Knee pain and arthritis is common as we age. A lot of research has been done by the Australian Physiotherapists. Knee osteoarthritis has been found to be an inflammatory condition. Belly fat is inflammatory, and this increases your knee pain. Weight loss (and not a large amount) can have a positive effect on your knee pain. Strengthening the quadriceps (thigh) and hip muscles markedly improves function and decreases pain. Please visit us to help decrease your pain with mobilisation, strapping and exercises.
