Structured rehab for ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and total knee replacement.
After knee surgery, patients experience swelling, stiffness, difficulty bending or straightening the knee, muscle atrophy — especially of the quadriceps — pain with weight-bearing, and loss of proprioception (joint position sense). Walking is often limited and requires assistive devices. Many patients feel anxious about re-injury and lose confidence in the joint. Range of motion is severely restricted in the first 2–4 weeks, and functional tasks like climbing stairs, squatting, or driving become challenging.
Recovery challenges arise from the surgical trauma itself, immobilization, protective muscle guarding, adhesion formation around scar tissue, and reduced neural drive to the quadriceps. Common surgeries requiring rehab include ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy or meniscal repair, total knee replacement (TKR), patellar realignment, and cartilage restoration procedures. Without structured physiotherapy, patients risk stiffness, chronic weakness, gait deviations, and re-injury.
Post-Surgical Knee Recovery affects thousands of patients across Bengaluru each year, disrupting work, sleep, and daily activity. Left untreated, it can compound into chronic pain, reduced mobility, and downstream issues in adjacent joints. Our physiotherapists at Pro Physiotherapy in JP Nagar, Bengaluru use a diagnostic-first approach — we assess your specific presentation before prescribing a treatment plan tailored to your body and lifestyle.
We follow surgeon-approved protocols in coordination with orthopedic specialists across Bengaluru. Early phase focuses on swelling control (ice, compression, elevation), gentle passive/active range of motion, quadriceps activation, and gait retraining. Middle phase builds strength, balance, and proprioception with progressive resistance, Bosu ball, and functional training. Advanced phase reintroduces sport or activity-specific loading, plyometrics, and confidence-building tasks. Every session includes goal setting, and we track objective outcomes weekly.
