There are so many opinions on PT, some say no pain no gain, other say PT shouldn't be painful. Not sure what to think, the more I read the more confused I seem to be. My current flexion is 90-95 and I've been riding shortened cranks 155mm for years. I'm hopeful and it's my goal to be able to ride "standard" cranks post surgery.
The success stories in this thread helped my frame of mind today. Much appreciated.
I had one physical therapy visit after my bilateral knee replacement. They checked the range of motion, said "keep bending it a lot". I told them that I had bought a stationary bike and they and told me to check back in with them if I was having trouble.
