very useful for me thank you very much, grazie doc
nicee
Hello. I appreciate this video is a year old but I’d really like a structured program I can follow. I had a revision knee replacement in January (my original one 10 years in NZ was not good and surgeon here in France the prosthesis was the wrong size and patella 4cm too low). I am 72. I did well at first but then got covid followed by 2 soft tissue infections. I feel I have gone backwards in my recovery. I stopped going to physio because it hurt too much. I have good ROM (0 to 120) but my knee is stiff, especially when I get up but is ok once I start moving. I can ride my bike. But I can’t walk more than few hundred metres without experiencing pain and needing to be careful not to limp. I look forward to hearing from you if I’m not too late
I'm sorry to hear about your experience @Barbara-ex3ge. I understand your situation. The good thing is that you have good ROM. 0-120 is very good. Keep up with your flexion and extension stretch to maintain this. The stiffness when you get up is common in your situation. Mostly it's the scar tissue around the area. My suggestion is move your knee every 15 minutes to prevent this from happening. Movement is key that is why you feel better when you start moving. So incorporate that when you are sitting. The pain you have when you walk a few hundred meters (which is not a long distance) is most probably due to inflammation. I recommend icing your knee or even taking some OTC to help you get that inflammation down. Also do strengthening exercises to help you walk further. You can look at my channel for various exercises that can help you. If you need specific instructions tailored for your condition, let me know and we can set something up. I hope this helps.
What if im experiencing both? 😭
I'm sorry to hear this @hyannamusic. Sometimes it does happen that the symptoms you feel are not very specific. In this situation, I suggest ruling out the more serious problem which in this case is the kidney issue. I suggest checking with your doctor for further evaluation and testing to rule that out. I wish you the best.🙏
@@restorepluspt thank you so much. If its okay to ask doc, may I ask if who’s the best specialist to go to in this case?
If you have knee stif what do i do is one month now
I understand what you are saying @marymwangi7061. One month is not a long time in TKR recovery. Stiffness is still expected at this point. I suggest keeping up with your stretching and exercises to help with the stiffness. I wish you a speedy recovery.🙏
Hello Sir Can I do this exercise bare foot or with shoes?
Good question @azizakhan7066. You can do either. I suggest doing it with sneakers first to give you more stability. I hope this helps.
Nice one thanks
You're welcome @sundarggurung13!♥
Can you have a pillow under your head while sleeping on your back?
Good question @karenquinn8640. Yes you can have a pillow under your head.
What about day 9 and no sigh of a bruise anywhere?
Good to hear this @mae1813. That is a good sign if you have no bruising. That means your body reacted well to the procedure.👍
I knew you were gonna say side Sleep was the worst because that’s how I sleep. Probably can sleep on my back but then I have an issue with sleep apnea and the CPAP. No one semi lucky thing is I tend to get up 2 to 3 times a night to go to the bathroom so I can straighten my leg and bend it and do my exercises.
That is a good strategy @jss27560. Keep repositioning your knee and keep up with the exercises. That will pay off in the long run.👍
TRANSFORMERS- More Than Meets The Eye!
Is it possible to get back to this movement after healing and strengthening (no surgery)? This movement is a part of the overhead smash for many racket sports so wanted to see if I cannot do this ever again
Good question @kabnis2022. Yes it is possible depending on the severity of your injury. If you dislocated it once, with proper strengthening, the chances of you getting back to doing overhead smash is high. If it is repeated dislocations already, it is still possible but the chances goes down. Check out the video I created for the exercises on how to prevent shoulder dislocation. I hope this helps.🙏
U tạlk with music on and your so fast cant even hear a thing... Uta frustrating
Hi, I'm 47 and 26 days after TKR, I slept on my back and occasionally with a pillow under my knee at nighttime but not during the day when I slept, I was also able to do various exercises quite early on, my issue is that I am unable to bend my leg to 90° and that is hindering my walking, what ever I try I am physically unable to bend this leg further. I must say due to communication issues I have also not had any physio at all.
I'm sorry to hear this @SamanthaRoach-wl8lm. Having 90 deg of flexion is an issue not only with walking but also with sitting and stairs just to name a couple. I suggest checking out my other videos on how to improve your knee flexion and doing them as often as you can. Also using heat on your quads and massaging it can help make the stretching more effective. I hope this helps.🙏
I had my total replacement done 4 days ago, I was about to call 911 becouse of the bruising...but I found your video 😊😊
Happy to help @darius3550! I wish you the best in your recovery.🙏

Happy to help @mdlg5043😊
I was waiting for the solution befóre going to was dishes?
Hi @eldenecherylgoosen2106. Please check out my other video where I demonstrated the solution. I hope it helps.🙏
Came for the answer, stayed for the lecture. Great video! *Edit* I started a new job a month ago and work 75+ hours a week. I have had a very tender back, and was scared I may throw it out at work since my job is very physical. My dad suggested icy hot lidocaine patches and a heating pad. Every night after I shower, I used the heating pad, then before bed apply the patch. It’s been slowly nursing the pain, but tonight I almost decided to throw my heating pad over my back (with the patch on) while I went to sleep. You saved me from waking up with terrible burns. Thank you
I'm happy to help @MrPokefanatic97!♥
I had my surgery on 2/04/2024 thanks for this video now i now the best position to sleep, I've been struggling along
You're welcome @user-do5xw5zy6c! Pleasure to help. I wish you the best in your recovery🙏
5days ago I dislocated my shoulder when I start this exasise
I have an ACL + Mencius surgery 1 year a go, but I still can’t get an hypertension. My knee is 100% no more pain.
