What is Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages. From professional athletes to those who are living with arthritis. It may present as aching, swelling, stiffness, or weakness and can significantly affect mobility which is key to living an active lifestyle. If left untreated, it can restrict your ability to stand, walk, climb stairs, or exercise.

What are the causes:
  • Sports injuries such as ligament or meniscus tears
  • Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
  • Overuse injuries from running or repetitive strain
  • Muscle imbalances in the hips, thighs, or calves
  • Being overweight or living a sedentary lifestyle

What treatments can help

Your osteopath will use a variety of gentle and effective techniques, including massage, stretching, and mobilisation on the knee to improve the way it moves with the hip and ankle. They will focus on helping to correct misalignments, improve flexibility, and reduce stiffness.

Your physiotherapist will work to improve knee function with strengthening exercises for the quadriceps and hips, manual therapy for stiff joints, and movement retraining to improve walking and sporting performance.

Your massage therapist will work to release tension in the knee and other parts of the leg, reduce pressure on tendons and ligaments to restore strength and flexibility. They aim to increase your mobility and boost your recovery to get you performing at your best.

Your health coach will work with you to improve your daily lifestyle to help you to manage your knee pain. This will help to take the pressure off your knees when standing and moving. This will reduce the pain and make moving and exercising much more comfortable

How you will feel after treatment

You are likely to notice reduced stiffness, improved mobility, and greater comfort when walking or exercising. In the long term, your pain levels will decrease, your strength will improve, and confidence in movement will be better than ever.
