THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍 I had TKR 3 months ago it’s been a hard recovery Before three months, the doctor had to do the manipulation under anesthesia MUA🙁 So your exercises have been very helpful for me Thanks Blessings from Miami, Fl🙏🙋🏻♀️
Thanks so much for this video. Just had TKR two months ago and finding it so difficult when it comes to exercises, but am so impressed and will continue watching more👍
Thanks so much for these videos from Ireland . I find these exercises really helpful in reducing the stiffness in my knee. 5 weeks out now from left TKR and making good progress Thanks again
As a result of osteoarthritis, my left knee and I will part ways on June 14th. I am concerned about the impact I am having on my right knee. It also suffers from osteoarthritis, and I am worried I am asking it to do too much... possibly favoring it over my painful left knee. Is there anything that I can do to ensure that my right knee stays strong before and after surgery? I have been an avid walker...up to 5 miles daily; however, the pain has caused me to cut back on the daily walks. Now I walk 3 miles five days a week. I am also taking up swimming. Thanks for any advice.
I recommend pre-op physical therapy to get educated on a handful of specific exercises you can do for your left knee range of motion and strength going into surgery...and then I would do those exercises on both knees. Also, continue with the walking and swimming as both these activities will provide benefits for both knees and your body in general.
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful because my stride is very unbalanced, I'm soo afraid of falling at my age, 69. Had my TKR eleven months ago and I'm left with neuropathy on my left foot, will it ever give away?
Thank you for watching and commenting.. if you have peripheral neuropathy, typically this does not go away and is managed through medicine and other means. If you have neuropathy caused by sciatica symptoms from the low back, this can often be relieved with certain exercises and time.
I had GCT and got it removed from knee and totally low on confidence to walk again even though its been 4 months im still walking on support. Can i do these exercises? Can you recommend which videos of yours i can walk to move from support to without support
This video can help with the transition from a walker or crutches to a cane: ruclips.net/video/IlXQ3PbE0WQ/видео.html These exercises may be helpful for you but I would double check with your doctor or physical therapist before attempting.
Do you recommend doing this with a stocking foot vs shoe? What type of shoe do you recommend after knee replacement that puts the least amount of stress on your knee and is best for balance? Thank you!
If you are concerned about your balance and stability shoes may be a better option. I don't usually recommend a specific shoe, but closed toed sneakers with a heel and supportive midsole are usually good options. New balance cross trainers work well for some patients I've had, but there are a lot of options out there.
I assume your exaggerated movements are for show not to be copied? I mean the hard leg thrusting etc? Or should it be done slower and more controlled? Coz my legs bl--dy killin
I wanted to emphasize the importance of focusing on the speed and amplitude of your movements. You want to exaggerate in the exercises because when you're walking normally your body will default back to the small slow movements. Understandable, I haven't gone through knee replacement surgery, so after surgery pain and weakness will likely limit how robustly you can do the movements. I recommend performing based on your tolerance and symptom response.. a little bit of increased pain or discomfort is okay but a moderate or worse increase in pain is a sign to back off on the intensity and/or amount you're doing.
@@KneeReplacementTherapists thank you for talking about increasing pain while exercising. I had a partial knee replacement 2 weeks ago and at times when I am exercising it's almost unbearable.
Understandable. When initially try these exercises they may be difficult and you may not get as big a motion, but with practice and as you heal and recover hopefully you’ll see improvements.
You clearly have not ever had knee surgery. Swelling alone would prohibit this movement. Holding onto a handle on the wall would be a lot safer. Knees buckle easy! A fall would not be pretty.
These movements will be difficult especially early on secondary to pain, swelling and range of motion limitations, but you can definitely notice improvements by practicing over time and as you heal and recover. I agree, holding onto a handle or something else for support is prudent if just holding the wall does not offer enough stability. I apologize if I did not offer this advice in the video.
Thanks will try these . I like the walking and swinging my arms . Feel like myself when I do that ! ❤👍😊
Thanks for watching and hope the exercises help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍

Thank you looks good but not so easy when you’re 80
I totally get it, but trying, even though not perfect, and building consistency can go a long way. Best wishes to you!
Halo sir
Hello, thanks for watching!
The first two movements are good when pain is less...but the last one kind of belongs in the Ministry of Silly Walks! A bit too much 😄
Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback!
You obviously had very little idea how painful a swollen knee is like!
Understandable. When initially try these exercises they may be difficult and you may not get as big a motion, but with practice and as you heal and recover hopefully you’ll see improvements.
You clearly have not ever had knee surgery. Swelling alone would prohibit this movement.
