If you experience recurring knee pain or have difficulty with daily activities, you should get it evaluated promptly. The orthopaedic specialist at our clinic will first examine the joint and then advise whether physiotherapy alone is sufficient or if additional tests are required. Treatment begins only after a complete assessment.

Yes. While physiotherapy can't reverse cartilage wear, it can help control pain, increase flexibility, strengthen supporting muscles, and slow its progression. Many patients find that early treatment helps them maintain good joint mobility for years.

Absolutely not. We've seen many patients in our clinic who had been living with pain for years and were in great pain, but after starting treatment, they experienced significant relief.

Dr. Harshvardhan Hegde personally examines each patient. Your treatment plan is customised by our physiotherapy team based on your diagnosis, strength assessment, and movement patterns. This combined approach helps us target the underlying cause of the condition rather than just the symptoms, allowing you to experience relief as quickly as possible.

Yes. These symptoms usually indicate weak muscles or early arthritis. Strengthening and mobility exercises often reduce strain on the knee and make daily tasks easier and more comfortable.

Many patients experience milder and less stiffness within 2–3 weeks. Strength, stability, and long-term comfort typically improve within 6–12 weeks when therapy is continued.

In many mild to moderate cases, yes. By strengthening the necessary muscles and improving joint mechanics, patients can often delay or postpone knee replacement for several years.

No. We will guide you on what to avoid and what you can continue while you recover. Most patients stay active with low-impact exercises until their knee heals.

Yes. Improving muscle strength and joint mobility reduces pressure on the knee. Even small changes in activity, if addressed correctly, can make a noticeable difference.

Surgery is considered only when:

• The joint is severely damaged
• There is a complete ligament tear
• The knee locks repeatedly
• Physiotherapy fails despite consistent treatment

Dr. Hegde makes this decision after reviewing clinical findings and imaging results.

Yes. Our plans are customized based on each patient's mobility level, age, and medical history. Gentle, controlled exercises can significantly improve stability and comfort in seniors.

In many cases, yes. As joint mechanics and strength improve, patients often rely less on medication and feel more comfortable naturally.

We examine the patient’s knee in detail, check their gait and movement, review past reports, and determine the likely cause of the pain. After the evaluation, we guide the patient toward the appropriate treatment plan.

Yes. Whether it’s a ligament strain, meniscus irritation, or overuse injury, rehabilitation helps restore strength, flexibility, and confidence for a safe return to sport.
