6 Manual Therapy Tech to Treat Knee Pain | Knee Osteoarthritis | घुटने का दर्द ।आर्थ्राइटिस

Generally, your knee joint becomes stiff due to lack of movement or mobility. How does the joint become stiff? In case of inadequate exercises and lack of movement to the knee joint, there is no nutrition to the synovial fluid that is present around the knee joint. When there is no nutrition to the synovial fluid, the connective tissue surrounding it becomes tight. Further, lack of movement makes the muscles weak and tight, rendering the knee joint stiff.

The solution to solve the problem of stiffness is by doing regular mobility exercises. If the problem still does not get solved, the answer lies in mobilisation of the knee. Mobilisations of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints will help to decrease the stiffness as these are passive accessory glides which help to mobilise the joint, thereby, increasing nutrition to the synovial joint, hence breaking the vicious cycle of stiffness and pain. There are numerous benefits of stretching and mobilisation exercises such as, firstly, these help to increase your knee’s flexibility. Regular stretching can increase flexibility, which is important for your knee joint. It can help to delay the decreased mobility that comes with aging. Better flexibility helps you to perform your activities of daily living with more comfort and ease.

Secondly, Mobilisation increases your range of motion highly. Mobilisation can help increase the range of motion of your knee, helping you to move the joint through its full range of motion, thus, decreasing pain and stiffness. Also, all kinds of stretching: static and dynamic stretching are effective when it comes to increasing range of motion.

Thirdly, mobilisation and mobility exercises improve your performance in physical activities and exercises. Performing dynamic stretches prior to physical activities has been shown to improve your performance in an exercise and mobilisation after the exercise helps to prevent soreness or pain arising due to the exercise.

These also help to Increase blood flow to your knee muscles

Performing stretches on a regular basis can improve blood circulation. Improved circulation means more blood flow to your muscles, which can fasten your recovery time and can reduce the soreness in the muscles (delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS).

Regular mobility and flexibility exercises decrease muscle imbalance.

Muscle imbalance is common in the knee joint, where inside structures tend to weaken, and outside structures tend to tighten. Therefore, it is important to stretch outside structures and strengthen inside structures, thereby improving balance of muscles around the knee joint.

Altogether, all the above factors improve your posture of knee.

Strengthening and stretching specific muscle groups can reduce musculoskeletal pain and can improve muscle alignment and thus, improve the posture of the knee joint.

Mobilisation and regular stretching help to heal and prevent knee pain.

Tight muscles decrease the range of motion of your knee joint. Thus, increasing the likelihood of straining the knee muscles. Mobilisation and Stretching help to heal the knee injury also. Regular stretches can also help to prevent knee pain in future by strengthening your knee muscles, thereby, decreasing the risk of muscle strain. So, here’s your guide to mobilisation and mobility exercises of knee joint.
