After a successfully survived knee surgery, you probably want to get into training as quickly and intensively as possible. The Balance Pad after knee surgery allows you to strengthen your knees with a lot of uncertainty in the joints.

Accordingly, the Balance Pad is perfect for rebuilding the necessary stability in the joint, but not at every stage. What you have to pay attention to and how you can ideally use the Balance Pad after knee surgery, you can find out here.



These are the consequences of knee surgery, and that's why the Balance Pad is perfect

It isnot only the knee that is affected as a result of surgery. Even if the operation goes well and you recover quickly, the muscles in your leg will suffer from severe atrophy. The muscle degeneration is very fast, especially in the muscles of your legs you will see frightening differences within a few days, when you can't use them at all.

So it's important that you get back into training calmly and relaxed, but at the same time work diligently to have stronger muscles and joints after rehab than before.

For the muscles, a gentle workout is recommended at first, simple exercises without weight, moderate walking or gentle cycling on the ergometer. The leg muscles also build up again quickly, so don't worry. However, watch out for pain.

More demanding is the follow-up training with the resistance band and the balance pad. On the latter you perform simple exercises like squats or deadlifts, but the swaying of your legs makes every muscle and joint work together. This is a lot of stress on your body even under optimal circumstances, so be sure to watch for pain and consult with your treating physician or physical therapist.

Even standing on the Balance Pad is challenging at first, so slowly feel your way to the limit of your knee.

Basically, though, a balance pad is one of the best pieces of equipment you can use after knee surgery. Because the compensation work your body has to do strengthens deep muscles and joints. This is the best way to make up for lost time due to injury and surgery.
