Hi @madz1979, The best thing you can do to help your knee replacement is to do the pre-surgery and post-surgery knee and leg exercises. It will make the recovery much easier. Has your surgeon given you any exercises to focus on before the knee replacement?

I agree completely about doing all the exercises before surgery and after. I also did stretching and “bed” yoga to improve my ROM and strength. The yoga really made a difference. After surgery the heel slides were horrendous for the first 2 weeks, but I forced myself to do them. So glad I did because it is paying off.
