3 Tips to delaying knee replacement surgery

We are often asked how to avoid joint replacement surgery, such as knees and hips. Although surgical procedures are improving in functional outcomes and longevity, many people find that post operatively they are restricted in sports and activities they previously enjoyed. Surgery should be a last resort after a comprehensive conservative treatment program has been completed.

1. Stretch and release muscles around the knee to decrease pressure in the joint.
   
2. Increase strength in muscles that stabilise and control knee movement.
3. Balanced lifestyle: Exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, eat a nutritious diet
