New knee/new hip

A new knee or hip can be a major life-changing event and significantly limit your daily activities, both before and after the operation! Perhaps the operation itself wasn’t too bad, but you’re finding it difficult to get moving during your rehabilitation or you’re experiencing a lot of pain. Fortunately, physiotherapy can make a big difference to you!

 

When will you have a hip or knee replacement?

There are various factors that determine when your knee or hip is so worn out that you need a new hip or a new knee:

  • Pain increasing
  • If you are so restricted in your day-to-day activities that it is almost impossible to carry them out
  • Osteoarthritis
  • When other treatments have not achieved the desired effect

If you are experiencing persistent pain in your knee and hip, or if these symptoms keep coming back, FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen is the solution for you! During your first appointment at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, you’ll have a consultation and a thorough examination, and one of our professionals will assess your symptoms. Based on the results, we’ll determine which treatment is best suited to your condition(s). We will then draw up a clear treatment plan together, and you’ll be given some exercises to do at home to get you started.

What can FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen do for you?

Very important is the ''Better in, better out” The principle, therefore, is to optimise and improve your muscle strength as much as possible before the operation. This way, you’ll be much stronger after the operation! We cannot emphasise enough that this is one of the most crucial factors in ensuring a successful recovery after surgery. The fitter and healthier the muscles surrounding the joint to be operated on are, the quicker and better your recovery will be!

 

After the operation, you will notice that the pain you previously experienced has now eased considerably. We will, of course, start at the beginning and first assess what stage of recovery you are at. We will then get to work and put together a personalised exercise programme in consultation with you. You can view this exercise programme at home via our FRISK App or online platform. This means you always have your exercises to hand. Throughout your rehabilitation, we continuously monitor your progress and adjust the programme where necessary. The pace and outcome of your recovery vary from person to person. We tailor the programme to your situation and the advice of your treating doctor.
