Overview
When You Need Knee Replacement Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation should begin as soon as your surgeon clears you — often within days of surgery. Early physiotherapy reduces swelling, prevents stiffness, and starts the movement patterns your knee needs to recover well. Many patients referred from AHS surgeons in Calgary start at One Physio soon after discharge. Whether you are 2 weeks or 6 months post-surgery, there is always something targeted we can do to improve your outcome.
Signs You Should Come In
- ✔ Cleared by your surgeon to begin physiotherapy
- ✔ Early recovery — managing swelling and restoring range of motion
- ✔ Mid-recovery — rebuilding quad and glute strength
- ✔ Late recovery — returning to full walking, stairs, and activity
- ✔ Recovery has stalled and you want a second opinion on your program
How It Works
Our Knee Replacement Rehabilitation Process
We assess your current range of motion, swelling, and strength at every phase of recovery. Early sessions focus on reducing swelling, restoring flexion and extension, and activating the muscles around the new joint. As you progress, we add strength training, balance work, and functional movements like stairs and walking on uneven ground. Our kinesiologist, Huzefa, leads the conditioning phase when you are ready for more demanding exercises.

As soon as possible after discharge — ideally within 3 to 7 days. Early physiotherapy reduces stiffness, promotes range of motion, and improves your surgical outcome.
How long does knee replacement rehabilitation take?
Most patients achieve functional independence in 6 to 12 weeks. Full strength and return to activities like walking and stairs may take 3 to 6 months depending on your starting condition.
Do you follow my surgeon's protocol?
Yes. We review your operative notes and follow your surgeon’s specific timeline and restrictions at every phase. We send progress notes to your surgeon at standard check-in points.
Is post-surgical physiotherapy covered by extended health?
Yes. Post-surgical physiotherapy is covered by most extended health plans. We direct bill — call to confirm your coverage.
