Physiotherapy for ArthritisrnPhysiotherapy enables patients with debilitating disease to regain loss of function in their muscles, and joints

Knee pain facts

The knee joint has three compartments: medial, lateral, and patello femoral.
Causes of knee pain include injury, degeneration, arthritis, infrequently infection, and rarely bone tumors.
Ligaments within the knee (cruciate ligaments) and on the inner and outer sides of the knee (collateral ligaments) stabilize the joint.

The knee joint is one of the most commonly involved joints in rheumatic diseases (over 100 disease types). Rheumatic diseases are immune diseases that affect various tissues of the body, including the joints, by causing arthritis (pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited joint movements).

How is the knee designed, and what is its function?

It is important to understand the components of the knee because any of these tissues can become injured or diseased to cause pain in the knee.
Muscle Strengthening Exercises

After a knee injury, the muscles that help move and support the knee become tense and strained. This causes pain for the patient and limits movement of the knee joint. Weak muscles will not be able to support the knee and can cause knee movements to become disjointed. The main muscles that coordinate knee movements are the quadriceps. In order to coordinate knee movement, these muscles must be strong. The best form of physiotherapy for the quadriceps is the following exercise: Lie down with your leg straight and tense your thigh muscles. Attempt to push the knee down while raising the heel of your foot. Do this only for a few seconds for 15 to 20 minutes every day.

Stretching Exercises

Stretching exercises will help complement the muscle-strengthening exercises. One of the best forms of exercise for the knee is to activate the quadriceps muscles. Place a rolled-up towel under your knee and lift your heels. Straighten the knee as much as possible without raising it from the towel. If this is too painful, start with a larger roll and, as the knee gets more flexible, make the towel smaller, which will make lifting the knee more difficult.

Heat Therapy

Physiotherapy is not all about exercise. Patients with a lot of pain will be given wax bath treatment alleviate the pain from their knee injury. To further soothe and relax the muscles, treatment in the form of heat therapy may be advised. In this kind of therapy, infrared heat rays are focused on the site of injury after the exercises have been completed. Hydrotherapy, in the form of swimming, may also be advised, as this helps relax the muscles, making exercise more effective.

The knee is a joint that has three compartments. This joint has an inner (medial) and an outer (lateral) compartment. The kneecap (patella) joins the femur to form a third compartment called the patellofemoral joint. The thighbone (femur) meets the large shinbone (tibia), forming the main knee joint.

The knee joint is surrounded by a joint capsule with ligaments strapping the inside and outside of the joint (medial and lateral collateral ligaments [MCL and LCL]) as well as crossing within the joint (cruciate ligaments). These ligaments provide stability and strength to the knee joint.
