Adapt

Knee Replacement Rehab

Knee Replacement RehabPhysiotherapyNeutral Bay

Knee replacement recovery is heavily dependent on how much you train, not just how good your surgeon is. At Adapt you train multiple times a week from the early weeks, with physios tracking your range of motion, quad strength, and gait at every session.

How we treat it

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.

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

Questions about knee replacement rehab

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically two to three weeks post-surgery, once your surgeon clears you for gym-based work. We start gently and progress from there.

Some discomfort during exercise is normal and expected in knee replacement rehab. We work within your pain threshold and progress based on your response — not a fixed timeline.
