Aftercare

Fit and active again in your daily life

After knee surgery, you’ll start a new stage of your life, with no limitations or knee pain. Rehab is the best way to prepare for your return to your daily routine. Through the professional support of our experts, you can work on making your knee joint mobile again.

We start rehabilitation by conducting a physical examination to establish the current condition of your knee joint after surgery. We also examine your life circumstances in a consultation with you, where you can tell us your specific requirements. We adapt the goal of your rehab to your needs.

This is how individual your therapy plan is:
This includes strength training of the ligaments, tendons and muscles in your knee. Our medical training therapy helps you learn about how mobile your knee replacement is and how much stress it can take. At the same time, you’ll carry out comprehensive muscle training with increasing intensity for correcting posture and misalignment. Bit by bit, you’ll regain your strength, endurance and coordination. You can also perfectly refine your series of movements while walking or moving around with your knee replacement. Then, the time will come to return to your daily or professional life. After rehabilitation at Schoen Clinic, you’ll have found your mobility again. Most of the time, you’ll also be able to keep playing your favourite sports.
