Yes. A landmark 2019 Lancet study found that a personalised, physiotherapist-guided exercise program was as effective as surgery for knee osteoarthritis. Online physiotherapy delivers that same evidence-based exercise protocol, tailored to your grade of OA, your strength levels, and your daily activities.

For most patients with knee OA grades 1–3, physiotherapy should be the first-line treatment — not surgery. Surgery is recommended only when conservative management has failed after an adequate trial. Dr. Ponkhi will assess your case and give an honest, evidence-based recommendation.

Walking is generally beneficial for knee health, but the amount and surface matter enormously. Dr. Ponkhi will prescribe a graduated walking program appropriate for your condition — often starting with short, flat-surface walks and progressively increasing as strength and pain allow.

Yes. ACL, MCL, and PCL injury rehabilitation — whether conservative or post-surgical — can be effectively managed online. The exercise progressions are well-established, and Dr. Ponkhi can accurately assess your range of motion, strength, and function via video.

Mild to moderate knee pain typically shows significant improvement in 4–8 weeks. Post-surgical rehabilitation (knee replacement or ACL reconstruction) typically requires 3–6 months of structured rehab. An accurate timeline will be provided at your Day 1 assessment.
