Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis
Degeneration of knee cartilage can result in stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, assessment identifies movement restrictions and strength deficits. Care includes manual therapy, soft tissue work, strengthening exercises, and movement retraining to reduce pain, improve function, and maintain long-term joint health.
Our Specialized Approach

- Pain & Stiffness ManagementApply heat therapy, manual joint mobilization, and electrotherapy to reduce knee pain and morning joint stiffness.
- Hydrotherapy & Low-Impact ExerciseIncorporate aquatic therapy and low-impact exercises to improve mobility and strength with minimal arthritic joint loading.
- Quadriceps & Glute StrengtheningStrengthen quadriceps and gluteal muscles to offload the arthritic knee joint and improve functional stability.
- Gait & Postural RetrainingAddress compensatory gait patterns and alignment deviations that increase knee joint stress and contribute to pain.
- Education & Self-ManagementProvide guidance on activity modification, weight management, and home exercise strategies to manage symptoms long term.
