I had a total knee replacement 3 weeks ago and your video has help me so much. It’s very hard to do exercises when you’re home alone and there really isn’t a lot of encouragement and when you’re in pain you don’t want to do anything. I plan on working through this with you. Thank you!!!

So nice to have someone to exercise with when you live alone! You have made the difference I needed. Thank you!

I’m 10 days post op from total knee replacement. Yikes the pain. Just found your channel n love it. Will be doing all these. Thank you.

Just came across this short exercise routine. Total knee replacement nearly 4 weeks ago and the exercises given from 1st week by hospital were nearly impossible, overly long and complicated while they tried to cater for everybody, so I was struggling. Your bite sized exercise routine is wonderful. I am on day 3 and it’s getting easier and easier and I am walking much more easily. Thank you so much for your clear instructions, your gentle encouragement. You are a star!

Hi Tim I’ve just had my TKR on the 15/11/22 , and now I been sent home with no exercises , my first visit for physiotherapy is the 6/12/22 so I started to do my own exercises, glad to say I’ve been doing the same exercises that you have Demonstrated in your video, without knowing what to do to get it moving, now I seeing your video, I have a time limit on how many times for each exercise I’m glad that I found the video at least I’m on the right track , keep up your work it’s nice to see people like yourself on RU-vid helping people like me , once again thank you so helpful. Yours Edwin Sutherland .

I had a total right knee replacement 3 weeks ago. It has been one of the most painful operations I have ever had. To add to this I had a total left ankle replacement and left toe fusion at the same time 10 months ago. This was a total different exercise program which interferes with my right knee replacement exercises. Your video has helped me move along. I will admit doing the exercise and pain is overwhelming sometimes. I like your video.I am 71 years old and the stress and pain is incredible but you just have to keep pushing forward. I found your video helpful as there are so many bad ones out there. Thank you so much

I’m into week 3 post op and have just found your channel. I have been doing the exercises but getting through them with a ‘personal trainer’ is so much better!! Thankyou!!

I’m at 4 weeks, it was easier to workout watching you do the exercises right along side me. Thank you

Hi Tim! So I had a TKR on 4/19/22. Following surgery, the pain meds could not be adjusted, as I was getting sick and very lightheaded where I couldn’t participate in any form of therapy while still in the hospital. I was transferred to a rehab facility where little to no P/T took place, not even while lying down in bed. I developed my first bout of diverticulitis while in rehab, so was given IV therapy for a week, and again, little to no P/T was done. I was released from rehab, still with diverticulitis symptoms and about a week later, was rushed to the hospital with either a continued bout or 2nd bout of diverticulitis. Until it fully cleared up, I could not participate in any other form of P/T other than “home” therapy where the therapist stayed with me for like 5 mins and did hardly anything. I began outpatient therapy on 6/16, (a long way off from the surgical date) and went 2x/week until covid hit me on 7/12. My therapist asked me if I had access to a pool and with research, I found an aquatic facility that took my insurance, and I’ve taken 5 sessions so far. My insurance approved me for 5 more visits with more pending, but they won’t approve both “land” and pool therapy at the same time. So, I’m going to continue with aquatics, my surgeon approved it with my commitment to continue with home exercises. Enter Tim Fraticelli! I love doing your exercises at home, I’ve combined it with the MedBridge Go program my last therapist sent me and I’m hoping beyond hope that I will soon begin to heal, walk, and be without pain. I know this has been a long saga, but any additional help/videos you can lead me to, would be greatly and is much needed. Thank you for all you do!

I’m at 6 weeks, and have been doing all of these, but frankly, you doing them with us is incredibly helpful. Thank you !!

Wow, this is extremely helpful. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since my total knee replacement and the visual instruction you provide is straightforward, educational and therapeutic. It validates the how to do of this exercises that I received in paper form, watching along with you has helped tremendously! Than you for such insight, it is greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Only 9 days out and I needed a boost. So helpful following along with you, thank you!!

Excellent set of Exercises. Easy to follow & well demonstrated.

