Our home visit physiotherapy service brings expert TKR rehabilitation to your door. **Category:** Home Care | **Date:** Jun 1, 2026 | **Author:** Dr. Vaishali Suri (P.T.) | **Read time:** 5 min read --- ## Physiotherapy After Knee Replacement: Home Visits in Faridabad Knee replacement surgery is one of the most successful elective orthopaedic procedures, with over 150,000 total knee arthroplasties performed in India annually. But surgery is only half the story — the outcome you achieve depends almost entirely on your post-operative physiotherapy. Early, structured rehabilitation restores range of motion, rebuilds quadriceps strength, and enables you to return to daily activities within 6–12 weeks. For many patients in Faridabad, home visit physiotherapy makes this process safer and more convenient. At **Realign Rehab Clinic**, NIT-5, Faridabad, our team of expert physiotherapists provides evidence-based, personalised rehabilitation. We serve patients from NIT, Green Field Colony, Ballabhgarh, Sector 21–82, and surrounding areas. Call **+91 9818185589** to book your assessment. > **Research Insight:** A 2023 Cochrane review found that home-based physiotherapy following knee replacement produces equivalent functional outcomes to clinic-based rehabilitation at 6 and 12 months, with higher patient satisfaction and reduced burden of travel — particularly important for elderly patients. ## Causes and Risk Factors - End-stage knee osteoarthritis causing severe pain and functional limitation - Post-traumatic arthritis following fractures or ligament injuries - Rheumatoid arthritis destroying the knee joint - Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) of the femoral condyles - Failed previous knee surgery with ongoing instability or pain ## Signs and Symptoms - Post-operative swelling and stiffness of the knee - Weakness of the quadriceps and hamstrings following anaesthesia and surgery - Difficulty bending the knee to 90° (required to climb stairs) - Gait deviations — limping, shortened stride, or poor weight-bearing - Scar tissue formation limiting mobility if physio is delayed - Risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if mobilisation is inadequate > The patients who do best after knee replacement are the ones who start physiotherapy within 24 hours of surgery and stick to their home exercise programme between sessions. Range of motion is much harder to recover after the 6-week window — so we emphasise getting started immediately. *— Dr. Vaishali Suri (BPT), Realign Rehab Clinic, Faridabad* - ✦ Total knee replacement has a 95% satisfaction rate at 10 years when combined with proper rehabilitation - ✦ Patients who receive physiotherapy within 24 hours of surgery have 40% better range of motion at 6 weeks - ✦ Home-visit physiotherapy is equally effective as clinic-based rehab for post-TKR patients - ✦ Delayed physiotherapy beyond 2 weeks significantly increases risk of permanent stiffness ## Physiotherapy Treatment at Realign Rehab, Faridabad - Day 1–3 post-op: bed exercises, ankle pumps, static quadriceps, and assisted standing - Week 1–2: walking practice with zimmer frame/crutches, knee flexion exercises to 90° - Week 2–6: progressive knee flexion to 120°+, stair training, and gentle cycling - Week 6–12: advanced strengthening (leg press, step-ups), gait normalisation - Scar soft tissue therapy and oedema management (compression, elevation, ice) - Electrotherapy (NMES/EMS) for quadriceps re-activation post-surgery - DVT prevention: calf pumps, early mobilisation, compression stockings guidance - Home exercise programme updated at each visit ## Recovery Programme **Phase 1 — Pain Relief (Weeks 1–3):** Manual therapy, electrotherapy (TENS/ultrasound), and gentle range-of-motion exercises to reduce inflammation and restore baseline function. **Phase 2 — Strengthening (Weeks 3–8):** Progressive resistance training, neuromuscular re-education, and postural correction to rebuild strength and stability. **Phase 3 — Return to Activity (Weeks 8–16):** Sport- or task-specific drills, proprioception training, and a personalised home programme to prevent recurrence. ## Why Choose Realign Rehab Clinic, Faridabad?

Physiotherapy should begin within 24–48 hours of surgery, starting with bed exercises and progressing to standing and walking. Early mobilisation prevents stiffness, reduces DVT risk, and produces significantly better long-term outcomes. ### How many physiotherapy sessions do I need after knee replacement? Typically 16–24 sessions over 3–6 months, with decreasing frequency as you progress. The first 6 weeks are the most intensive (3× per week), tapering to once weekly as you approach full function. ### How long until I can walk normally after knee replacement? Most patients walk without aids at 6–12 weeks. Full gait normalisation typically takes 3–6 months. Our physiotherapist will guide your progression based on your individual recovery. ### Do you offer home visits for knee replacement physio in Faridabad?
