Knees up
A prescription of education and exercise rather than medication and surgery may be just what the doctor ordered for people with some cases of bad knees according to physiotherapy researchers from La Trobe University Melbourne.
They evaluated the effects of an education and exercise programme on almost 2,000 Australians with knee osteoarthritis. Three quarters of the people reported clinical meaningful improvement in pain or quality of life and no longer wanted knee surgery.
