PHYSICAL THERAPY EXERCISES TO REDUCE KNEE PAIN

The joints on your knees are one of the hardest working joints in the body. Hence, making them more prone to injury and other conditions that may cause knee pain. If you are not injured but are experiencing knee pain, you can always consult your doctor if they would recommend manual therapy Dubai to alleviate your knee pain.

Aside from an injury, knee pain may be caused by inflammation of tendons, overuse or repetitive movement, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and obesity. No matter the cause, years of study have shown that physical therapy can help relieve knee pain and improve the patient’s overall condition.

Sports physiotherapy, as well as exercises focusing on strengthening the parts of the body, helps reduce the stress placed on your knee joint. Hence reducing the pressure and pain on your knees. Strengthening exercises can also help improve your range of motion and prevent injuries that may affect your knee and knee joint.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING KNEE PAINS, HERE ARE SOME EXERCISES YOU CAN TRY ALONG WITH DEEP SPORTS MASSAGE:

1. Straight leg raises or SLR is a great initial way to target the quadriceps muscles in front of the thigh. This exercise activates this knee-supporting muscle without placing excessive pressure through the joint itself. It can be helpful for osteoarthritis, meniscal lesions, a subluxed kneecap, or and sprain.
2. Performing exercises such as the single-leg balance technique are a great way to target the stabilizing muscles in the leg. It helps build an individual’s strength and balance and may be beneficial for people with medial osteoarthritis, a medial meniscal tear, a patellar subluxation, or sprain.
3. Using an empty wall, the wall squat exercise will help you burn and develop your quadriceps muscle. This exercise can increase strength in this area and help improve the medial knee symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, meniscal tearing, sprain, patellar subluxation, or pes anserine bursitis.
