Knee Flexion After Surgery

Knee Flexion After Surgery

💥After ANY knee surgery, one of the first goal is to regain knee range of motion. While extension (straightening) is by far the MOST IMPORTANT, slowly regaining knee flexion (bending) should be worked on as well.
.
📝There are a TON of different ways to restore knee flexion. One is NOT any more right than another, it’s about finding which one works for you. Usually it’s the one that you are able to relax the most in or that works on stretching your knee is the range you actually need it.
.
❗️We’ll highlight some of the more popular ways to get that knee flexion back❗️
.
● Seated Knee Flexion. This is usually my go to right after surgery, as most people don’t even have 90 degrees of knee flexion yet. You can visible see your knee, and are in full control the bending with your other leg which minimizes any guarding and helps you relax.
● Wall Knee Flexion. Another go to of mine right after surgery because the leg is elevated, it can potentially help with an excessive swelling. You don’t have as much control over the bending here (gravity is doing it), but still a great option.
● Body on Knee Flexion. A great one for people to do at work because it’s so easy to perform in a seated position. When it comes to regaining knee flexion, your VOLUME and time spent stretching at end range is the most important. Make your time at work also your rehab!
● Knee Flexion With Strap. Usually for gaining that last bit of end range of knee flexion. You can use a strap or your hands to apply some gentle overpressure!
