TL;DR

Every day of delay after knee replacement costs **3–5% muscle strength** and adds **2–3 weeks** to full recovery. Pro Physiotherapy JP Nagar delivers a **12-week home-visit post-TKR protocol** — day-1 CPM, week-2 flexion to 90°, week-6 stair confidence, week-12 discharge. Aligned with **Apollo Bannerghatta, Manipal Old Airport, Fortis, Sakra, HCG and Aster** surgeon protocols. **Sessions from ₹549. detailed insurance-friendly receipt.**

Total Knee Replacement — What Recovery Really Looks Like

A total knee replacement (TKR) removes the arthritic tibiofemoral surface and re-lines it with a metal-and-polyethylene implant. The surgery is safe and long-lasting — but the outcome depends **almost entirely on the first 12 weeks of physiotherapy**. Patients who begin structured rehab on day 1 walk unaided at week 6; patients who delay it by even 72 hours often need 10–14 weeks to reach the same milestone (Bade 2020, JOSPT).

The two failure modes are also well documented. **Arthrofibrosis** — scar-tissue stiffening around the implant — occurs in 3–5% of TKRs and is preventable with early ROM. **Quadriceps shutdown** — where the front-thigh muscle refuses to fire post-op — is universal in the first 3 weeks and needs neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) + closed-chain quads work. Both are addressed on our day-1 home visit.

Day-1 Home-Visit TKR Assessment

The first home visit is scheduled **within 24–48 hours of hospital discharge**. It lasts 60–75 minutes. We measure: knee flexion & extension ROM (goniometer), surgical wound status, quadriceps activation via manual muscle test + NMES, Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG), 10-metre walk test (10MWT), knee circumference (effusion), and a pain diary.

We coordinate directly with your operating surgeon (Apollo Bannerghatta, Manipal Old Airport Road, Fortis Cunningham Road, Sakra Marathahalli, HCG, Aster CMI, Narayana Health City) and follow the exact protocol they issued at discharge. Weekly ROM + TUG + KOOS scores are shared with the surgeon by WhatsApp. Every invoice carries ICD-10 code Z96.651 (knee joint replacement), CPT 97110/97112, clinician credentials and GST for insurance reimbursement.

7-Step Post-Knee-Replacement Home Protocol

1
Same-day home dispatch after hospital discharge

Median arrival: JP Nagar 90 min · Bannerghatta / Jayanagar 2 hrs · HSR / Koramangala 3 hrs. Get flexion moving before scar tissue sets.

2
Day-1 CPM + heel slides + quads sets

Continuous Passive Motion 2×/day, heel-slide flexion pattern, isometric quads holds. Locks in ROM before stiffness becomes structural.

3
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on quads

Twice-daily NMES ends quads shutdown in 10–14 days — the single biggest predictor of week-6 walking outcome.

4
Week 2–4 progressive weight-bear + walker weaning

Move from walker → one crutch → cane → unaided over 4–6 weeks per surgeon clearance. Level 1 evidence in AAOS CPGs.

5
Week 6 hip + glute strengthening

Once flexion hits 115° we shift emphasis to hip abduction, glute-med, single-leg squat. Prevents the classic post-TKR limp and the contralateral knee overload.

6
Week 8 stair training + balance

Stairs are the last skill to return. We drill step-up, step-down, and reciprocal stair pattern with hand-rail wean.

7
Week 12 discharge testing + written clearance

ROM ≥ 120°, TUG < 12 s, 6MWT ≥ 350 m, KOOS-JR > 75. Written discharge letter shared with the operating surgeon and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should physiotherapy start after knee replacement in Bangalore?
On day 0 or day 1 post-discharge — the same day you reach home. Every additional day of immobilisation costs 3–5% of quadriceps strength (Kortebein JAMA 2007) and adds 2–3 weeks to recovery. Our clinician arrives within 90 minutes across South Bengaluru.
How much does knee replacement physiotherapy at home cost in Bangalore?
Standard 45-minute home visit ₹799. Day-1 assessment + 12-week written plan ₹1,800. 24-session TKR package ₹22,500 (home) / ₹15,900 (clinic). Clinic follow-up sessions ₹549. Every invoice is a qualified official receipt with ICD-10 Z96.651 accepted by Star Health, HDFC ERGO, ICICI Lombard, Care Health and Aditya Birla for reimbursement.
How many sessions will I need after total knee replacement?
Typical: 24–36 sessions across 12–16 weeks. Weeks 1–2 daily (14 sessions), weeks 3–6 alternate-day (12 sessions), weeks 7–12 twice-weekly (10 sessions). Bilateral TKR needs 36–48 sessions across 16–20 weeks. Every plan is written on day 1 and re-scored weekly.
Can I get bilateral knee replacement physiotherapy at home in Bangalore?
Yes. Bilateral TKR patients need daily home visits for the first 14 days (transfer safety), then alternate-day for weeks 3–6, then twice-weekly through week 20. We coordinate with your surgeon's specific bilateral protocol from Apollo, Manipal, Fortis, Sakra, HCG or Aster.
Do you coordinate with my Apollo / Manipal / Fortis knee surgeon?
Yes. We follow the operating surgeon's written protocol and share weekly ROM, TUG, 10MWT and KOOS-JR scores by WhatsApp or email. We routinely coordinate with knee surgeons at Apollo Bannerghatta, Manipal Old Airport Road, Fortis Cunningham Road, Sakra Marathahalli, HCG Kalinga Rao, Aster CMI Hebbal, Aster RV JP Nagar and Narayana Health City.
