Knee pain

What is Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a common complaint that can range from acute injuries, such as sprains or tears, to chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or post-surgery recovery. The knee joint is crucial for movement, and pain in this area can significantly impact your ability to walk, exercise, and perform daily activities. At movéo physio, we specialise in providing personalised, evidence-based treatments for knee pain to help you restore movement, reduce discomfort, and prevent future injuries.

When to See a Physiotherapist

You should consider seeing a physiotherapist if:

  • You experience persistent pain or discomfort in the knee that lasts for several days or worsens with activity.
  • You have difficulty bending, straightening, or bearing weight on the knee.
  • Swelling, bruising, or instability occurs in the knee joint.
  • You notice a clicking, locking, or feeling of weakness in the knee.
  • Knee pain limits your ability to engage in physical activities, sports, or daily routines.

Early intervention can prevent further damage and improve your long-term recovery.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing and treating knee pain:

  • Pain Relief: Techniques such as manual therapy, soft tissue mobilisation, and modalities like ice or heat therapy can reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Movement Restoration: Stretches and joint mobilisation exercises improve range of motion and flexibility in the knee.
  • Strengthening: Tailored exercises strengthen the muscles around the knee, improving stability and function.
  • Posture & Gait Correction: Physiotherapists can assess your posture and walking patterns, offering advice on how to move more efficiently to reduce strain on the knee.
  • Rehabilitation: After surgery or injury, physiotherapy provides structured rehabilitation to help you safely return to activity and prevent re-injury.

With personalised treatment, we aim to help you manage knee pain, restore function, and get back to doing the things you love.
