Thank you for these great options. One month post knee replacement surgery. All going great, but was looking for ways to reduce swelling and pain through massage that I can do myself. My therapist massages, I just want to do at home too. Haven’t tried the ball yet, but the dowel and hand suggestions really helped!

Hearty Thanks ❤ for Massaage techniques ........... But please informe me also that Can i apply these massages 2 years after Total knee replacement for get rid of Stiffness in my knees ...........

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

Yes, these massage techniques can be used at 2 years after knee replacement surgery.

[@TomDiefenbacher]

Heat or ice when done?

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

Really, whichever feels better... most people will use heat again to help relax muscles, promote blood flow and pain relief...but ice is okay too if you prefer.

[@saradigota7201]

Is a foot massage aloud after knee replacement?

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

Unless your doctor instructs you otherwise, there should be no reason you can't have a foot massage after knee replacement surgery. If you are considering going to a nail salon for a pedicure or manicure, it is appropriate to wait a few weeks after surgery as there is a small risk of bleeding and potentially causing an infection.

[@saradigota7201]

@KneeReplacementTherapists thanx for ur message. Its been 1 year after knee surgery now.

[@birmansunny9706]

I’m 1/2 way into video and haven’t heard you say how long after op you start doing this? Did I miss it?

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

There is no set time after surgery. Most people are able to start doing these activities within a few days after surgery. Often you may have to start at a lower intensity (not push as hard) and work into it as your body tolerates.

[@erikolsen4137]

Is there any danger starting a few days after surgery due to risk of blood clots? Also how early do you believe one can use moist chest? I am day 4 and having terrible spasms in my thigh.

@@KneeReplacementTherapists I'm sorry, I had surgery Tuesday and I had an attack of urticaria the next day, so I'm on my 4th day of prednisone and I feel cruddy. I didn't need to be rude.
