Types of Exercises

Exercise plays a crucial role in recovery and rehabilitation following hip or knee replacement surgery. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, our hip and knee sessions incorporate a variety of exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. These exercises are tailored to each individual's needs and abilities, ensuring a safe and effective recovery process. Here are some common types of exercises that may be included in our program.

  • Balance

    Balance exercises are a critical part of our post-operative sessions. They involve activities designed to improve the patient's ability to maintain equilibrium. Balance is crucial for basic activities such as standing and walking. As individuals recover from hip or knee surgery, these exercises aid in strengthening the muscles that stabilize their joints, reducing the risk of falls, enhancing coordination, and promoting safer mobility.


  • Proprioception

    Proprioceptive exercises aim to enhance an individual's awareness of their body's position and movements. After a hip or knee replacement, patients often face a challenge in relearning how their new joint moves. Improving proprioception helps the brain better communicate with the joint, promoting smoother and more confident movements. This awareness is essential in navigating different terrains and performing more complex activities, ultimately enhancing overall mobility. 

  • Strengthening

    Strengthening exercises in our post-operative sessions are designed to build up the muscles supporting the replaced hip or knee. Strong muscles are crucial in supporting the new joint, relieving strain, optimizing function, and enabling daily activities. Over time, these exercises can also help increase endurance, allowing patients to engage in activities for longer periods without fatigue.

  • Range of Motion

    Range of motion exercises are crucial for regaining flexibility after surgery. These exercises target the joint's ability to move through its full capacity, from fully extended to fully bent positions. By improving the range of motion post-surgery, patients can achieve a more normal gait pattern, avoid joint stiffness, and perform daily tasks more efficiently.
