WHAT WE TREAT
Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common reason people seek physiotherapy. It can affect anyone, from recreational gym-goers and runners to athletes and those trying to stay active. Whether your pain started suddenly during sport or developed gradually, it can make daily activities and training challenging.
At our clinic, we specialise in assessing and treating knee pain using evidence-based rehabilitation, strength training, and personalised movement strategies.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Osteoarthritis (OA)
Osteoarthritis is a frequent cause of knee pain, especially with age or increased training load. It occurs when the protective cartilage in the knee gradually wears down, leading to stiffness, swelling, and discomfort.
Patellar Tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy, often seen in runners, jumpers, or those who change their training routine, is an overuse injury of the tendon beneath the kneecap known as patella tendinopathy.
Meniscus Irritation or Tears
The meniscus serves as a shock-absorbing cushion between the bones of the knee. Sudden twisting or pivoting movement can irritate or tear this cartilage.
Many meniscus injuries improve significantly with structured rehabilitation, and surgery is seldom needed as an initial treatment.
Ligament Injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL or LCL)
Our physiotherapists are experienced in ACL rehabilitation, whether you are preparing for surgery, recovering afterwards, or considering conservative management. We offer clear, progressive guidance at every stage. We understand that an ACL injury can be overwhelming, and we are here to support you through pre-operative programs, post-operative rehabilitation, or conservative treatment.
Straining or tearing these ligaments—often during sport—can be painful. Mild injuries can be managed through rehabilitation, but if we suspect a more severe tear, we may refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon for imaging and possible short-term bracing to support recovery, before we implement
Anterior Knee Pain / Patellofemoral Joint (PFJ) Pain
Pain around or behind the kneecap is common and often relates to how the kneecap tracks in its groove during movement.
With targeted strength training, load management, and movement modifications, this condition can be managed effectively.
Iliotibial Band (ITB) Pain
The iliotibial band is a thick strip of deep fascia that runs along the outside of the leg from the hip to below the knee. Pain may occur when compression or friction affects the surrounding knee structures.
