Hi there
He might be suffering from osteoarthritis and therapy can help him too but he need to follow do's and don'ts told by your physio. And need to do exercise daily at home as per prescribed by your physiotherapist. It's about strengthening his leg muscles so that leg can bear weight and pausing further damage to joints.
Next Steps
consult an orthopedic doctor
