Knee Rehabilitation Programme

Our Knee Rehabilitation Programme aims to restore the range of movement, strength and control of your knee joint.

Although there is no guarantee that your pain will completely disappear, the programme should help you to regain confidence in your knee and help you to self-manage your knee condition in the future. 

Early-stage rehabilitation aims to optimise your recovery in the early days after an injury, operation or an acute flare up of your knee condition. The intermediate stage encourages you to build strength and control in the knee muscles with some higher-level strengthening advice and exercises.

The late stage is designed to help you return to your chosen sport or activity. It starts with jogging drills, and steadily prepares the knee to deal with the demands of higher-level sport or activity.

The programme can be tailored to your individual needs and not all these sections will be appropriate for you at your stage of rehabilitation. Please check with your physiotherapist if you are unsure about your readiness to start any of these exercises.
