Knee pain is one of the most debilitating conditions we treat. Because your knees bear your full body weight with every step, a small issue can quickly become a major roadblock to walking, climbing stairs, or even just standing up from a chair.
Whether your pain is a sharp twinge below the kneecap (often "runner's knee"), a deep ache inside the joint (potentially osteoarthritis), or instability after a twist, ignoring it often makes it worse.
Stop Treating Just the Symptom
Many people rely on painkillers or knee braces. While these offer temporary relief, they do not fix the underlying mechanical issue causing the pain. If your knee hurts, it is often because other areas—like weak hips, tight ankles, or poor foot mechanics—are forcing the knee to take too much load.
Our Evidence-Based Approach to Knee Pain
At our clinic, we get to the root cause. Our physiotherapy protocol for knee pain typically involves:
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve the sliding and gliding movement of the knee joint and relax tight surrounding muscles (quads, hamstrings, calves).
- Targeted Strengthening: The knee relies on the muscles around it for stability. We focus on strengthening your quadriceps and, crucially, your glutes (hip muscles), which control the alignment of your entire leg.
- Load Management: We guide you on how much activity is safe right now, and how to gradually increase it without flaring up the pain.
Try This: The "Sit-to-Stand" Test
Next time you stand up from a chair, pay attention. Do your knees cave inward towards each other? Do you have to use your hands to push off heavily? These are signs of weak hip and leg muscles, putting immense strain on your knee joints. We can teach you how to move correctly.
