Physiotherapists use Cryo-therapy using Icepacks and our most current high-tech device, Cryo-air, to alleviate inflammation and pain during the initial few days of treatment.

  • The physiotherapist will next demonstrate a different knee range of motion exercises, such as heel slides, for 10 repetitions.

  • Then, for the first few days, start with isometric strengthening exercises; when the soreness goes away, you may progress to further strengthening activities.

  • Quadriceps strengthening exercise with a short arc, Prone (on stomach) knee bends, Bridging exercise (a mix of trunk and leg strengthening), Mini Lunges for the Medial Quadriceps Strengthening exercises include wall squatting or half squatting, double heel rises (for calf strengthening), and leg raises (lying). Etc.

  • Long sitting calf stretches (which may help you regain knee extension) and sitting hamstring stretches are two examples of stretching exercises.

  • Workouts that strengthen the core, such as Pilates and Aerobics.

  • Kinesio tape is used to relieve pressure on the knee joint.

  • Dry needling and acupuncture

Limiting activities that exacerbate the condition is one of the home exercise guidelines. Changing from high-impact to low-impact activities (such as jogging) (swimming or cycling). Loss of weight. Using assistive devices such as a cane. modifying shoe insoles or using a brace or a knee sleeve.
