Wall Stretch for Post-Op Knee!

Today I want to show you how to use a wall to help you stretch your knee. This is very helpful for stretching and elevating the knee after a knee surgery.

First you sit next to a wall on the floor or on a bed. Lie down on your back and at the same time put your legs onto the wall. To straighten the knee, use your hands to help push the knee straight. Hold the stretch for as long as you could tolerate. Put the legs down to rest. Repeat for 3 sets. To bend the knee, slide your feet down the wall with the help of gravity. If you could tolerate it, you could even put the other leg’s ankle on top of the leg that you are stretching for a more intense stretch. Hold the stretch for as long as you could tolerate. Put the legs down to rest. Repeat for 3 sets. If you have a hard time straightening your knee, you could check out the video I made on how to use an ankle weight to help straighten the knee: How to use ankle weight to rehab total knee replacement All footages used in this video are obtained from either Storyblocks or original footage.
