Recovering from knee surgery isn’t just about the knee itself.

Many people think,
“Once I get the range of motion and some strength back, I’m good to go.”

But the truth is, your body doesn’t always bounce back that easily.

Here’s what often happens:

1. Your thigh muscle (the quadriceps) shuts down temporarily
Right after surgery, your brain kind of “forgets” how to properly use the muscles at the front of your thigh.

This makes it harder to move well, slows down your recovery, and puts extra stress on other parts of your body — like your hips and back — to pick up the slack.

2. You learn to move in weird ways without realizing it
When your knee isn’t working like it used to, your body finds shortcuts to get you through everyday tasks.

These workarounds become habits.

Even after your knee feels “better,” these habits stick around.

They can throw off how your whole body moves — especially your hips and lower back.

3. Your risk of getting hurt again goes up
If your knee and hips aren’t working together smoothly, it throws off your balance.

This makes it easier to trip, tweak something, or re-injure your knee.

It also increases the chances of developing low back pain later down the line.

4. Most rehab focuses too much on the knee in isolation
Traditional physio helps you regain motion and some strength in the knee.

But it often misses how the whole body is connected.

If your hamstrings, glutes, and core aren’t also retrained properly, your back might end up doing extra work — and that’s where pain can start creeping in.

This is why a full-body approach matters.

In my treatments, I don’t just look at the knee.

I assess how your ankle, hip, and lower back move as a unit.

After surgery, subtle changes in how you move can cause long-term issues elsewhere.

This isn’t a generic rehab plan.

I have a personal and professional focus on post-surgical recovery, shaped by my own knee surgery and the back pain that followed.

My treatments are built to restore full-body coordination, not just to ease pain now, but to keep you moving well for life.
