Total Knee Replacement Exercise

The purpose of any warm-up and/or exercise program is to improve performance and help prevent serious injuries. There is a well-established pattern of increased serious knee injuries (including ACL ruptures) in women compared to men.

The longevity of your knee replacement can be increased by:

running

Health Tip

The constipation can be eased by taking plenty of water, a fibre rich diet and bulk forming laxatives. Daily exercise can also regulate the bowel movement. Stress is a large causative component in chronic constipation.
