Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting people of all ages. For many, it is linked to arthritis, a condition that causes stiffness, inflammation, and gradual wear of the knee joint. Whether you’re dealing with early signs of knee discomfort or advanced osteoarthritis, physiotherapy offers effective, non-invasive solutions that reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore independence. Understanding Knee Pain and Arthritis Knee pain can arise due to multiple causes such as injury, overuse, poor posture, or degenerative conditions. Among these, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent, particularly in people over 50. In arthritis, the protective cartilage in the knee wears away, leading to: • Pain and stiffness, especially after activity • Swelling and tenderness • Limited movement • Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or squatting Ignoring these symptoms can worsen joint damage and reduce quality of life. This is where physiotherapy steps in. How Physiotherapy Helps in Knee Pain and Arthritis 1. Pain Relief Techniques Physiotherapists use evidence-based modalities like ultrasound, TENS, and hot/cold therapy to ease pain and reduce inflammation. 2. Strengthening Exercises Targeted exercises strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles, which provide better support to the knee joint and reduce load on the affected area. 3. Flexibility & Mobility Training Gentle stretching and range-of-motion exercises improve joint flexibility, reducing stiffness and making daily activities easier. 4. Posture & Gait Correction By correcting walking patterns and body alignment, physiotherapy reduces stress on the knee and prevents further joint degeneration. 5. Lifestyle Guidance Physiotherapists educate patients about activity modification, joint protection, and safe exercise routines to manage arthritis in the long run.
