5 Inherent Benefits Of Physiotherapy For Knee Pain Treatment

Share :

Consistent knee pain is a major obstacle for leading a normal life: While the pain itself makes it bad, the soreness and stiffness due to knee pain makes it worse. The patient finds it difficult to walk, run or jump and often needs external assistance for the same.

In some extreme cases, knee pain can also impact the balance of the legs, and the patient may even fall down or trip while walking.

With regular and dedicated physiotherapy, patients of knee pain can gradually recover, and carry on with their normal day to day activities with ease. However, depending on the severity of the knee pain, different physiotherapy exercises are recommended by the physiotherapists, which leads to gradual improvement and subsequent recovery.

Some of the common symptoms of knee pain include:

• Stiffness and swelling of joints
• Constant pain
• Severe pain when the knee is being used like walking, jumping, running
• Crunching and popping noise when the patient is sitting or getting up
• Difficulty and/or inability to straighten or flex or bend the knees
• Unstable knees due to weakness
• Deformity around the knee joints
• Consistent knee pain that occurs in night or cold weather
• Long term knee pain, that is sustained beyond few days

5 Benefits Of Physiotherapy For Knee Pain Treatment

Now, let’s discuss the inherent benefits of knee pain treatment:

Minimal Need For Medications

It’s a general tendency to lean towards pain killers and medications to treat pain, not only knee pain, but any type of pain. And this is not recommended for a longer duration of time. Although painkillers will make the brain forget about the pain, but the pain still remains. And in most of the cases, the patients get dependent on the medications to get instant relief from pain, and this makes the situation even worse.

Avoiding Surgery

In case the knee ailment deteriorates, then surgery is the last option, but which needs to be avoided. Surgery is expensive, risky, invasive and can put a huge toll on the patient’s overall health and wellness.

With gradual and dedicated physiotherapy, surgery can be avoided, and the condition can be improvised gradually.

Enhanced Mobility

The biggest benefit of long term and dedicated physiotherapy is that, the patient of knee pain is able to increase mobility, and carry on with their normal day to day activities with ease: Walking, running, playing with children, jumping etc can be resumed with physiotherapy as the patient is able to regain strength, range of motion and mobility functions.

Ofcourse, this cannot happen overnight, but with determination, patience and focus.

Improvement In Balance

As mentioned earlier, in severe cases of knee pain, balance of the patient can deteriorate, and this can even lead to falling down.

This imbalance arising due to knee pain can be resolved with dedicated and consistent physiotherapy, and the patient can experience a marked difference in their gait and balance.
