What is Knee Arthritis? How Can Physiotherapy Help?

Arthritis, a term many are familiar with, refers to inflammation in one or more joints. In a healthy joint, movement is smooth and pain-free. However, arthritis causes swelling, pain, and stiffness, much like rust on a door hinge that makes it harder to move, causes grinding of the joint and results in pain.

Common Signs of Knee Arthritis:

Pain: Experienced during or after movement.
Stiffness: Especially noticeable in the morning or after prolonged sitting.
Swelling: The knee may appear puffy or enlarged.
Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty fully straightening or bending the knee.
Noises: You might hear clicking, creaking or crunching sounds when moving the knee.

The most common type of knee arthritis is osteoarthritis, often linked to aging, previous injuries, or genetic factors. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, results from the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking the joints.

Several factors can increase your risk of developing knee arthritis, including:

Age: The risk increases as you get older.
Genetics: Family history plays a role.
Weight: Extra weight puts additional strain on the knees.
Repetitive Stress: Jobs or activities that consistently stress the knee.
Previous Injuries: Past injuries can lead to arthritis later in life.

Thankfully, advancements in physiotherapy mean that many people with knee arthritis can regain mobility, reduce pain, and enjoy life again. Knee arthritis can be treated, managed, and sometimes even resolved!

Effective Physiotherapy Techniques for Managing Knee Arthritis

At Axis Health Center, our physiotherapists begin with a thorough physical examination and review of your medical history to understand your unique situation and goals. This helps us pinpoint the root causes of your pain and movement limitations, allowing us to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Here are some proven physiotherapy treatments and techniques for knee arthritis:

Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises: Targeted stretches and mobility exercises maintain or improve knee joint movement and overall function.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques like joint mobilizations or soft tissue massage increase joint mobility, reduce pain, and enhance tissue flexibility.
Strengthening Exercises: Focused on the muscles around the knee, these exercises improve joint stability, support the knee, and reduce pain by offloading stress from the arthritic joint.
Functional Training: Activities that simulate daily tasks, such as climbing stairs or squatting, to help you regain specific functions
Balance and Proprioception Training: Exercises that improve your sense of balance and joint stability, reducing the risk of falls and awkward movements that could further damage the knee.

The exact combination of these techniques will depend on the severity and type of arthritis, as well as your individual needs.
