Online physiotherapy after knee replacement
The weeks after a knee replacement decide how well the new knee will bend, straighten and carry you. Recovery depends on daily exercise, and most of it happens at home. Online sessions give you a physiotherapist watching every repetition, without a painful trip to a clinic in the early weeks. Sessions available in English, Telugu, and Hindi, and you can ask for a female or male physiotherapist.

Why online physiotherapy works for knee replacement rehabilitation
Travelling to a clinic in the first weeks after surgery is painful and tiring, and that is when missed sessions do the most harm
Your physiotherapist sees your home: the height of your bed and chair, your bathroom and your stairs, and coaches you to use them safely
Bend and straightening angles can be estimated on video and tracked session by session, so you can see your progress
A son or daughter in another city or abroad can join the video call and receive progress updates
Many patients start with the hospital physiotherapist or home visits, then continue online once they are home and steady with a walker

What treatment includes
How an online session works
Set up your space
Position your phone or laptop so your physiotherapist can see you move. You need about 2 metres of space.
Live assessment and treatment
Your physiotherapist watches your movement, corrects your form, and guides you through exercises in real time. Each session is 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Progress and adjust
Your physiotherapist tracks your improvement each session and adjusts exercises as you get stronger. You also receive exercises to practice between sessions.
What you need at home
What a typical course looks like
Controlling swelling, straightening the knee fully, getting the thigh muscle working, and walking safely with a walker.
Bending past 90 degrees, building strength, moving to a stick, and stairs.
Walking without an aid, balance, longer walks and getting back to daily activities.
This is a typical outline, not a fixed schedule. Your physiotherapist adjusts it to your progress and your doctor's advice.

Chat With Us on WhatsAppWhen in-person care is better
Contact your surgeon or hospital urgently for a calf that is swollen, painful or red, sudden breathlessness or chest pain, fever, or a wound that is red, hot or leaking. In the first days after surgery, the hospital physiotherapist or a home visit is usually best. Online sessions work well once you are home and can stand with a walker with someone nearby.
