Knee rehabilitation
Physical therapy for any fractures, dislocations and bruises begins on the second day after the injury.
The frequency and duration of classes depend on the severity of the pathology. Our task is to properly organize the work of anyone who comes to our clinic and develop an individual system for restoring the body. This ensures steady positive dynamics. An orthopedic traumatologist will prescribe you an individual course of rehabilitation (physical therapy, physiotherapy, massage, imperative corrective gymnastics on simulators, mechanotherapy and other methods). We use our own method in the treatment of the knee joint.
At the BRT rehabilitation center, treatment is possible both on an outpatient basis and in a residential clinic. Comfortable conditions, effective treatment and rehabilitation under the supervision of rehabilitation doctors. Accommodation is possible with accompanying persons, hotel-type rooms, meals, a range of rehabilitation measures. Individual treatment programs.
Joint problems
Problems with joints are not subject to time, age, or lifestyle. They occur in young, adult and elderly people, both in professional athletes and in people who rarely engage in sports.
In youth - most often these injuries are associated with sports, hard work, accident or heredity. In older age, problems manifest themselves as a result of: a sedentary lifestyle, degenerative changes in joint and periarticular tissues that arise from physical inactivity; obesity and the increased risk of injury along with it.
In old age, all the injuries and microtraumas received over a lifetime make themselves felt. Degenerative processes are only accelerating, and immune resources are no longer enough to recover and stop the course of the disease.
As we see, no one can be sure that he will not be at risk of getting a joint injury. And every orthopedist and rehabilitation specialist will tell you the fact that joints need to be treated immediately when you feel discomfort.

The structure of the knee joint is complex, and it is the most vulnerable of all joints. The distribution of load throughout the entire musculoskeletal system depends on how the knee joint performs its supporting, shock-absorbing function. Everyone will probably not remember injuries to the knee joint suffered in childhood, meanwhile, with age, the ability of the joint to recover decreases.
Recovery from a knee injury
There is such a well-known stereotype that you can predict bad weather when the knee begins to “act up”. However, rather than relegating knee pain to a weather forecasting method, people who have suffered knee injuries have been looking for effective knee injury treatments that not only reduce and eliminate knee pain, but also help restore mobility and return to their activities as as quickly as possible.
An active person who has overused or injured their knee joint may not even realize they have sustained an injury until they wake up a day or two after a strenuous workout with pain and stiffness in one or both knees. Especially if he was inactive for several hours after training. This stiffness may go away after a short time, but the pain will continue or get worse as you spend a day on your feet. In this case, you need to pay special attention to any cracking or scraping sensations in the knee joints, as this may be symptoms of exposed bones rubbing against each other.
Common symptoms can be caused by a variety of medical conditions, but a specialist will try to determine whether knee pain, swelling, and stiffness are caused by injury to the joint or osteoarthritis, which gets worse with age.
In extreme cases, severe injuries, degradation of cartilage in the knee joint, and chronic knee problems may require surgery to replace the affected joints. Fortunately for most people, doctors and therapists can usually create a 4-part knee injury treatment plan that does not involve surgery.
The very first stage is the elimination and relief of pain. Minor pain can be reduced with the help of well-known painkillers, such as ibuprofen. More severe ones may require prescription pain medications. Individuals who have allergies or special sensitivities to these medications, or who have concerns about dependence on pain medications, should discuss these issues with their physicians before starting any course of pharmaceutical pain relief. Likewise, patients who are diagnosed with other diseases, as painkillers can harm the liver or other organs of a person if taken for a longer period of time. Alternatively, your doctor may relieve knee pain by injecting corticosteroids directly into the affected joint.
The second part is a series of recommendations for implementing the control and treatment of knee pain directly into a person’s daily activities. For example, a weight loss plan can reduce regular pressure on painful knee joints.
Certain foods that contain higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and other components can help lubricate affected joints and reduce pain associated with bones rubbing against each other. Relieving pressure on affected joints through regular rest and using hot compresses or water therapy on joints can also reduce pain and improve mobility. The patient needs to take some responsibility for their care and treatment in order to get the maximum benefit from the treatment.
The third and fourth stages are stretching and exercises. A physical therapist develops an exercise plan that is appropriate for specific types of knee injuries. Stretching will reduce the number of knots and other ligaments in the muscle tissue that contribute to knee pain.
A physical therapist may recommend knee and hip stretches from both a lying and standing position. Proper rehabilitation from a knee injury will require a person to continue stretching and massaging the muscles after they leave the therapist's office.
The exercises should not be very difficult to perform, especially in the early stages of rehabilitation. Riding an exercise bike and walking in a pool will provide gentle resistance to the muscles around the affected joint and strengthen them, improving joint stability. People with less severe symptoms may benefit from Pilates.
Particular attention should be paid to stabilizing the injured knee joint after injury. Knee orthoses and bandages provide good fixation and stabilization of the knee. A person serious about rehabilitating an injured knee should discuss with their physician how to most effectively use braces to stabilize the knee. The victim should continue to use the brace for a period of time even after he feels that he has recovered from the injury, at least until a doctor or therapist confirms that he has fully recovered from the injury.
