01
Assessment before treatment
The source of symptoms must be identified before deciding whether either therapy is appropriate. The same approach is not suitable for every painful knee.
02
Part of a wider care plan
When appropriate, these options are considered alongside other necessary measures. Goals, contraindications, alternatives and possible discomfort are discussed.
03
Reviewing the response
Symptoms and progress guide follow-up. The number of sessions and whether to continue depend on individual assessment.
