Absolutely, exercise has been shown to lead to significant improvements in the following areas:

• 🟡 Can increase level of function pre-surgery

• 🟡 Can help patients to reach increase range of motion post-surgery quicker
• 🟡 Reduces pain pre-surgery while waiting for surgery
• 🟡 Can assist with weight-loss which improves health going into surgery and reducing load on the knee
