Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common joint disease, lowers quality of life, restricts social activity participation, and results in incapacity. Osteoarthritis is characterised by changes in subchondral bone, meniscus degeneration, cartilage loss, and synovial inflammation. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of this disease. Various treatment approaches have been shown in numerous studies to be successful in improving the condition of individuals with osteoarthritis in the knee. We are presenting a case of a 47-year-old woman who had bilateral osteoarthritis in her knees...
