Recovering from a knee replacement can feel overwhelming—but the truth is, your outcome isn’t luck. There are five proven factors that can dramatically improve your mobility, reduce your pain, and help you get back to the life you enjoy.

In this episode, I reflect on my more than 21 years experience in physiotherapy private practice working with people over 40 to break down the key principles that make or break a successful knee replacement recovery. 

Whether your surgery is coming up or you’re already in the early stages of rehab, you’ll learn:

  • Why early movement is non-negotiable—and how delaying it can set you back
  • How to use pain medication strategically so you can actually do the exercises that matter
  • The fastest way to rebuild lost strength (and why it disappears so quickly)
  • What most patients overlook about balance training—and why it’s essential for preventing falls
  • The role weight management plays in recovery, and simple, realistic ways to start before surgery

If you want a smoother, faster, and more confident return to walking, stairs, and the activities you love, this episode gives you the exact roadmap.

Press play and set yourself up for a successful recovery.
