Guided movement to build strength, ease stiffness, and make walking easier.
Low-impact exercise such as walking, cycling, and strengthening can improve how the knee works. The exercises are chosen after the knee is examined, and they are stopped if they sharply increase pain.
A set of movements to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve bending.
Stronger muscles take some load off the joint and give you more control when you walk.
People with arthritis, stiffness, or weakness, when exercise is safe for them.
Gentle strengthening often reduces pain when it is matched to your knee.
Movement within a comfortable range helps stiffness.
Walking, cycling, and simple strengthening are preferred over jumping.
A short session on most days is more useful than one long session.
The aim is easier walking, stairs, and daily activity.
Exercise is part of care before surgery is discussed.

Yes, when the exercise is matched to your knee. Gentle strengthening and movement often reduce pain. Sharp pain during an exercise means that movement should be changed.
Thigh and hip strengthening, straight-leg raises, seated knee bends within a comfortable range, and short walks help most. High-impact jumping is usually avoided when the knee is arthritic and painful.
A short session on most days is more useful than one long session once a week. Your physiotherapist sets the number of repetitions for your knee.
Stop and seek a review if the knee swells a lot, locks, gives way, or the pain is worse the next day and does not settle. Exercise should not be pushed through a new injury.
