A simple rolling pin can be a surprisingly useful tool after total knee replacement.
In this video, I explain how I use a rolling pin to scan for sensitive areas, provide localized massage, help manage swelling, and work on knee extension at the same time. You can do this on a treatment table, bench, or even sitting sideways on your couch.
The goal is not to beat up the tissue. It is to use comfortable pressure, find the areas that need attention, and keep the knee moving toward full extension.

I inherited my mothers house and rolling pin. Don't do much cooking, but now I have a reason to use the rolling pin.
Time to go thrifting for a rolling pin for my TKR
I found a roller on amazon. The components spin. Very helpful
For how long and how often must you massage in that way?
Thanks for sharing this super-helpful idea and demo.
