About My Knee Exercise
My Knee Exercise has been developed and designed by researchers within the Centre for Health, Exercise & Sports Medicine (CHESM)
It has been designed for people over 45 years of age experiencing persistent knee pain or osteoarthritis. The website’s purpose is to provide evidence-based educational information about knee osteoarthritis, knee pain, exercise and physical activity. It also provides exercise instructions to help people manage their painful knee condition.
The My Knee Exercise website has been evaluated in a clinical research trial. Results of the trial showed the My Knee Exercise website with text message support reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