I had TKR 3 weeks ago. These are a a better discription of the exercises then I’ve gotten from my pt and are stimulating to do they 20 times a day with someone. This is a tremendously helpful series. My deepest thanks.

I just had a full knee replacement in January. I really like your 10 minute video of exercises for after knee replacement. I find it very safe and easy to do. Could you make a video for three months or longer after the surgery? Thanks Tim for this video!!!!!!

Thanks for putting this video together-I am 3 weeks post TKA and am using this in addition to my PT sessions. It is helpful to have someone to follow along with. Thanks again!

I'm 1 week out from surgery. And just found your channel 1/2 hour ago. I have a PT coming to my house but he's filling out paperwork, rushing me through the exercises and then he's gone. I appreciate your encouragement and explanations. Thanks Tim

So happy to have found your videos as others have said much easier to do with someone to watch … ten days out from my second knee replacement so gonna work harder with this one to get to 110° faster end goal 120° 👍🏼👍🏼🤞🏼

Very helpful, just going to have right knee replacement next Monday. I will certainly follow your exercise regime along with the one prescribed by my physiotherapists.

This video is great for me after 2 weeks had knee surgery, thank you so much ❤️❤️

Hi, I've just come across your video, it's been 3 weeks since I've had my revision surgery for total knee replacement, I'm sure it's worse second time around, just want to thank you for showing how to do the exercises properly,l shall certainly be following up on any future videos you do.

Thank you 🥲 I had a TKR in 2015. 3 days ago I sat on floor going through some papers packed away. While I didn't feel like I was exerting my TKR knee, I was in that position leg stretched out for quite awhile. Once I got up, I felt nothing. The next day I couldn't even walk. My knee hurt too bad to bend backward or forward 😢 it feel like when I had the surgery. I couldn't remember what exercises I had done. I found your channel and thanks to your exercises, I am getting back my range of motion and movement again. Still hurts a little but pain is lessening. I don't know what I did that hurt my leg after all of this time but your channel is helping. These were the exercises I had to do in 2015 but couldn't remember. Thank you so much.

I just had total knee replacement on both knees at the same time and it is awesome to have you walk me through these exercises. Thanking you in advance for your help and kind consideration in this very important matter.

The one I just had done was a revision, I'm rocking it at pt. They couldn't believe how fast I did things the day after surgery. I enjoy doing these exercises.

I am 12 days out from having had a TKR. This video is so helpful, as it makes it very much easier doing these exercises with you. I am now doing them 4 times a day and see daily improvements.Thank you so much. Would like details of the follow on video.

Right knee done in February and the left knee 25 July. Exercises same as my doc/PT prescribed. I am doing a number of exercises additional to what you are showing. Nice to do the exercises with you. (From South Africa)

Tim, thank you very much for taking the time to do that. It is a fantastic encouragement for the days between physical rehab. I do these twice each day 👍…. Thanks again. I have certainly subscribed.

Thanks for this advice, great doing the exercises with a PT. Very motivational

I 70 yr old woman, had a total knee replacement on July 24th Doing my PT, I’ve had him at my home 2 times since I’m out of hospital, starting new week tomm Monday, for 3x’s a week, I’m doing ok . Pain is not terrible, I do feel stiffness when I get up in morning but I do my ankle pumps and knee slides in bed whatever I can do lying down. Then proceed with the standing exercises. Had a bit of swelling yesterday and today not too much, I’ve been elevating my leg and icing it when resting feels better. I’ll be seeing PT Tommorrow morning. He will evaluate it. I feel I’m going ok course we want things to happen sooner but this is a process each day, each week. Lots of patience. Good luck yo all that are going through this surgury and process too.

thanks so much its a good exercise video and helps motivate me with small results adding up one day at a time!

I had my left knee replacement one month back.your vedio is very helpful .

Love these exercises and how well you explain how to do them and what they are for. I had my second knee replacement 6 weeks ago and can incorporate these exercises into my current program. You are a delightful young man.

