Have you hurt your knee?
What can be done for your knee problems?
Many patients have physiotherapy for their knee problems. Physiotherapists can do a lot to help a damaged knee which can manifest itself as just a sore knee or even a clicking or grinding sensation. Here are some of the ways your knee can be helped:
Increase range of movement
A damaged or arthritic knee will often stiffen up. This can cause pain, weakness and loss of function. Increasing the movement in a stiff knee can improve all of these things.
Strengthen muscles
You only need a small amount of swelling or pain in your knee to cause inhibition of the important quadriceps (thigh) muscles. If these muscles are not working properly, it can lead to ongoing problems in your knee.
Release soft tissue restrictions
The soft tissue around your knee can tighten up due to muscle imbalance, inflammation and scar tissue. Your physiotherapist can identify if this has happened and release any tight tissue.
Bracing or strapping
Sometimes you will need tape or a brace to enable you to overcome a knee problem. This will enable you to remain as active as possible, within the limitations of your knee problem. Your physiotherapist can advise you what will work best.
Reducing inflammation
Physiotherapists use a number of measures to reduce pain and inflammation in a damaged knee. Reducing swelling and inflammation, as quickly as possible, is vital if you want a quick resolution of your knee problem.
Activity modification
If you have a painful knee, you need to avoid activities that place stress on the knee. Your physiotherapist can advise you what to avoid. For example, if you have a problem under your knee cap you should avoid most lunging and squatting exercises.
Rehabilitation after surgery
Physiotherapy after knee surgery is vital. You should commence this as soon as you can to achieve the best outcome possible.
