Knee Pain: Causes and Who It Affects
Knee pain is one of the most common reasons patients visit VPARC. It affects people of all ages — from young athletes with ACL tears to elderly patients with osteoarthritis. At VPARC in Varanasi, Dr. Prashant Punj has treated thousands of knee conditions using advanced physiotherapy protocols that deliver lasting relief.
Common knee conditions treated at VPARC include: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ACL and PCL ligament injuries, meniscal tears, patellofemoral pain syndrome, IT band syndrome, post-total knee replacement (TKR) rehabilitation, and chronic knee stiffness.
VPARC's Knee Rehabilitation Approach
Our knee rehab protocol begins with a detailed biomechanical assessment — examining gait, alignment, muscle strength, and joint mobility. Treatment is built around the specific diagnosis, not a generic exercise sheet.
- Manual Therapy — Joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, myofascial therapy
- Strength & Neuromuscular Training — Progressive quadriceps, hamstring, and hip strengthening
- Electrotherapy — IFT, TENS, therapeutic ultrasound for pain management
- Proprioceptive Training — Balance and coordination exercises to prevent re-injury
- Post-TKR Rehabilitation — Specialised protocol from day 1 post-surgery through full functional recovery
Post-Knee Replacement Physiotherapy
VPARC is a preferred post-operative physiotherapy centre for patients after total knee replacement in Varanasi. Dr. Prashant Punj has personally supervised recovery for hundreds of TKR patients. Early mobilisation and targeted rehab significantly reduce hospital readmission risk and restore full function faster.
