Surgery Toolkit: Knee replacement exercises for before and after surgery
This follow-along routine features stretching and strengthening exercises for before and after knee replacement surgery. Daljit, who is awaiting knee surgery, joins physiotherapist Milly Abdullah to demonstrate the exercises.
This video is part of the Surgery Toolkit, a series designed for people living with arthritis who are awaiting or recovering from joint replacement surgery. Staying active is important if you’re waiting for or recovering from surgery. Being fitter and stronger can improve the success of the operation and lead to a faster recovery time.
In the Surgery Toolkit you’ll also find tailor-made, follow-along exercise routines for hip and shoulder replacement, as well as full body workouts to help you maintain overall fitness. The series also includes advice films, personal stories and top tips on staying active before and after surgery from those living with arthritis who have been through joint replacement surgery.
This series is part of Let’s Move, a programme for people with arthritis who want more movement in their lives. Sign up today to the free newsletter to receive all the latest content to help you to get active in a way that works for you: action.versusarthritis.org/pa....

I am from india working as a physiotherapist in a cancer hospital having experience around 12yrs...
I’d like to see her doing them after the TKR.
I don't know where this lady lives, but in my area she'd be waiting years for knee surgery under the NHS. In my area you have to be in excruciating pain all the time, have lost most of your mobility, but also they won't do it if you are overweight. If you are the latter your only option is paying to be done privately. The only people I know who have had knee replacements recently have had them done privately. Everyone else is stuck on the waiting list indefinitely, it seems, and they are using any excuse to kick you further down the road. I've been bone on bone for 3 years now, in both knees, and have been a healthy weight all the time, and doing the exercises for longer than 3 years. And now one hip has moved from mild OA to severe, and the other hip has developed mild OA. After 3 years I've finally got access to knee offloader braces, too little too late, typical NHS, just when crutches look to be needed instead. Physiotherapists and GPs can't prescribe knee braces, only orthopaedic surgeons, and you don't get anywhere near an orthopaedic surgeon until your OE has been end stage for a few years.
Did 3 lunges each leg took 3 days to recover!

I know the feeling.
When you step up, do you put your weight on your bent operated leg?
Is this ok after the recent study on the muscles damaged after Covid?
Hello these are perfect. Thank you. I have pre op in November so will be doing these for the next month and then until I get surgery. Am I right in thinking this will do no harm to the opposing leg? 😊
