Knee Surgery Exercise Videos
These exercise videos have been developed through a unique collaboration between Mr Sam Nahas, consultant orthopaedic knee surgeon, and Blayne Wenlock, an elite personal trainer at Third Space London. Blayne brings extensive expertise with a Bachelor of Health and Movement and specializes in rehabilitation and performance training for athletes and post-surgical patients. This partnership combines surgical precision with world-class movement science, ensuring each exercise is not only anatomically appropriate for your specific knee condition and surgical procedure, but also optimally sequenced and executed for maximum recovery benefit. The integration of Mr Nahas's detailed understanding of surgical healing timelines with Blayne's expertise in biomechanics and progressive loading creates evidence-based rehabilitation protocols that accelerate recovery while protecting your surgical repair.
Important: Always Consult Your Surgeon or Physiotherapist
