How it WORKS
GoKnee is a revolutionary treatment approach that is clinically proven to cut your knee recovery time in half following knee replacement surgery. GoKnee has two components:
the device and the exercise program.
The Device
The device is lightweight and portable, designed for you to use from the comfort of your own home. Knee recovery does not often leave much room for independence, especially in the early days, but with our device you finally have an opportunity to take recovery into your own hands. Our device creates the same pressure and guidance that your physical therapist provides during therapy sessions, the difference being YOU are in control.
The Exercise Program
The exercise program can be streamed from any device that has internet access. If this is not an option for you, we can provide print copies or DVDs. Regardless of how you obtain our exercise program, the important factor is that you USE it! Each exercise is specifically constructed to target a specific muscle group, movement, or trigger physiological and neurological connections throughout your recovery journey.
GoKnee’s comprehensive design encompasses range of motion, strengthening, joint mobilization, and safety features to protect your knee.
