Why You Should Keep Stretching + 5 Exercises To Maintain Your Mobility: Total Knee Replacement 

Today I am at 8 weeks post op and have used many of your tips and exercises! I am 125 on the knee bend and today reached full extension, very pleased with my progress!

Bring a year since my replacement and still do the exercises and go to the gym 4 X a week...it's a process.. Thanks Dr. Samantha

Its 8th days post my right knee replacement your videos are really very helpful thanks alot from India

The Ideal Knee that you have recommended helped me immensely. I am 8 weeks out. I was given 2 weeks to avoid an MUA. I ordered the device, used it and at my appointment today he was very happily surprised. No mua for me. So thank you!

From 6 months post op I have used the Leg Extension machine once a week...of course I do not do a lot of weight ( 4 sets of 10)...I am at 18 months and will continue this exercise as long as I can.

This is right on time! Im coming up on 1 yr post op & was wondering how much longer do i need to keep stretching. I usually try to hit every other day for 15-20 minutes. Especially on days when it feels tight. I’ll try to hit once a day. 👍🏼

Your videos have been really helpful. Eight weeks post surgery. Back in the gym with modifications to some of the exercises.

Dr It is almost 2 years and 8 months since my knee replacement surgery but yet knee stiffness and pain above and under the knee is felt if by standing for more than 15 minutes and quad and glutton muscles pain. Please can you advise doctor. I have issues of neck and shoulder pain too if I walk more..

I am 7 months after bilateral surgery,once in 2or3 days gap I strech, my left is not at all gained strength what's the exercise I should do.

I'm 5 months out, do I need to stretch more than once a day?? Your videos are always helpful!

Im 4 weeks out and doing my Physical Therapy. My surgical incision looks good overall . Is petroleum jelly ok to help the incision heal? Thanks for your help and videos !

Dr Samantha: You Rock! Thank you! 12 weeks PO.

Thank you Samantha , I am 91 days Post Op from a TKR of my left knee , I appreciate your videos and advice, I am coming along nicely!

All good advice for sure however engaging in an active physical lifestyle such as bike riding, and elimination of all sugar, toxins, and ultra processed food will significantly reduce inflammation will enhance your recovery. I am in day 12 of a total left knee replacement and in PT 3 times a week. I am already 114 degrees flex. Riding my bike 20 minutes each day. Use no aids to walk with. My game plan is to get released by my surgeon as soon as possible. I got clearance to drive yesterday. I focused on building up quality leg and calf muscles preop and it’s really paying off.

I am 4 weeks post knee replacement. I am wondering about your longer workout program for a fee. How much for a 4 week cost? Thank you. I love this workout.

I am a little over 2 weeks po and I am doing great with my surgical knee. My problem is I have pain in opposite butt muscle due to shifting all weight to opposite side for so long. How do I get both sides in balance again??

It took me 7 days to lift my leg . I thought it was never going to lift then suddenly it just lifted I couldn’t believe it. Every day something happens it may be a little thing but it a positive. 4 months on something positive still happens. You suddenly do something automatically. Keep doing the exercises. Eli ate and ice if necessary. I do .

When I do a lunge on a box my husband made it’s the height of a stair and I can bend it prob to 130 but when I do it with the chair it doesn’t flex as much but I can sure feel the stretch I can flatten my knee out to zero on the bed. I’m 3 1/2 months post opt on second knee

So glad I found you on youtube! Really great info! And I sure do envy your flexibility!!

Very helpfull

Hi Samantha, I’m now on my seventh week and 4 days, what is best for me at this time. Thanks Joe

Thanks Dr Samantha 👌👌

Good advice thank you

A week after my TKR, I still cannot lift my leg vertically off the bed. If I make a huge effort it might lift by a fraction of an inch but gets agonising pain under the kneecap. Has anyone else experienced this or is something wrong?

Thanks Samanta ,great advice

Thank you Dr. Samatha!
