Physiotherapy Instead of Surgery?

There are several conditions for which physiotherapy is a good treatment option, and knee osteoarthritis is one of them. Individuals who experience knee osteoarthritis respond well to physiotherapy, especially in the early stages. A well-planned physiotherapy program has been shown to improve the body's ability to function by improving strength and coordination. This may reduce the need for surgery. 

Physiotherapists recognize and correct abnormal movement patterns, and create a comprehensive treatment approach for each patient.
