Knee Pain

Knee Pain

Pain in the knee can stem from various conditions, including but not limited to patellofemoral pain syndrome (commonly known as runner’s knee), patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), knee arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and bursitis. Factors such as sudden increases in load, alterations in loading patterns, and acute injuries can contribute to the development of knee pain. Additionally, poor posture, incorrect positioning of the pelvis, hips, or feet, as well as weakened leg muscles, can result in increased stress on the knee joint itself.

When you consult with our physiotherapists regarding your knee pain, they will conduct a thorough examination of your pain history and may assess other areas such as your back, hips, and feet. This comprehensive evaluation is essential for creating a tailored treatment plan that addresses the specific factors contributing to your knee pain.
