Thanks for watching this week's video! Is this helpful? Comment down below!

[@donnawinberg5667]

yes! very helpful. thank you

[@bettybennett1828]

@restorepluspt...I had a rt tkr. Every time I try bending my knee to sit/ bending it back for rom exercise my hip raises. It's like I can't sit flat now. Why is this happening?

[@lisabartoli4663]

This was so helpful and excellent reminders even if you're not having surgery. Thank you.

[@DianneYoung-p2o]

The simplest example of sitting in a chair after knee surgery and by far the best and most helpful. Works like a charm. Thanks for posting this.

[@restorepluspt]

Thank you @user-gu1lh5kt9y. So happy to help.♥

[@donnawinberg5667]

Thank you. Yes, this is helpful. I also would benefit from learning how to sit comfortably . My surgical leg stiffens and becomes painful after sitting for more than a few minutes

[@restorepluspt]

Great question Donna. That is very common after knee replacement. I suggest moving your leg frequently to counter the stiffness. And switch positions every 15 minutes to avoid getting the stiffness. Hope this also helps. Also, I would like to invite you to join our private facebook group where you can learn a lot more on knee replacements. We will also be having a knee replacement challenge in 2 weeks where I can address more questions. The info will be in the group. Link is in the description.

How to improve the Gait while walking around

[@rochellegordon4017]

I've been doing it incorrectly thank you😊

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @rochellegordon4017!

[@user-zo2ln1en4l]

Thankyou for this recording as I had had my 3rd left knee replacement last april & reconstruction & stem Bars Tibia & fibia as they had crumbled & I had a lot of physio after as it was only bending to 65 degrees I also have undergone a spinal fusion this february in my lower spine I have spinal stenosis & osteoarthritis & fibromyalgia I’m unable to sit criss cross on bed with my legs like this 🧘‍♀️Which I would luv to do again i’m wondering if this will ever be possible with knee replacements as I have both knees replaced & my right hip Im 53 year old lady all this come on as I fell out of a car years ago rolling in air & bouncing on my hip & landing on my knees i’m so glad I have come across your link Thankyou so much this will be so helpful

[@restorepluspt]

I'm so sorry to hear this @user-zo2ln1en4l. You have gone through a lot. I pray for your healing🙏. As per your question if you will be able to sit cross legged, based on the surgeries you had, I am not sure if that will be possible. And even if it is, I would not recommend it to patients with hip and knee replacements. Wish you the best!♥

[@MistyMaam]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have TKR in 3 weeks. I'm mentally ready...but I'm taking in all this information in the hopes that my recovery is quick.

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @MistyMaam. Great to hear that you are mentally ready. Doing pre-op exercises will help you with your recovery. Studies show that the better the condition is before surgery, the better the outcome. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck on your surgery. 🙏

[@rehanaikaram6292]

I will try

[@restorepluspt]

I wish you the best @rehanaikaram6292!🙏

[@PascasiaRweyemamu-ls2yf]

Thank you so much. I had problems in sitting down. Can you suggest how to stand up. God bless you

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @PascasiaRweyemamu-ls2yf. To get up more easily, scoot out of the seat, lean forward and get up from that position. Leaning forward makes it easier to get up. Hope this helps.🙏

[@laurascherr2941]

8:01 Thank you so much for the videos. I am having the replacement this coming Friday I am 67 and live alone. I will have help for one week.I hope that will be enough.?

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @laurascherr2941. Depending on how your body respond to the surgery and how you recover, the length of time for you to be independent varies varies from person to person. I wish the best in your surgery.🙏

[@SWH295]

thanks for teaching

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @SWH295! I hope it helps.

[@asiyahrashid9897]

Thank you very much it will help me i will try from today. I had my knee replacement surgery six months ago i hope it will help me.

[@restorepluspt]

Hope it helps Asiyah!🙏 Let me know how it goes.

[@asiyahrashid9897]

Yes Reggie it is very helpful for me I am doing it regularly God bless you.

[@christinemarshall4557]

My calf is sore to the touch is this normal and behind my knee is swollen still making it painful to bend my knee into 90% position. When I left hospital it was better but my leg has gone huge. Also my ankle swells and is painful. Please could you advise I’ve been told this is normal and everyone heals differently but I’m afraid I’m not improving or going in the right direction, I’m 2weeks post operation getting around on crutches. Thank you C Marshall.

[@restorepluspt]

Dear Christine. I'm sorry to hear this. First thing I will recommend is to call your Surgeon ASAP or go to the ER so they can rule out DVT/blood clot. Based on your stage post-op and from what you described, that is possible. Rule that out immediately as that can be dangerous. If DVT/blood clot is ruled out, the doctor can check what is causing the swelling and pain. Is it cellulitis or something else? The pain on the back of the knee can be bakers cyst if the surgeon did not remove it during the surgery. Wish you the best🙏

[@hluvv7607]

What if you have osteoarthritis in the hip torn labrum on the same side of TKR how can I modify this exercise

[@restorepluspt]

Good question @hluvv7607. One modification I suggest if starting with a high seat so you don't have to squat as low. That will put less pressure on the hips. I recommend strengthening the hip and knee muscles at the same time to address both issues. There are exercises that hit both areas at the same time since they are connected. Hope this helps.🙏

[@kastoorikaranth22]

Thanks a lot

[@restorepluspt]

You're very welcome @kastoorikaranth22!♥

[@asiyahrashid9897]

Hi Reggie I am Asiyah is here I had done my both knee replacement surgery please let me know what is your advice for me thank you very much.

[@restorepluspt]

Hi Asiyah, aside from these exercises, I recommend doing strengthening exercises for your knee and hip muscles especially the quads, glutes and hip abductors. Hope this helps.🙏

[@asiyahrashid9897]

Hi Reggie I am Asiyah is here your advice are very helpful for me me I try to do three times or some times two times I think It is okay for me because I 75years old please tell me what you suggest for me thank you so much God bless you.

[@waheedacassim9737]

I am 11 weeks post op tkr. I can sit down but when I get up it's very painful. I cnt even walk n this is 9 weeks now. Please help me

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @waheedacassim9737. There are a couple of things here. It is important to determine what is causing the pain. Is it inflammation or is there something else? Also having good strength on your quads and gluts max are important in getting up from sitting position. Getting the inflammation down and strengthening those muscles will be a good place to start. I hope this helps.🙏

[@suhandevangamath9538]

Make more videos on quad surgery I mean femur bone surgery

[@restorepluspt]

Thank you for the suggestion @suhandevangamath9538. Will take not of this for the future.

[@reenagohri6995]

how can we stand up after knee replace ment

[@restorepluspt]

Dear Reena, great question. I will be creating a video to answer this and will share the technique that has worked for a lot of my patients. Stay tuned. Subscribe and turn on the notification so you can get alerted when new videos come out.

[@kerryrobinson3782]

You really should explain WHEN you can sit like that. That is, how long after surgery. In the videos you are at or past 90 degrees on both legs at times, and just getting to 90 degrees is not feasible for many people. Are you suggesting people can put their operated knee in that position right after surgery???

[@restorepluspt]

Thank you for the feedback Kerry. There is no specific time frame when people can sit at or past 90 degrees after TKR. Some get it in a week, some in a month. Doing the bending frequently after the surgery helps get the range faster.

[@Leffe49]

@@restorepluspt I would recommend straighten your TKR leg forward a bit, as soon you put your buts back, before sitting
