Not all knee wear-and-tear shows pain!
Many people have signs of knee degeneration on X-rays or scans, but never experience any discomfort. This means that even with some damage, your knees might not hurt. This highlights the importance of pain management, rather than surgery, for those with knee problems.
At Studio On (Phnom Penh), we help strengthen knees and manage pain, especially from osteoarthritis.
Science shows exercise, particularly strengthening exercises, is key to reducing knee pain and improving movement in people with osteoarthritis. Strength training can ease pain and stiffness, improve muscle strength, and help your leg muscles absorb shock better.
Even home exercise programs can be effective!
Studies show home-based exercise routines can significantly reduce pain and improve quality of life for those with osteoarthritis. Aerobic exercise also offers benefits, like improved heart and lung function, reduced stress, and better fat burning – all important for managing osteoarthritis.
