Physical Therapy for Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, which leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Physical therapy can play a crucial role in the management of knee arthritis by reducing pain and improving function.
One of the most effective physical therapy treatments for knee arthritis is therapeutic exercise. Exercise can help improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee joint. Low-impact exercises such as cycling, swimming, and walking can be particularly beneficial for patients with knee arthritis, as they put less stress on the joint than high-impact activities such as running.
Another effective physical therapy treatment for knee arthritis is manual therapy. Manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization, can help reduce pain and stiffness in the knee joint and improve range of motion. Strength training exercises are also a key component of physical therapy for knee arthritis. Strengthening the muscles around the knee joint can help to support the joint and reduce stress on the joint during movement. The therapist may recommend exercises such as squats, lunges, leg lifts, and step-ups, which can be performed using body weight or resistance bands.
Modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation can also be used to help reduce pain and inflammation in the knee joint. Your physical therapists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals, and helps you manage your symptoms effectively.
