Worried About Something? We've Covered It.
- Will I have to wait days for an appointment?
- No — we respond within 15 minutes during clinic hours, and same-day appointments are usually available.
- Do you only treat at the clinic?
- No — this is a home care programme. We visit you anywhere across the areas our Begumpet clinic serves.
- Who will treat me?
- Dr. Manisha Moorjani's team — 18+ years of experience treating post-operative knee replacement care.
- Is this just temporary relief?
- No. We find the root cause first, then treat that — not just the symptom in front of us.
- Will I actually recover?
- Recovery varies by case, so we won't promise a number — but you'll get an honest, regularly reviewed plan, not a vague one.
- What will it cost?
- You'll know the exact cost after your first assessment — no surprise charges, and we explain the plan before you commit.
About Post-Operative Knee Replacement Care
The weeks after a knee replacement are when recovery is won or lost — stiffness that isn't addressed early is far harder to reverse later. Recure's home care physiotherapists bring the same structured, evidence-based rehabilitation protocol used in clinics directly to your home in Hyderabad, starting as early as your surgeon allows. We track your knee's extension and flexion at every visit, so progress is measured, not guessed at, and we report back to your surgeon as needed.
What Causes Post-Operative Knee Replacement Care?
Recovery after a knee replacement follows a fairly predictable pattern, but a few specific factors determine how smoothly it actually goes. The biggest is simply how early and how consistently range-of-motion work starts — stiffness from inflammation and forming scar tissue is far easier to prevent in the first couple of weeks than to reverse later. Reduced quadriceps strength and a natural fear of weight-bearing in the early days both compound the problem if they aren't addressed directly and early.
- Total or partial knee replacement (TKR) surgery
- Severe osteoarthritis requiring joint replacement
- Post-surgical stiffness from inflammation and scar tissue
- Reduced quadriceps strength following surgery
- Fear of movement or weight-bearing in the early weeks
Symptoms
Some swelling, stiffness and a cautious, altered walking pattern are completely normal in the weeks after a knee replacement, and our visits track all of them against the expected timeline. What we're specifically watching for is whether extension and flexion are progressing as expected, since a knee that's falling noticeably behind the typical range by a given week is the clearest early sign that the rehabilitation plan needs adjusting before stiffness sets in further.
- Swelling and stiffness around the surgical site
- Difficulty fully straightening (extension) or bending (flexion) the knee
- Reduced quadriceps strength, affecting standing and walking
- Pain with weight-bearing or stair use
- A cautious, altered walking pattern
How We Treat It
Your rehabilitation follows the same evidence-based milestones used in clinical settings — early range-of-motion work, a structured progression from walker to cane to independent walking, and quadriceps strengthening introduced as soon as it's safe. We measure your knee's extension and flexion at every single visit, so progress is tracked with real numbers rather than a general impression, and that data can be shared directly with your orthopaedic surgeon ahead of your follow-up appointments.
- Progressive range-of-motion exercises for extension and flexion
- Quadriceps and glute strengthening programme
- Walker-to-cane-to-independent gait training
- Scar tissue and soft tissue mobilisation
- Stair and household mobility training
- Swelling management through positioning and exercise
Your Recovery Roadmap
Every case progresses at its own pace, but this is the shape home-care recovery typically takes.
- 1Week 1-2
Acute Healing & Early Mobility
Visits focus on safe transfers, gentle range-of-motion work, and protecting the healing incision while beginning to mobilise with a walker.
- Gentle passive and active-assisted knee movement
- Ankle pumps and isometric exercises for circulation
- Walker gait training and safe transfer technique
- Wound and swelling monitoring at every visit
Safety & Swelling Control
- 2Week 3-4
Extension & Early Strength
A critical window for recovering full knee extension and starting active quadriceps work, so the knee can bear weight confidently.
- Work toward full 0° extension on a flat surface
- Straight leg raises and early quadriceps strengthening
- Progression from walker toward a single stick/cane where appropriate
- Flexion work targeting 90°+ bend
Full Extension
- 3Week 5-8
Independence & Stairs
Focus shifts to the movements that restore daily independence — stairs, uneven ground, and walking without support indoors.
- Step-by-step staircase training, ascending and descending
- Balance and proprioception exercises
- Progression toward walking without a stick, where safe
- Flexion work targeting 110°-120° for daily activities
Functional Mobility
- 4Week 9-12+
Strength & Return to Routine
The final phase builds the endurance and muscular strength needed to return confidently to normal household and social routines.
- Resistance-based strengthening for the hip, knee and ankle
- Longer walking tolerance and outdoor conditioning
- Guidance on resuming driving, travel and routine activities
- A maintenance exercise plan for the family to continue
Long-Term Strength
Why Treat This at Home
No Risky Early Transfers
Avoids painful car rides and clinic stairs in the surgical wound's most vulnerable weeks.
Angle Tracking at Every Visit
Extension and flexion are measured and recorded each session, giving you and your surgeon objective progress data.
Family Caregiver Training
We teach safe bed-to-chair transfers and positioning, so the household can support recovery correctly between visits.
Surgeon-Aligned Protocol
Our rehabilitation milestones follow the same timelines orthopaedic surgeons in Hyderabad expect post-TKR.
