Knee Recovery

Recovery isn't measured by time alone. The calendar tells us where to look — your knee tells us when to move forward.

Two Clocks Are Running

The healing clock

The healing clock. The tissue that was repaired, reconstructed, or reshaped is slowly becoming a working part of your knee again.

The performance clock

Your motion, strength, balance, control, and confidence have to be rebuilt.

The Timeline varies by procedure.
the sequence does not.

Calm the swelling, get the knee straight, wake the quadriceps back up.

1. Settle

Restore full motion, build normal gait, and begin low-impact loading.

2. Restore

 Develop the strength and single-leg control that prepare the knee for impact.

3. Build

Turn that strength into running, power, landing control, and sport-specific ability.

4. Train

Prove readiness, return in stages, and keep the strength that protects the knee long-term. 

5. Protect
