What to expect
Progress beyond the early milestones
Post-operative rehabilitation should respond to the procedure, surgical guidance, current presentation and personal goals. Active Base establishes a relevant starting point, builds capacity progressively and reassesses meaningful milestones over time.
Treatment may support symptoms and movement early on, but the longer-term focus is restoring the strength, mobility, conditioning and task capacity required for daily life, work or recreation.
- Individual assessment after surgery
- Progressive mobility and strengthening
- Home-based functional rehabilitation

Common questions
What to know
When should physiotherapy start after a knee replacement?
Timing depends on surgical guidance, discharge planning and the individual presentation. Early rehabilitation is common, but your surgeon’s instructions and any precautions should guide commencement.
Can post-operative physiotherapy happen at home?
Yes, where clinically appropriate and within the service area. Mobile care can be especially useful during early recovery when travel is difficult.
