Best Low-Impact Exercises After Knee Replacement
After knee replacement surgery, it’s essential to keep pressure on the joint light and controlled. Low-impact exercises help improve circulation, reduce scar tissue, and increase flexibility without risking damage or inflammation. These types of activities also help rebuild muscle strength around the joint to provide better support and function long-term.
For most patients, recovery exercises begin within a few days of surgery under the supervision of a physical therapist. However, continuing movement and progressing it appropriately, at home, is a key part of regaining mobility and independence.
