Recovering quickly from knee surgery requires the right combination of rest, rehab, and smart habits. Here are the top tips for faster knee surgery recovery.
1. Follow Your Surgeon’s Post-Op Instructions - Stick to the medication, wound care, and movement guidelines exactly as told.Attend all follow-up appointments.
2. Start Physiotherapy Early - Begin gentle movements as advised (sometimes within 24–48 hours).Regular physical therapy builds strength and restores flexibility faster.
3. Manage Swelling and Pain Smartly - Ice the knee for 15–20 minutes several times daily.Elevate your leg to reduce swelling.Take prescribed pain meds (or anti-inflammatories) to stay active.
4. Eat Healing Foods - Focus on protein, vitamin C, and zinc to promote tissue repair.Stay hydrated—fluid helps your joints and reduces inflammation.
5. Get Enough Rest - Your body repairs itself while you sleep.Avoid overdoing it too soon—balance activity and rest.
If you want, I can also recommend knee rehab programs or Singapore-based clinics that offer excellent post-surgery physiotherapy.