I'm sorry to hear this @chanthymanyroath. I see this a number of times with patients. I suggest progress the prone hangs with weight on the ankle area starting with light then going to heavier around 10 lbs. Also try using heat on the hamstring area to soften it up. Also combine the prone hang with hamstring stretch. I hope this helps.🙏
thank you for your message i had knee replacement 5 days ago and today the bruising has got really bad
You're welcome @TrevorLutener. I know what you mean. That will go away. Icing will help make it go away a little faster. I wish you a speedy recovery.🙏
This exercise look amazing. My knee start giving after my first knee surgery
Thank you @Cybernetic263. I hope it helps.🙏
I actually dislocated my shoulder in my sleep doing that same movement
I'm sorry to hear this @josuerocha1728. I suggest taking a look at the video I created showing some exercises to prevent this from happening again. I hope that helps.🙏
Thank you so much for ur assurance to b able to walk without limping after knee surgery Just had a hip replacement but limping when I walk.Will have to go for knee replacement as well.Knee on the surgery side does not say well and painful too. Will my walk improve after that?
You're welcome @pamparoy416. I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. It is possible to walk normally (without limp) after a hip and knee replacement. For the hip replacement, make sure to strengthen your hip abductors as well as your balance and coordination. You can follow my videos to help you recover from your knee replacement. I wish you the best. 🙏
Im into my 4th week of TKR P.T. never explained how to sleep.
I'm sorry to hear this @cherylcalvin1341. I hope this video helps.🙏
I'm 4 1/2 weeks post op from left TKR and I can say that everything he recommends in this video is working and has been necessary for me, with regards to ice. Once I do each set of physio exercises directed by the clinic, for 3x day, and particularly when I walk about 2 blocks now, the back and front of my knee is swollen and very achy/ painful, when I stop. So, back to my couch, with a front and back ice knee wrap, for about 10-15r minutes and it helps tremendously. I can see and feel the difference. I am also not needing to take any pills thru the day, finally, with this routine. Happy about that because first 2 weeks my stomach was a total mess from all the pills! At night still waking up once or twice with "night aches", and taking 1 x strength Tylenol but sleeping quite a bit better since last week. Havent needed specific heat, but warm shower feels relaxing on back of leg and loosens it a bit before actual physio sessions. Definitely, "ice is my friend!" I've also learned what works for me is doing the repetitive, hard exercises in little bits all day now, first some of the stretches before getting out of bed, then squats or knee bends while standing at sink brushing teeth, dishes etc, sitting in chair to watch tv, and even while walking with walker and then cane, I stop and hold onto a lamppost and stretch hams standing etc, or lunge bend on a veranda stair etc so I dont have to do all at once, and its helping because I hate being tied to exercise sessions. Just have to make sure I note which I have done, or need to do, to complete all daily. Hope everyone else finds ways too. Dont give up! Thanks Reggie for ongoing accurate and good advice!
You're welcome @RoseBudFC! I'm happy that I could help. Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish the best in your recovery!🙏
Thanks
You're welcome @riffatbatool6278!♥
Can’t see the cone exercise. There are captions covering it.
I'm sorry about that @arielpenn. I'm learning more as I go along making videos in the effort of making better ones that are helpful.
What if knee ffd 30 degree following tkr surgery?
Can you clarify more @damodaranp7605? If you mean the knee flexion is 30 deg after TKR, I would suggest putting a lot more time and effort into bending that knee. 30 deg flexion is not good. As the longer that stays, the harder it is to bend it more. I wish you the best. 🙏
@@restorepluspt sir,knee extension is 30 degree and flexion is 120 degree.
@@damodaranp7605 Got it. You knee flexion is good. You have to work on your extension. 30 deg extension lag is a lot. You will not be able to get rid of your limp if you have that much extension lag. Check out my videos on how to get more extension on your knee. I hope it helps.
What if I wear a brace that keeps my leg straight?
Good question @sarahriley2332. That can help keep your leg straight if you really need it although I recommend trying without using a brace. As soon as you gain full extension, I suggest discontinuing that. You want to make sure that you get good flexion as well. I hope this helps.🙏
if i partially dislocated my shoulder 5 times will these exercises help to prevent future partial dislocations and stop them from happening or do i need to do more?
I'm sorry to hear this @adouma2345. These exercises can help in preventing future dislocations. In your situation, it may or may not be possible depending on how loose your shoulder already is. If it is too loose, you may require surgery. But certainly give this a try first. You have nothing to lose with trying the conservative approach first. I wish you the best. 🙏
thank you for reminding me of what i need to do… yes very painful but in the end hope i can walk normally
You're welcome @isabelmontes9948. I understand what you are going through. Hang in there. It will get better as you put in the work. I wish you the best.🙏
I just had knee injections on both my knees. Have you done physical therapy for that? Thanks a lot!
