Knee Pain

Is knee pain affecting your daily life - making it difficult to walk, run, or even manage stairs?

Whether it's a dull ache, sharp twinge, or persistent stiffness, knee pain can make even the simplest tasks feel like a challenge - from walking the dog to using the stairs or getting out of a chair. You might be thinking:

• “Is this something I can manage on my own, or should I get help?”
• “Why does my knee hurt when I walk, run, or squat?”
• “Is this injury going to get worse if I don’t do something now?”
• Can or should I still participate in exercise or sport?
• “Will I need surgery, or are there other options?”

These are valid questions, and the good news is, you’re in the right place to start finding answers.

Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in the UK, affecting people of all ages. It can result from injury, overuse, wear and tear, or poor biomechanics. Some experience pain suddenly after a twist or fall, while others notice a gradual build-up of discomfort that won’t go away.

We regularly help patients with:

• Ligament sprains and tears (e.g. ACL, MCL)
• Cartilage injuries (e.g. meniscus tears)
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain at the front of the knee)
• Iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome
• Runner’s knee and sports-related overuse injuries
• Knee osteoarthritis
• Post-surgical rehabilitation
• Knee stiffness and swelling
• Referred pain from the hip, lower back, or foot mechanics

You might be finding it harder to walk, squat, kneel, or go up and down stairs. Some people experience catching, locking, or instability in the knee. Others simply feel limited - unable to return to the activities they love.

Why Getting Help Matters

Ignoring knee pain or pushing through it may lead to further joint damage, reduced mobility, or longer recovery time. Early assessment helps identify the root cause and gives you the best chance of a full, pain-free return to movement - without relying on painkillers or jumping straight to surgery.

How We Treat Shoulder Pain

Your knee is a complex joint, and we take a thorough, personalised approach to understanding what’s causing your symptoms. After a full clinical assessment, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan based on your condition, lifestyle, and goals.

Treatment may include:

• Manual Therapy – Targeted, hands-on techniques to reduce stiffness, improve joint mobility, and ease tension in the surrounding soft tissues

• Sports Massage – Helps relieve tight or overworked muscles that may be placing stress on the knee

• Kinesiology Taping – Supportive taping can help offload pressure from irritated tissues, improve movement patterns, and reduce pain during activity or sport

• Exercise rehabilitation – Structured, progressive strengthening and mobility programmes to restore function, support joint stability, and prevent recurrence - tailored to your activity level and recovery stage

• Postural and Biomechanical assessment – We’ll assess how your hips, ankles, and feet influence your knee alignment and load - then provide advice or corrective exercises to support long-term improvement

• Education and self-care guidance – We believe in giving you the tools to stay in control of your recovery. You’ll leave each session understanding your condition and what you can do to aid healing between visits

• Electrotherapy – Treatments such as TENS, ultrasound, or interferential therapy may be used to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and promote healing in both acute and chronic knee conditions

• Shockwave Therapy – Non-invasive acoustic wave therapy that stimulates healing and reduces chronic pain, especially in stubborn tendon-related conditions like patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
