Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease commonly experienced by older adults and often causes knee pain that interferes with daily activities. One of the non-pharmacological interventions used to reduce Osteoarthritis pain is rheumatic exercise, which aims to improve joint flexibility and decrease pain intensity. This case study aims to identify the effect of implementing rheumatic exercise on reducing knee pain levels in an older adult with Osteoarthritis. The subject was a 70-year-old patient experiencing knee pain related to Osteoarthritis. The intervention was carried out for 15–20 minutes according to nursing procedures. The results showed a decrease in the pain scale as well as improvements in comfort and mobility. Rheumatic exercise proved beneficial as a supportive intervention in managing knee pain in older adults.
