Abstract

Background. The physical therapy is essential for the articular functionality, in cases like knee arthritis disease. In the knee recovery I have been using methods like physical exercise, electrotherapy and massage.
Objectives. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. This can result in bone rubbing on bone, and produce painful bone spurs. Osteoarthritis develops slowly and the pain it causes worsens over time. Methods. The main goal of any therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis in most cases is to reduce pain and improve the physical functioning.
Results. In the process of recovery it can be used medicamentation, thermotherapy, electrotherapy, physiotherapy, balneoteraphy, hydrotherapy, ergotherapy.
Conclusion. Physical therapy can help to reduce the pain, swelling, and stiffness of knee osteoarthritis, and it can help improve knee joint function. Working out muscles in the leg can help make the knee joints stronger. Strengthening these muscles alone can help decrease the pain of knee osteoarthritis. Because knee osteoarthritis often makes it hard to move, flexibility exercises are very important. Doing them regularly can help increase range of motion, make the knees more flexible.