This is a real video thanks

Much helpful for me❤

Hi Tim. I have found your 10minute workout really helpful. I am 4weeks post total knee op and need to progress. Can’t seem to find your follow on routine. Have/will you do one? Many thanks Tim.

Thank you. I have been using this video as I am just over a week post op. I look forward to doing them with you. It brilliant. I am in South Australia

Thank you

THANK YOU 😊

Thank you!!!! Great. I’m pre surgery 😊

Hi Tim I had a total knee replacement two weeks ago after having a high tibia osteotomy 12 years ago Working through these exercises with you has been wonderfully motivational, I saw my hospital physio today and she was mega impressed , im already walking without any canes or crutches and am doing one mile walks everyday All this is down to following your on line exercises, well done you have helped me enormously

Hi again Dr Tim, PLEASE add some more TKR exercises 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I ĺoved this thanks for ur help

Thanks! i had my partial knee replacement last week and am using these exercises three times a day to work te knee. i have the idea that the bandage on the knee prevents easy stretching as it is tightly attached to the skin and therefore does not easily give in when stretching the knee. Other than that, all is well. thanks for this clip!

Great video, 6 days post, yesterday was the worst day ever. no pain just swollen and no motion.

Fantastic video extremely helpful and with you doing the pt with your followers is why I enjoyed your video - I'm 4 weeks po and on road to full recovery but my pt just seem to push me a little to hard and I'm down the next day. You video allows me to still do the full pt workout at more my own pace to strengthen my knee and I can pause you too work my other knee too since it is being replaced in a few months. Which when I go to therapy they will only concertatre on the one surgery knee and my other knee is buckling. So now I have the best of work outs fir both my knees in the convience of my own home.. Overall thank you think you and your videos are amazing......keep us the good work - you are highly appreciated

I just get my knee surgery thanks for sharing I'll do all this thanks ❤

Just found your channel ,I am 3weeks post op and wish I had found it after op . Excellent video ,so helpful yo do exercises alongside you

Thanks so much, Tim. I'm doing my pre-hab, 6 weeks out from TKR surgery date and I love that you gave us this set of exercises in real time and so nice to have some company! I'll be using these up to date of surgery and well beyond.

I'm heading into my 4th week post surgery, full replacement. You do a few additional things to what I have learned. I like the additional pull with towel to increase flexion. I'm a 77 yr. old gay male and your youthful voice and personality are refreshing. I'm aiming for a full recovery because I have a brother who, despite an additional surgery still has pain. Another much older friend had the same experience, though I don't think he was in great shape before the surgery. It was getting very difficult to walk before the surgery and now I can carefully walk without the cane, though I carry it nearby. Thanks for the shared video. I will use this again.

I am 1 week out from right total knee replacement. I want to thank you for making this PT video. This is actually what I was looking for. What diameter is that roll? Thanks again for your help.

I did all those exercises with my inhome PT…these quickend my recovery…

Excellent and well explained excersises I had my surgery on 02-16-23 and I’m doing good so far now I can add those to schedule and keep going. Thanks so much.Blessings.

Thank you....💞

Thanks

well done - those area what my PT had me doing starting on my 2nd day after surgery

I like to do exercises with your video for my knee replacement you make it fun /

Well, I feel like we are in a little group here. I have had both hips replaced 4 years apart, and now I've gone through a right knee replacement as well about 1 month ago. These exercises are very important. We all go through those times when we aren't in the mood, hurting at the time, and / or are too stiff to motivate yourself to do the exercises at home. Especially when you are alone with nobody to hold you accountable. Please trust an old veteran of joint replacements. The reason you are feeling stiff has something to do with the scar tissue in the surgical area. Most of these initial exercises help break up the scar tissue and allow for better movement and restoring your flexibility. "Motion is lotion," a nurse once told me... Gotta allow yourself the time and encouragement to get these done on a fairly consistent basis. It will not be the most pleasant part of your day, but I would like to reassure you that it will benefit you considerably more if you are loyal to these exercises. Good luck and a speedy recovery...
