Whether you’ve undergone a total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, or another type of knee surgery, rehabilitation after knee surgery is crucial for restoring normal function and preventing further complications. At Twin Boro Physical Therapy in North Brunswick, NJ, we specialize in helping patients regain their strength, mobility, and confidence. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based techniques to create personalized treatment plans that address each patient’s needs and goals.
The Importance of Early Intervention
Starting physical therapy soon after knee surgery is essential for optimal recovery. Early intervention helps reduce pain and swelling, improve range of motion, and prevent scar tissue formation. At Twin Boro, we begin with gentle exercises and gradually progress to more challenging activities as your strength and mobility improve. Therapists work closely with your surgeon to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive rehabilitation plan.
Customized Treatment Plans
Every patient’s recovery journey differs, so we emphasize personalized treatment plans. During your initial evaluation, Twin Boro physical therapists will assess your current condition, discuss your surgical history, and set achievable goals. We use this information to design a customized rehabilitation program that includes:
- Pain Management: Techniques such as manual therapy, ice, and electrical stimulation to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
- Range of Motion Exercises: Gentle stretching and movement exercises to restore flexibility and joint mobility.
- Strengthening Exercises: Progressive resistance training to rebuild muscle strength and support the knee joint.
- Balance and Proprioception Training: Exercises to improve stability and coordination, reducing the risk of future injuries.
- Functional Training: Activities that mimic daily and recreational tasks to ensure a smooth transition back to everyday life.

- Cryotherapy: Cold therapy to reduce pain and swelling post-surgery.
- Therapeutic Ultrasound: Deep heating modalities to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
