Why rehabilitation matters

The knee is a load-bearing joint that relies on strength, balance and coordinated muscle control. Surgery temporarily disrupts this system, while repaired ligament, meniscus, cartilage or bone needs time before it can safely tolerate normal demands.

A structured programme guided by an experienced physiotherapist protects healing tissue, restores movement and strength, and prepares the knee for work, recreation or sport. Your individual restrictions and pace of progression depend on the procedure performed.
