“Should I get physical therapy after knee surgery?”

Yes, physical therapy is highly recommended after knee cap surgery. It plays a crucial role in your recovery by helping to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility in your knee. Typically, you can start physical therapy soon after surgery, often within the first week.

Your physical therapist will guide you through a series of exercises designed to strengthen the muscles around your knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings. These exercises will help stabilize your knee and improve your overall function.
