Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. The regimen which I advise to my patients is: - low impact exercises - quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises - long brisk walks for about 2-3 km every day in morning - to avoid squatting, sitting cross legged and anything which eccentrically loads the knee joint. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
