My PT and ortho surgeon have been very supportive of my doing aquatic fitness. I find it has improved/lessened the tightness I felt around my knees (both TKRs) at about 9 months post op. Although I must admit I have not tried the water trampoline, LOL. I hope you continue to improve.

We do lots of running in place and jumping and I was told not do to this even in water because of the impact on my knees. The one time I did go and do the things that I could do without the jumping and running in 20 minutes I was so sore and hurting. Supposedly my surgeon said it will get better over time (I'm at 1 year). Yet PT says to keep exercising but after one session I'm sore for days on end. ROM is really good, extension good just so sore and stiff at times. I'm really confused with all the different answers.
