Post-Operative Recovery for Hip and Knee Replacement in Stockport and Surrounding Areas

Understanding Post-Operative Recovery

Hip and knee replacement surgeries can be life-changing, providing relief from chronic pain and enhancing mobility. However, recovery requires careful rehabilitation to achieve the best results. After surgery, it’s essential to focus on:

  • Restoring Mobility and Range of Motion: Post-operative stiffness and limited mobility can make everyday movements difficult without the right support.
  • Strengthening Muscles: Building strength around the replaced joint is crucial for stability, reducing strain, and ensuring the body can move comfortably.
  • Minimising Post-Surgical Pain: Effective pain management during recovery allows clients to progress confidently in their rehabilitation.
  • Relearning Safe Movement Techniques: Proper movement techniques are key to preventing injury and promoting healing, allowing clients to return to daily activities with ease.

At SK Home Therapy, we understand the unique challenges of post-operative recovery. Our personalised, in-home sessions are designed to help clients rebuild strength, mobility, and independence in a comfortable, familiar environment.

Key Areas of Focus

Strengthening Muscles Around the Joint: Building strength is essential for stabilising the new joint and improving overall functionality. Our sessions include targeted exercises that strengthen muscles around the hip or knee, offering the stability needed for confident movement.

Restoring Range of Motion: Post-surgery, joints may feel stiff or restricted. We guide clients through gentle, controlled exercises that increase flexibility and restore full range of motion, allowing for more freedom in movement over time.

Pain Management and Relief: Pain is a natural part of the healing process, but it doesn’t have to hinder progress. We incorporate methods to manage and reduce pain, allowing clients to focus on recovery with comfort and ease.

Safe Movement Techniques: Learning to move safely after surgery is essential for preventing injury. We guide clients through safe movement techniques, reducing strain on the replaced joint and enabling them to perform daily activities confidently.

Promoting Independence in Daily Tasks: Our support goes beyond recovery basics. We emphasise functional exercises that help clients regain independence in daily tasks, such as walking, standing, and sitting, preparing them to return to routines comfortably.