Yes @SargonofQueens. We see patients before and after knee injections. We aim to correct the imbalances using modalities, movements and exercises to further enhance and prolong the effect of the injection and get rid of your pain. You can contact us directly via email or phone if you are located in the area and want to come in-person and we would love to hep you.
Then why does everyone say to train until failure for weightlifting? You break muscles to grow them
Good question @trentw6806. In strengthening the muscle, some literature say train until failure but others do not support that. Also, training until failure does not necessarily mean train until it is painful. It is usually more of soreness or a little pain. A lot of pain is not recommended in most situations. Pain is the body's defense mechanism telling you something is wrong. I hope this helps.
Just had total left hip replacement and this is very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome @CR-nm2ov. Happy to help. I wish you the best.🙏
Thank you.....?? (you don't give us your name). I was told by my PT to go backward for some of the time on the elliptical; as it work different muscles (I can really feel this, specially on my quadriceps). Would you agree it's good to do?...like your site by the way , you explain things very well🙂
You're welcome @jojolouis. I'm Regie and I'm happy to hear that you find my page helpful. Going backwards is recommended at times. I often recommend going backwards on the bike initially if the patient has limited knee flexion. It is easier going backwards than forwards. I also recommend this for my ACL patients because it gets the hamstring working more. Once you have >90 deg of knee flexion on your TKR and when you want to progress strengthening your leg, I don't recommend pedaling backwards anymore as I find other exercises that can give better results at that stage. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much. My knee buckling feels like a painful earthquake. I will try these exercises. I will see an orthopedist tomorrow🥴
You're welcome @Carolyn-zu4ss. I wish you the best.🙏
Is it alright to take magnesium & tumeric tabs & drink tumeric tea after TKR (home 9th day) when still taking aspirin to thin blood to prevent blood clots or should not have till finish course of aspirin? Thanks for all your good sound advice much appreciated.
Good question @jangriffin-fi1yx. I suggest asking your surgeon that question as well. I usually suggest taking the supplements once the patient is off blood thinners (which is usually a week or two) to avoid any interactions that we may know of. I wish you a speedy recovery.🙏
Thank you for advice will be seeing Orthopaedic Surgeon 23/5/24 so will take it up with him. Think personally agree should wait till off aspirin @@restorepluspt
Thank you Reggie. I advise anyone who has 6/8 weeks before TKR to be in training like I did as glad did feel definitely helped with knee extention after op being very good. Train your knee to be operated on beforehand si get inti the swing familiar pose of keepung that leg/knee straight post op. I am always side sleeper all 72 yrs so kept my left leg straight while on sude sleepung by placing pillo next to left leg then rolled over placing tight leg bent on pillow. You practice those weeks beforehand & believe me think best thing to do alround for when have op & post op. Good luck all hope helps & thanks for care/help again Reggie 🌻🌻🌻
You're welcome @jangriffin-fi1yx. Thank you for sharing this. It is really helpful. Studies show the better the knee is before surgery, the better the outcome. So I strongly recommend pre-op physical therapy. I wish you the best. 🙏
Agree I had yrs of having complex knee meniscus tears just as well kept moving love exercises & always will. Last 4/5 mths before op was walking with my Mum's old walking frame 1 hr with dog every morning then as limped around home in/out unless leaning on trolley shopping or Mum's w/frame then could force a straight leg & walk fir 2/3 hrs if wanted to. Then for last 2 mths before surgery had to cease my walks bur could luckily enough ride my bike an hr right up yo day before surgery plus I watch P/T YiuTube & practised post op exercises pre-op as have lots to do. Definitely recommend do keep moving & practice exercises as feel has helped in my recovery. Not giving up 😅 thanks for positive help & comments.
@@jangriffin-fi1yx you're welcome. Happy to help. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this tutorial. I have TKR in 3 weeks. I'm mentally ready...but I'm taking in all this information in the hopes that my recovery is quick.
You're welcome @MistyMaam. Great to hear that you are mentally ready. Doing pre-op exercises will help you with your recovery. Studies show that the better the condition is before surgery, the better the outcome. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck on your surgery. 🙏
I will keep thanking God, i finally got rid of my long term herpes virus disease after suffering from it for years. I'm so excited today that I am cured from it, you can also Get cured from yours totally just like mine because a friend of mine told me there's no cure even my medical doctor told me the same thing but when I contacted Dr kuriama he sent me my medication and immediately I started taking it before to three weeks i was cured totally. All thanks Dr Kuriama .......
I have radial neck fracture and it has minimal displacement my doctor say i dont need surgery and he told me to do flexion and extension ROM first and now i have about 90% of my FLEX AND EXTEND rom but as i noticed every morning i feel stiff but eventually it will be gone when i start stretching is it normal ?
Good question @Lorencedavechatto. Good to see that you have 90% range back. The stiffness in the morning is expected. This is because you don't move your arm while you are sleeping. I suggest doing your stretches in the morning and keep up with it several times a day and it will get lose eventually. I wish you the best.🙏
