Is Physiotherapy The Right Treatment For Knee Joints Pain?

Hello Doctor, My mother is suffering from knee joint pain because of gap in knee joints. She consulted Orthopedic doctor. They have given medicines and asked to use hot water bottle at home. My question is : Do you think physiotherapy would be better ? Is there any type of knee caps or legging which will be pain reliever and give her support in walking and climbing stairs. Thanks a lot !
