When to book an appointment
- Getting around at home after discharge
- Discussing knee movement and strength goals
- Planning a return to everyday activities such as walking and using stairs
What to expect at your first visit
Talk through your concerns, how they affect your daily activities and what you want to get back to.
Bring your discharge summary, your surgeon’s instructions, your current exercise plan and any walking aid you use. Your physiotherapist can discuss your mobility goals and review the instructions from your surgical team.
Can I ask about a home visit after knee replacement?
Yes. Tell the clinic where you live and what help you need. The team can confirm whether a clinic appointment or a home visit is available.
