Physical Therapy is a great after a knee replacement. Your surgeon will most likely refer you to a physical therapist as there are certain milestones you will need to achieve to optimize your recovery after surgery.
Yes. Physical therapy after a knee replacement can help with strength and range of motion to promote proper walking after surgery.
I have addressed this issue previously, now copy here as my answer:Question: How long is physical therapy after knee replacement? Knee pain comes from soft tissue injury (muscle/fascia strain) outside the joint but not from the joint itself, even so-called "bone grinding on bone", simply because the joint/bone has no pain sensation. Total knee replacement is not a wise choice of treatment because it is not effective in resolving the injury and the injury with pain, tightness, bulging (not swelling) and weakness remains untreated. It actually adds another surgical injury to the knee. Post-operatively, one only needs to wait for a surgical wound to heal. Yet the original injury must still be treated to recover. To resolve the injury, the only effective way to loosen/release the jammed-up tissue is done internally by the body itself via light touch, i.e., Touch-and-Hold of The Precision Method to initiate self-healing, which takes only 1-2 hours to cure knee pain. No external means are effective, such as medications, injections, hot/cold applications, electrotherapy, massage, manipulation, stretching, strengthening, etc., especially stretching/strengthening should not be applied to any injured muscles because it aggravates and worsens the injury. This is detailed in my book "NO MORE PAIN All Pain Considered - A Breakthrough". Please refer to my website: http://NoMorePainClinic.com.
