Abstract	Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, non-inflammatory, degenerative joint disease with Knee OA being the most prevalent one with main factor of disability among middle-aged and older people worldwide. Age and repetitive mechanical loads being the main causative factors, it shows pain Knee range to be painful. Techniques like IFT and wet packs, physiotherapy seeks to reduce signs and symptoms including pain and oedema. Non-weight-bearing muscle-strengthening exercises have been shown to be useful. Methodology: A Case series was carried out by the Interns on Patients having osteoarthritis of knee who visited Physiotherapy OPD, Dhiraj Hospital, with a minimal sample size of 5 cases, for the study duration of 3 Months. The Inclusion Criteria for the study were: Both Male and Female patients with Age 40-70 years, Patients diagnosed with Unilateral/bilateral OA knee, willing to perform physical therapy exercise, having Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 1 & 2 graded by radiologist. Outcome Measures used were: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Western Ontario and McMaster universities arthritis index (WOMAC), Repetition Maximum (RM), Goniometery. Result: The results showed decrease in pain, Increase ROM of knee ranges, improve strength of the muscles and better functional performance Conclusion: It was observed that Physiotherapy improved knee range of motion, muscle strength, pain and physical function in patient with osteoarthritis of knee.
