Possibly, but only after clearance from your surgeon or physical therapist. Start with seated modifications. How often should I do them? Aim for 3–5 days per week, 1–3 sets of 8–12 reps per exercise, adjusting for comfort and fatigue. Will this cure osteoarthritis? These exercises help reduce pain and improve function but are not a cure. Work with your healthcare team for a comprehensive plan. Do I need special equipment? No — bodyweight and chair support are enough. Use a resistance band for progression if advised by a professional. ***************************************************************************** Safety disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only and does not replace professional medical advice.
