Print on Demand

After a knee replacement, you may want to get back on your feet. Follow these tips when you’re ready to exercise again:

•  Ask your doctor before you try any new exercise.

•  Continue to do the exercises your doctor or physical therapist prescribed.

•  Consider swimming, biking and walking, as they’re easy on the knees.

•  Limit or avoid high-impact exercise like running, skiing or racquetball.
