@boost_physio: Recovering from a Total Knee Replacement (TKR)? Start Moving Safely in the first 2 weeks. After TKR the knee is very swollen and movement can be painful and feel stiff. It is important to gradually regain movement in the knee and muscle activation as soon as possible. Our expert physios demonstrate 3 essential early-stage exercises after knee replacement surgery to help reduce swelling, regain knee flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements — safely and effectively: ✅ Heel Slides – gently bend and straighten your knee to restore mobility. ✅ Quad Sets – activate quadriceps front of thigh muscle to improve extension ✅ Standing Knee flexion- to activate hamstrings 💡 These are gentle starter exercises — we usually recommend in the first 2 weeks after surgery- although not always suitable for every patient. 🩺 Need tailored rehab after your knee replacement?

I’m pre-op, and I was wondering about the stitches they put in, doing exercises like this is there not a chance of ripping stitches out or tearing wound…?
