Knee osteoarthritis
The 4 Pillars of Knee OA Management
A practical guide to understanding your knee osteoarthritis and successfully managing it yourself, built around the same 4-pillar framework used in clinic.
Why the 4 Pillars
Knee osteoarthritis is common, and for most people, very manageable, but managing it well is mostly on you day to day. This page walks through the four things that consistently make the biggest difference, in the order they usually matter, so you can take charge of your own knee with confidence.
Each section is a short, plain-language version of what's covered in clinic. If you want the fuller picture or hands-on guidance, that's exactly what an assessment is for.
Control the pain
Short-term relief from home, your physio, and your doctor.
Reduce the load
Weight, bracing, and walking aids that ease the joint.
Get it strong
A proven strength program, the biggest long-term factor.
