THE SURGERY IS OVER. NOW WHAT?

Getting a New Knee Is One Step. Learning to Use It Is the Next.

The first days and weeks after knee replacement can make ordinary activities feel anything but ordinary. Getting out of a chair may take effort. Walking may feel unfamiliar. Your knee may feel stiff. Stairs may suddenly require planning. Your leg may not yet have the strength or confidence it had before. Rehabilitation is where we begin working on those things. At Atom Physical Therapy, the goal is not simply to exercise your knee. It is to help you progressively rebuild the movement, strength, control, and function you need for life after surgery.

What Do We Work On After Knee Replacement?

Treatment progresses according to your individual recovery, physical therapy findings, and the precautions or instructions provided by your surgical team.
01

Knee Mobility

Work on the knee movement needed for activities such as standing, sitting, walking, stairs, and normal daily mobility.
02

Leg Strength

Progressively rebuild strength after surgery and the period of reduced activity that often surrounds it.
03

Walking

Work toward safer, more efficient walking as your mobility, strength, balance, and confidence improve.
04

Stairs & Transfers

Address the physical demands of stairs, getting out of a chair, getting into and out of bed, and other everyday transitions.
05

Balance & Control

Improve lower-extremity control and confidence as you become more active during recovery.
06

Everyday Function

Connect rehabilitation to the activities you need to perform at home, in the community, at work, and in daily life.
HOW REHABILITATION PROGRESSES

Building Forward From Where You Are Today

Knee replacement rehabilitation is a progression. Treatment changes as your mobility, strength, control, and functional abilities change.
STEP 1

Evaluate

We begin by assessing your current mobility, strength, walking, functional limitations, and stage of recovery.
STEP 2

Establish the Plan

Treatment is built around the evaluation and any relevant precautions, restrictions, or rehabilitation guidance from your surgeon.
STEP 3

Progress

Exercises and functional activities progress as your knee, leg, and overall mobility are ready for greater demands.
STEP 4

Rebuild Function

Rehabilitation increasingly focuses on the walking, stairs, household activities, community mobility, and other tasks you want to regain.
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING TOWARD?

The Goal Is Not Just a Better Knee. It Is Getting Back to Your Life.

Your reason for having knee replacement surgery was probably not to achieve a particular number on a strength test. You may want to walk through the neighborhood again. Manage the stairs in your home. Go shopping without worrying about how far you have to walk. Return to work. Travel. Exercise. Spend time with your family. Or simply move through your day with more confidence. Those are the goals that give rehabilitation a purpose.
REHABILITATION WITH A PURPOSE Strength. Mobility. Function. Life.
