At Curezone Physiotherapy Clinic in Mississauga and Oakville, we understand the challenges of living with knee arthritis, and we’re here to help you regain mobility and reduce pain.

What is arthritis?

Arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. In the case of knee arthritis, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint wears down over time, resulting in bone-on-bone contact and discomfort.

How can Physiotherapy help?

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing knee arthritis by focusing on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving flexibility, and reducing pain. At Curezone Physiotherapy Clinic, we offer personalized assessment and treatment programs tailored to your specific needs.

Our team of experienced and registered physiotherapists begins by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your condition. We take the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your knee arthritis. This personalized approach allows us to develop a targeted treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns.

Once the assessment is complete, we will work with you to design a customized treatment program aimed at relieving your knee arthritis symptoms. We offer a comprehensive range of advanced treatments aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing your overall quality of life.

Our experienced physiotherapists utilize hands-on techniques such as myofascial release techniques and joint mobilization to address stiffness and improve joint function. Through gentle manipulation and targeted pressure, we aim to restore range of motion and alleviate discomfort in the affected knee joint.

Modalities:

We employ various modalities to effectively manage pain associated with knee arthritis. Advanced machines like laser therapy can penetrate deep into the tissue to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. Electrical modalities, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), deliver controlled electrical impulses to disrupt pain signals and promote pain relief. Additionally, ultrasound therapy can provide targeted heat to the affected area, increasing blood flow and reducing discomfort.

Our tailored exercise programs focus on strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee joint. By targeting specific muscle groups, we aim to improve stability and support, reducing the strain on the arthritic joint. Banded exercises, stretching exercises for the hamstrings, Isotonic exercises for the Quadriceps, resistance training, and functional movements are incorporated to enhance muscle strength and promote joint health.

In addition to hands-on techniques, we offer manual therapy interventions to address joint stiffness and improve mobility. Through gentle manipulation and mobilization techniques, we aim to restore proper alignment and function to the knee joint, alleviating pain and promoting healing.

Empowering you with knowledge is a key aspect of our treatment approach. Our team provides education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic techniques, and lifestyle modifications to help you manage your knee arthritis symptoms effectively. By adopting healthy habits and understanding how to protect your joints, you can minimize pain and optimize your overall well-being.
