Most welcome!
Had total knee replacement about 18 months ago and you helped with my rehabilitation. I still stretch 5 days a week with some of the exercises you show here. Are there other stretches you can recommend. I still have some discomfort getting in and put of the car. Thanks.

Hi Mike! In particular, where exactly and what kind of discomfort have you been feeling when getting into/out of the car? Is it directly in the knee, under the patella, back of the knee? Is it trouble with bending it? Thanks for watching! Hope you’re doing well!

Thanks so much for your comment! Keep up the good work!
Hi Tim, I really like your pre and post op knee replacement exercises. I've been home now just over two weeks and it was quite the experience. However, I know I need to complete the process by doing all the post op exercises for at least a year. I worked out in a gym all the time prior to surgery 2-3 times a week and did your exercises. I did an all round work out with weights for an hour, rode a stationary bike 25 min, stretched with knee and core exercises before and after. I'm 60 years. How long do you think it will be before I can go back to the gym again? Do you think its a good idea to have a stationary bike or recumbent bike in the home to help? I'm using a walker right now and I know its a marathon to get to being fully physically active again.

Hello Kent, I'm happy to hear that you're doing well after surgery. It's usually most beneficial to have a stationary or recumbent bike in the home for ease of use every day unless your gym is close-by and easy for you to get to. Most people struggle to get to the gym after surgery because they can't drive themselves and most people don't want to go to the gym at this point after surgery because you should only be doing the bike there, nothing else. Other machine-based exercises typically can be added in starting 2-3 months post-op. You really should check out my in-depth article on post-op expectations and exercises.

@@PTTimewithTim Hi Tim, thanks for responding to me. Unfortunately, the gym at the community center is about 4-5 blocks away there and back. Definitely think its too soon to walk there even just to use their stationary or recumbent bikes. I don't have either bike in the home, but was contemplating purchasing one. Seems to me, its probably best to focus on exercises, like the ones in your article, (thanks) walk as best I can, continue to improve and in time, I'll be able to be active again maybe in 2-3 month as you mentioned :)
