, your body needs to heal, rebuild strength, and re-learn movement. That’s where post knee replacement physiotherapy becomes vital.At this stage, Apex Physiotherapy focuses on:

✅ Reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
✅ Improving range of motion and flexibility.
✅ Strengthening the muscles that support your new knee joint.
✅ Restoring balance, confidence, and walking ability.
✅ Preventing long-term complications or joint stiffness.

Early and consistent physiotherapy after knee surgery ensures that your implant functions smoothly and helps you regain your normal lifestyle faster.
