After a total knee replacement, many patients are surprised at how soon physiotherapy begins, with the focus being specifically on bending and straightening the knee.

Early movement isn’t about pushing too hard or rushing recovery. It’s one of the most important factors influencing long-term comfort, mobility, and confidence after surgery.

In this article, we explain why the first few months after knee replacement are such a critical window for recovery, how early physiotherapy protects the rest of your body, and what patients can realistically expect along the way.

Exercise is often recommended because it benefits both physical and mental health, yet many people feel discouraged by the idea of fitting it into busy lives or thinking they need a gym or special equipment. Movement doesn’t have to look like that.

Physiotherapists are movement specialists who assess how your body moves, understand pain or limitations, and help identify what might be holding you back. In our latest blog, we explore how physiotherapy can support you with realistic, personalised ways to move more, build confidence, manage pain, and make movement feel achievable and sustainable.

Make Movement a Priority in 2026

Exercise is often recommended by clinicians as a powerful tool for healing both the body and the mind. Regular movement can help reduce pain, improve overall function, support better sleep, manage weight, lower stress, and even enhance cognitive function, making daily life feel more manageable and resilient.

Exercise or healing movement is any activity that gets you moving and that you enjoy. From walking, dancing, and swimming to gardening, climbing stairs, or household chores, these activities can be done in short, achievable bursts throughout the day. When movement is enjoyable and realistic, it becomes sustainable and consistency is where true healing happens.

Physiotherapy remains the cornerstone of conservative (non-surgical) management for cervical disc injuries. The goals are threefold: to reduce pain, restore movement, and rebuild confidence in everyday function.
1. Education and Lifestyle Modification
2. Manual Therapy
3. Exercise Therapy
4. Nerve and Mobility Exercises
5. Pain Management and Self-Management
Research suggests that 60–90% of individuals experience meaningful symptom relief through physiotherapy and exercise alone, although recovery may be slower if there is significant disc degeneration (Battié et al., 2019).
