Knee Replacement Stuck at 110 ROM

@ellerbrack I am starting to use the "mental" approach to trying to walk normal too. MY PT got me to 118 ROM yesterday and told me that it tells them and my OS (they send him reports) that there is no problem or scar tissue preventing me from getting there, it's just pain. With reduction of pain and swelling, plus continued exercise, I'll gain ROM. I am at 2 for extension and continuing exercise but walk like a pirate. I'm going to try your approach.

Hating to sound like a broken record, or ad for a spa: get yourself into a pool membership, if you have access. Makes the exercises easiier, less painful, and at this point you would be right there participating either in classes, or doing your own thing. Big bragging: I just moved up to 70 10-Meter laps in an indoor pool... getting close to 1/2 mile. (TKR 09/13).
And yes, go ahead and just try whatever helps. Not sure how old your are, but when I was working age, there was a song called Quanta na Mera (Spelling), that I run in my mind when I walk.. No particular reason, but it works.
