Great, RECENT study! As a dual licensed physical and massage therapist, I am happy to see that research shows the validity of both types of treatment... Conclusion: "Swedish Massage and Hip Strengthening Exercises mitigate Knee Osteoarthritis pain, with Swedish Massage uniquely enhancing daily function, supporting integration into clinical practice to promote independence and reduce healthcare burdens in aging populations."
“Aims: To compare the effects of Swedish massage (SM) and hip strengthening exercises (HSE) versus control on pain, range of motion (ROM), and function in older adults with Knee osteoarthritis (KOA).” https://bit.ly/4qecaFA
