Therapy
Rehabilitation is often used to help surgical and nonsurgical knee injury patients recover and get back to their lives. A treatment program focused on muscle strengthening is a common choice. Rehabilitation may include range-of-motion, strength, and flexibility exercises, concentration on strengthening quadriceps muscles for added support, and temporary use of crutches or a brace for stability.
For arthritis therapy, integrating lower impact training activities may help relieve some of the symptoms. For example, substitute swimming instead of running on some days. Your physical therapist will work with you to alleviate your specific symptoms and introduce exercises to help increase strength and range of motion. Regular use of heat or ice, bandaging during certain activities, and massage or topical ointments may offer relief as well.
