Overview
What is knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis)?
In knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis), the joint cartilage is worn down. Important: The degree of wear on an X-ray says little about pain—many people with osteoarthritis have few symptoms. Movement and strength are the most effective ways to maintain function and reduce pain.
Typical symptoms
Pain with load and start-up pain (e.g., after sitting), stiffness, occasional swelling. Symptoms often increase with prolonged load, but improve with regular movement.
Possible causes
Age, overuse, previous injuries, malalignment, and excess weight. Weak thigh muscles also contribute to symptoms.
Our solution
How ToonyTherapy helps you
In line with clinical guidelines, active therapy is the first choice: With targeted evidence-based training, we strengthen the muscles that protect the knee and improve load tolerance. Manual therapy relieves pain and stiffness, and with neuro-based pain therapy we reduce the fear of movement.
