Is This you?
Knee pain can present in many different ways depending on the structures involved and your activity level. You may benefit from physiotherapy if you are experiencing:
Pain when walking, running or squatting
Knee pain during gym or sport
Clicking, locking or instability in the knee
Pain when going up or down stairs
Swelling or stiffness around the knee joint
Pain during lunges, jumping or lifting
Recurring knee discomfort or flare-ups
Knee symptoms often worsen when movement confidence reduces or strength around the joint decreases. Early assessment can help prevent symptoms becoming long-term or recurring.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can develop from overload, changes in movement patterns, or traumatic injury. Some of the most common conditions we assess and treat include:
Patellofemoral pain (runner’s knee)
Ligament injuries including ACL injuries
Meniscus irritation or tears
Patellar tendon irritation
Muscle imbalance or reduced joint support
Gym or sport-related knee injuries
Knee pain often develops due to a combination of factors, including training load, movement mechanics, previous injuries and lifestyle demands. Identifying contributing factors is a key part of successful rehabilitation.
