Hi,
You can continue with physiotherapy and concentrate more on strengthening exercises.
The healing period depends on many factors: Age, Weight, Current strength of the muscles around knee, bone density and smoking.
Under proper guidance you can feel a difference in your knee in around 3 more weeks.
