Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is gradual wear of the knee joint cartilage causing pain and stiffness, especially with age; physiotherapy helps strengthen supporting muscles and keep the knee mobile.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce knee load
  • Stay active with low-impact movement like walking
  • Wear supportive, cushioned footwear
  • Use handrails or support on stairs when needed

Don'ts

  • Don't sit cross-legged or squat for long periods
  • Avoid high-impact activities like running on hard surfaces
  • Don't ignore persistent swelling or locking of the knee
  • Avoid staying inactive for long stretches

When to see a physiotherapist: See a physiotherapist if knee pain limits daily activities, causes swelling, or does not ease with rest.
