A total knee replacement (TKR) can be life-changing for individuals suffering from chronic knee pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility—often due to arthritis or injury. But surgery is just the beginning. The real transformation happens during the rehabilitation process, where physiotherapy plays a central role in restoring movement, building strength, and helping you get back to the activities you love.
At Physio Healing Hands, we provide expert, personalised care to ensure that every patient receives the support they need to recover fully and confidently after a knee replacement.

We focus on weight distribution, posture correction, and proper walking mechanics.
From walking and driving to climbing stairs or returning to work—we tailor your program to suit your lifestyle goals.
