Assessment first
Treat the person, not simply the X-ray.
Knee osteoarthritis can affect walking, stairs, sleep, work and confidence. Treatment decisions should reflect your symptoms and function as well as any imaging findings.
Therapeutic exercise is a core treatment. Depending on your needs, the wider plan may include activity advice, weight-management support where relevant, medication review with an appropriate prescriber, an injection consultation or orthopaedic referral.

Your pathway
Clear decisions at every stage.
Assess capacity
Movement, strength and functional tasks help shape an achievable starting point.
Compare options
Rehabilitation, medicines, injections and referral are discussed in context.
Measure progress
The plan is reviewed against meaningful goals rather than X-ray appearance alone.
Honest, evidence-informed care
Exercise remains central
NICE recommends tailored therapeutic exercise for people with osteoarthritis. Injections have different evidence and guideline positions, and none should be described as curing arthritis or regrowing cartilage.
Common questions
Useful answers before you enquire.
Does severe arthritis always mean surgery?+
No. Decisions depend on pain, function, health, goals and response to appropriate non-surgical care—not an X-ray alone.
Can exercise make arthritis worse?+
NICE advises that discomfort can increase when exercise begins, but regular and consistent exercise is beneficial. The programme should be adapted to you.
Can I discuss injections?+
Yes. We explain the evidence, likely role, risks, alternatives and whether a particular option is clinically appropriate.
