People often ignore knee pain in the beginning. The initial phase is the best time to consult a Physiotherapist. This is the preventive phase.
Early physiotherapy assessment does not include expensive tests or treatments.
A good assessment with a gradually progressing exercise plan is all that is required. It is risky to follow any exercise routine that does not follow scientifically appropriate patterns. If a patient wants to continue any other exercise plan that should be discussed with a Physiotherapist.
Regular reviews lead to progress that is long lasting and it reduces the chances of complications. Physiotherapists have evidence and research backing their decision-making while working on knee pain cases from severe arthritis to meniscus or ACL tears.
Most of the cases do not need referrals for procedures or other interventions. Very few patients may need an immediate surgical opinion, they are referred as per requirement.
Common knee injuries among performance artists, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts have simple solutions, just need to reach a Physio at the right stage.
Prevention of progression, treatment, maintenance, and rehabilitation of knee arthritis is easy under the guidance of experienced Physiotherapists.
Physiotherapy patients include sports persons and long-distance runners from the age group above 50 years and they are a great example of why one should seek Physiotherapy advice at the right time. Look beyond pain relief, it is about improving the quality of movement in one's life.
