On the occasion of World Physiotherapy Day 2021, I would really like to discuss the causes, symptoms and the Physiotherapy management of knee pain.
Exercising may be the last thing you want to do when your joints are stiff and achy. But exercise is a crucial part of osteoarthritis treatment in order to ease pain and stay active.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that can affect the many tissues of the joint.

In some cases, all of the cartilage may wear away, leaving bones that rub up against each other.
