How does physiotherapist manage my knee arthritis?

A physiotherapist can manage knee arthritis in several ways, including:

1. Exercise therapy: customized exercises to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and increase strength.

2. Manual therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilization and soft tissue massage to reduce pain and improve function.

3. Education: Teaching you about your condition, how to manage pain, and how to maintain healthy joint function.

4. Modalities: Using heat, cold, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to relieve pain and reduce swelling.

5. Assistive devices: Recommending braces, canes, or other devices to help manage your symptoms.

6. Activity modification: Advising you on changes to your daily activities to minimize stress on your knee and reduce pain.

It's important to work with your physiotherapist to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
