Congratulations! You’re now part of the “New Knee Club”! We 🏋️‍♀️ will be your guiding light through the maze of knee recovery. We will help you get back on your feet, one step at a time.

Pain management: Don’t worry, we have some tricks up our sleeve to help manage pain. Ice therapy will be your new best friends, soothing your knee as you heal.

Range of motion exercises: Get ready to feel like a knee-flexibility guru! 🧘‍♂️ We will guide you through exercises to gently increase your knee’s range of motion. Soon enough, you’ll be bending and straightening like a pro.

Strengthening exercises: Say hello to leg day, every day! 💪 We will design a program to target your knee, hip and core muscles. You’ll work those muscles until they’re strong enough to kick aside any doubts about your knee’s capabilities.

Balance and coordination training: Find your inner tightrope walker 🤹‍♂️ as you navigate different surfaces and master the art of stability. We will help you improve your balance and coordination, ensuring you can confidently walk on various terrains.

Gait training: Walk tall and proud! 🚶‍♀️ As your therapist we will fine-tune your walking technique, ensuring your gait is smooth and natural. Before you know it, you’ll be striding with confidence, leaving any hints of a limp behind.

Education and home exercise program: Knowledge is power! 📚 We will educate you on proper body mechanics and joint protection techniques. We will provide you with a customized home exercise program 🏡 to keep you on track when you’re not in the clinic.
