    Knee injury

    Physical Agents In Rehabilitation
    Hi! I have been having pain on my right knee above and to the left of the kneecap while downhill skiing. I took X-rays and MRI scans to find whether anything is wrong. But doctors said that they didn't find anything wrong. With the suggestion of one of my friend, I have taken an appointment with a physiotherapic treatment clinic in Toronto. Yesterday I stumbled upon a blog(Skiing Knee Injuries: How Physiotherapy Treatment Can Help | AESM ) saying that physiotherapy can help in curing such kind of pain and injuries. Is that so? I didn’t try this, but if it is yes, I like to do. I was wondering if physiotherapy would reduce knee pain. Has anyone experienced it?

    Hey mate,

    Of course it can. Guidance on stretching/mobility practice as well as strength and conditioning exercises is what a Physio's main role is. Manual therapies, massage, acupuncture etc etc are all short term pain modulators. You need to know how to "service" and "maintain" your body daily so it can perform and a good Physio will help you with that.
