Physical Therapy for Total Knee Replacements
Knee Replacement Recovery
Regain Strength, Stability, and Confidence
A new knee should mean new possibilities — less pain, more movement, and getting back to the life you’ve been missing. But without the right rehab, many people stay limited longer than they should.
Stiffness, swelling, and fear of movement are common after surgery — but they don’t have to last. With the right support and a plan built for your body, recovery becomes progress, not frustration.
At Hyphen, we help older adults move beyond the basics of post-op recovery. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy guide you through a focused, strength-based program that not only heals the knee — but strengthens everything around it so you move better than before.
Your recovery plan may include:
Strength training for quads, hamstrings, glutes, and hips
Flexibility and range of motion work for the knee joint
Gait training to restore smooth, confident walking
Balance exercises to reduce fall risk
Manual therapy and dry needling as needed for pain or swelling
Things we treat
Total knee replacement rehab
Partial knee replacement rehab
Post-surgical stiffness or limited range of motion
Muscle weakness and gait dysfunction
Knee instability or balance concerns
Scar tissue or swelling
Difficulty climbing stairs or walking distances
Secondary joint pain (hips, back, ankles)
