A comprehensive guide by the physiotherapy experts at Healthy Jeena Sikho

Recovery after a total knee replacement surgery or stroke can feel overwhelming. Whether you're in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Kharar, or Zirakpur, understanding your rehabilitation journey and having access to expert physiotherapy care makes all the difference in achieving optimal recovery outcomes.

At Healthy Jeena Sikho, our postgraduate physiotherapy doctors Dr. Nancy and Dr. Saarthak have successfully guided hundreds of patients through TKR and stroke rehabilitation using evidence-based protocols and state-of-the-art equipment at our Mohali facility, as well as through our comprehensive at-home physiotherapy services across the tricity region.

Understanding Total Knee Replacement Rehabilitation

What Happens After TKR Surgery?

Total knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged knee joint surfaces with artificial implants. While the surgery addresses the structural problem, physiotherapy is essential for restoring function, mobility, and quality of life. The rehabilitation process typically begins within 24-48 hours after surgery and continues for several months.

The Critical Phases of TKR Recovery

Phase 1: Hospital Phase (Day 1-3) During your hospital stay, gentle movement begins immediately. Our physiotherapy team coordinates with orthopedic surgeons across Chandigarh and Mohali to ensure seamless care transition from hospital to home or our clinic.

Phase 2: Early Recovery (Week 1-6) This crucial period focuses on reducing swelling, managing pain, and restoring basic knee movement. Patients typically achieve 90-degree knee flexion during this phase.

Phase 3: Intermediate Recovery (Week 6-12) Advanced strengthening exercises and functional training take center stage. Patients work toward full knee extension and 120+ degree flexion while building surrounding muscle strength.

Phase 4: Advanced Recovery (Month 3-6) Return to normal daily activities, recreational pursuits, and optimal knee function. This phase emphasizes endurance, balance, and activity-specific training.

Comprehensive Stroke Rehabilitation

Understanding Stroke Recovery

Stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, leading to brain cell damage. The effects vary widely depending on the stroke location and severity, but physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping the brain form new neural pathways and regain lost functions.

Types of Stroke Rehabilitation We Address

Ischemic Stroke Recovery Most common type, caused by blocked blood vessels. Recovery often focuses on regaining motor function, balance, and coordination.

Hemorrhagic Stroke Recovery Caused by bleeding in the brain. Rehabilitation emphasizes gentle, progressive movement and cognitive function recovery.

Mini-Stroke (TIA) Prevention Physiotherapy helps address risk factors and maintains optimal physical function to prevent future incidents.

Stroke Rehabilitation Phases

Acute Phase (Hospital Stay) Early mobilization and basic movement assessment. Our team coordinates with neurologists at hospitals in Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula for smooth care transitions.

Subacute Phase (First 3 Months) Intensive rehabilitation focusing on motor recovery, balance training, and functional improvement. This is often the period of most dramatic recovery.

Chronic Phase (Beyond 3 Months) Long-term maintenance and continued improvement. Many patients continue to see gains well beyond the traditional recovery window with proper physiotherapy.
