Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy help knee osteoarthritis?
Absolutely. Physiotherapy is a first-line treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Strengthening the muscles around the joint helps reduce the load on the cartilage and decreases pain.
Do I need surgery for a meniscus tear?
Not always. Many meniscus tears, especially degenerative ones, respond very well to conservative management with physiotherapy.
