Total Knee Replacement Exercises - 10 Minute Complete Workout

In this video I'll do an entire round of total knee replacement exercises that are generally appropriate for someone 1-2 weeks out of a total knee replacement. Just hit the play button and go through the exercises with me as long as you've cleared it with your physician and they approve of these exercises.

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!

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 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 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

[joncase]

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

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.

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

[barrybebbington]

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

[seamusdeiseach]

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

[taiwankima]

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

[armandovaldez]

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 🙏🙏🙏

[timothywalker]

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.

[rpulker]

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.

[derekcolgan]

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.

[antondekock]
