What are common symptoms?
- Pain, tightness, stiffness and swelling around the knee are common symptoms
- Can cause interrupted sleep
- Worse with weight bearing which can lead to limited walking ability
- Limited mobility leads to a more sedentary lifestyle and progressive deterioration of the knee and general health, both physically and psychosocially
What are current treatments?
- There is no cure for knee OA
- knee replacement surgery is an effective treatment but usually recommended after all other treatments fail
- Pain, anti-inflammatory medications, and steroid injections can provide short-term benefit but should not be used as the sole treatment
- Conservative care combining weight loss (if necessary), education, specific exercises, and manual therapy is recommended
Why learn the Boot Camp Program for Knee OA?
- The 6-week Boot Camp Program for knee OA is a comprehensive approach based on the best available research
- Can reduce pain, flare-ups, and restore function
- Combines tailored exercises and instruction on self-management strategies and reduces fear and anxiety caused by pain
- Best results when the program is implemented by a trained practitioner, but important benefits can be achieved when performed on your own (self-directed)
