Physio Spirit / Knee pain & arthritis
Knees that hurt on the stairs.
Knee arthritis responds to the right loading. GLA:D is the evidence-based program built for exactly this.
Does this sound like you?
Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms commonly associated with the problems below. What is right for you depends on an individual assessment.
- Stairs, especially coming down, are the worst part of the day
- Stiff after sitting, better once you get going
- Swelling after a big day on your feet
- Grinding or clicking with a squat
- You have been told it is bone on bone
- A surgeon has mentioned a replacement, but not yet
What we actually do about it.
Joint mobilisation
Restoring the glide the joint has lost so it moves further with less pain.
Taping
Offloading the painful side of the joint while strength returns.
Manual therapy
Soft tissue work through the thigh and calf that carry the joint.
GLA:D program
The structured strength program built for hip and knee arthritis.
