Can you still improve knee range of motion six months after a knee replacement?

Yes. With consistent rehab and targeted strategies (such as low-load long-duration stretching), many people gain additional degrees of flexion and extension months after surgery—especially when the underlying mechanical cause is identified by a qualified physiotherapist.

How much knee bend (flexion) do I need for daily activities?

About 60–70° to walk normally, ~90° to sit in a chair, ~105° to get in and out of a car, and ~115–120° to climb stairs or crouch.

What is a low-load long-duration (LLLD) stretch?

A gentle, sustained stretch held for minutes rather than seconds to encourage tissue remodeling without flaring pain or swelling (for example, heel propped with gravity assisting knee extension).

When should I see a McKenzie physiotherapist?

If progress has stalled, a McKenzie-trained physio can determine whether stiffness is driven by scar tissue, joint mechanics, or muscle inhibition and then prescribe the most effective, individualized plan.

Do you offer a free discovery visit in Mississauga?

Yes. MUV Therapy offers a complimentary discovery visit to discuss your goals, screen your movement, and outline next steps for regaining range of motion.
