Knee Replacement Rehab in Ulladulla – Exercise Physiology for a Safer, Stronger Recovery

By Eurobodalla Health and Fitness – Supporting Movement for Life

A New Knee… Now What?

A total knee replacement (TKR) can reduce pain and improve movement—but surgery is only step one. The real progress happens in rehab.

At Eurobodalla Health & Fitness Ulladulla, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists guide you through evidence-based, personalised recovery so you can walk, climb stairs, and live confidently again.

Why Rehab Matters

Without structured rehab, many people struggle with:

• Stiffness and swelling
• Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
• Muscle weakness and balance issues

• Fear of moving “wrong”

Rehabilitation restores strength, control and confidence—safely.

How We Help (Step by Step)

 

Stage	Focus	What We Do
Prehabilitation (before surgery)	Prepare	Strengthen key muscles, improve mobility, educate you for a smoother recovery
Early Recovery	Protect & move	Manage swelling, regain range of motion, teach safe movement patterns
Strength & Stability	Build capacity	Progressive loading for quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves
Functional Training	Return to life tasks	Practice stairs, balance, getting up/down, and real-world movements
Return to Activity	Live fully	Support walking goals, hobbies, work tasks—whatever matters to you

Why Individualised Exercise Works Best

Every knee—and every person—is different. We don’t hand out generic sheets. We:

• Supervise sessions in a welcoming, private clinic
• Design exercises around your goals and limitations
• Lower the risk of post-surgical setbacks
• Keep you motivated, educated and progressing
• Build long-term joint strength and mobility

Myths vs Facts

Myth	Fact
“I just need rest after surgery.”	Guided movement (not bed rest) drives better recovery.
“Walking alone is enough.”	Walking helps, but targeted strengthening rebuilds function.
“Hospital physio covered it.”	That’s the start. Community rehab is the crucial next phase.
“I’m too old to get strong.”	You’re never too old to improve—strength gains happen at any age.

Funding Options We Accept

• Medicare EPC (with GP referral)
• My Aged Care
• DVA (Veterans’ Affairs)
• NDIS (self- or plan-managed)
• WorkCover & CTP
• Private health insurance
