Knee osteoarthritis is a major degenerative damage to the knee, especially to the cartilage that covers the joint surfaces. These are the most common symptoms and indicators that the knee is severely damaged.

DO YOU RECOGNISE THESE SYMPTOMS IN YOURSELF??

• The range of bending (flexion) and extension of the knee is restricted
• The thigh muscle (quadriceps) is exceptionally weak (inhibited / shut down)
• The kneecap (patella) is no longer clearly defined
• A Baker’s cyst (at the back (posterior) of the knee) is often enlarged
• Pain occurs on the inner (medial) side of the knee, along the edge of the shin bone (tibia)
• The legs become bow-shaped (O-shaped), and the distance between the knees increases over time
• The joint capsule is tight
• Frequent swelling (sometimes permanent)

SOLUTION

Cartilage cannot regenerate! But that does not mean the condition cannot improve. These are our recommendations, which yield the best results:

• Strengthening the thigh muscle (quadriceps)
• Working on the flexibility of the joint capsule
• Staying physically active (in line with the capacity of the damaged tissue)
