Fascia and Why It Matters Before a Knee Operation

Why Fascia Matters Before Knee Surgery

We recommend fascia treatment before undergoing knee surgery (full or partial replacement). Surgeons replace the joint structure itself—but not the tissue around it.

That surrounding tissue, especially the fascia, can hold on to dysfunction from old injuries, inflammation, or poor biomechanics. When this unhealthy fascia is sewn back together after surgery, it can:

• Restrict movement

• Irritate nerves

• Contribute to ongoing pain—even the pain that led to surgery in the first place

Our goal is to make the surrounding fascia as elastic, mobile, and healthy as possible before surgery by:

• Releasing adhesions and restrictions

• Improving nerve communication

• Ensuring the soft tissue around the joint is pliable and supportive

Pre-Op Fascia Treatment and Biomechanical Training

After releasing fascial restrictions, we begin pre-surgical biomechanical training to strengthen the muscles and tendons surrounding the knee. This targeted approach:

• Prepares your body for surgery

• Improves stability

• Encourages a smoother surgical experience

• Speeds up post-op recovery

  
  

Benefits of Fascia Work Before Knee Surgery

We’ve seen a clear difference in outcomes between those who prepare with fascia therapy and those who don’t. Benefits include:

• Faster recovery times

• Less post-operative pain

• Better range of motion and reduced swelling

• Fewer compensatory issues in the hips, lower back, or opposite leg

Patients who skip pre-op fascia work often report pain returning—or showing up in new places—after the operation. This happens because untreated fascia can pull joints out of alignment, create nerve tension, and limit full recovery.

How We Work at INPEAK

We don’t just treat the knee—we assess your entire body to understand where dysfunction originates. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Movement Assessment: Identify faulty movement patterns

2. Precise Fascial Release: Restore balance and mobility in and around the knee

3. Immediate Retesting: Confirm improvements in real-time

   
   

Most clients experience a noticeable improvement in movement and pain relief during the first session.

Why Fascia-Based Therapy Works

Fascia is dynamic and adaptable. When stimulated correctly, it responds by:

• Regenerating collagen

• Enhancing hydration

• Reducing inflammation

• Restoring natural movement and tension balance

By working with your fascia before surgery, we’re supporting your body’s healing intelligence—not fighting against it.
