Recovering well after knee surgery takes a clear, staged plan. The right exercises depend on the procedure and your surgeon's protocol. Here's the general idea.
Follow your surgeon's protocol
Different procedures (ACL, meniscus, knee replacement and others) have different timeframes and precautions. Good rehab works alongside your surgeon's guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How rehab usually progresses
Early on, the focus is regaining movement and getting the muscles working again. From there, rehab gradually rebuilds strength, control and confidence so you can get back to the activities that matter to you.
When to see a physio
A guide can point you in the right direction, but the right exercises depend on your specific injury and stage of recovery. A quick assessment means you're doing the things that will actually help, and not the ones that won't.
