Knee pain is a common issue that can result from injury, overuse, aging, or conditions like arthritis. It can affect mobility, making activities like walking, climbing stairs, or exercising difficult and painful.
Physiotherapy is highly effective in treating knee pain by addressing the root causes and focusing on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving flexibility, and enhancing joint function. Techniques such as manual therapy, targeted exercises, and posture correction can help alleviate pain and prevent further injury.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition, physiotherapy can provide significant relief and improve knee function. A personalized treatment plan can help you return to your daily activities pain-free and maintain long-term knee health.
Knee pain is a prevalent condition that can affect individuals of all ages, and it is one of the most common types of body pain experienced. If you’re dealing with knee pain, you might encounter symptoms such as:
- A crunching or popping sound in your knee
- Inability to fully straighten your knee
- Weakness or instability in the knee
- Swelling or stiffness in the knee
Knee pain can result from various causes, including injuries like fractures, torn meniscus, or knee bursitis. It can also be due to mechanical issues such as a loose body in the joint, a dislocated kneecap, or iliotibial band syndrome. In some cases, arthritis-related conditions such as gout, septic arthritis, or pseudogout may contribute to knee pain. The best approach to determine the cause of your knee pain is to consult with your GP.
Physiotherapy for Knee Pain
Physiotherapy plays an essential role in managing and treating knee pain. If you’re experiencing knee pain, it’s crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis. A skilled physiotherapist can assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
The primary goals of physiotherapy sessions typically include reducing pain and stiffness, preventing pain recurrence, and improving the range of motion in the knee. Depending on your condition, the treatments will vary. While complete pain relief might not always be possible, physiotherapy can significantly help reduce or manage the discomfort.
