Personalised Physiotherapy for Knee Pain
Physiotherapy for knee cap pain, osteoarthritis, ligament strains, meniscus tears, ITB syndrome, tendinopathies and bursitis. Assessment, hands-on care, and rehabilitation programmes.
Knee pain is a common problem affecting people of all ages, whether from sport, work, or everyday activities. The knee is a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and supporting muscles, meaning pain can arise from many different structures. Knee pain may develop suddenly after an injury or gradually due to overuse, muscle imbalance, or age-related changes.
At our clinic, we work to identify the exact source of your knee pain and provide targeted treatment to help you restore, maintain and enhance your wellbeing and physical activity.

Common Knee Pain Conditions We Treat
Knee pain can present in many forms, from mild stiffness and swelling to persistent discomfort caused by joint, ligament, or nerve-related issues. Each type of knee pain has its own underlying causes and requires a tailored approach to treatment.
Osteoarthritis
Age related changes in the knee joint causing stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Symptoms may worsen with prolonged activity or first thing in the morning.
Rehabilitation Following Knee Surgery
(Total and Partial Knee Replacement, ACL Reconstruction)
Guided recovery including mobility work, strengthening, and manual therapy to restore confidence and function safely after surgery.
Muscle and Ligament Injuries
Injuries to the muscles or ligaments surrounding the knee from sudden movements, twisting, or direct impact – including anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament.
Strains and Tears
Overstretching or tearing of the muscles or ligaments, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced stability.
Meniscus Tears / Torn Cartilage
Damage to the shock-absorbing cartilage inside the knee, often causing locking, catching, or pain with twisting and bending.
Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome / PFPS)
Pain around, behind or front of the kneecap, commonly caused by overuse, muscle imbalance, or increased load.
Dislocated Kneecap (Patellar Dislocation)
When the kneecap slips out of place, often due to sudden twisting or direct force, causing pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Tendinopathies
Irritation or degeneration of tendons around the knee, such as patellar or quadriceps tendinopathy, usually linked to running, jumping, or repetitive strain.
ITB Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Syndrome)
Pain on the outside of the knee caused by irritation of the iliotibial band, commonly seen in runners and cyclists.
Bursitis
Inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs around the knee, resulting in swelling, tenderness, and discomfort with movement or pressure.
Our Physiotherapy Approach to Knee Pain
Our Physiotherapists or Sports Therapists specialise in identifying what’s causing your sciatica and providing targeted treatment to relieve pain and restore normal movement.
Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a full assessment to understand the cause of your back pain. This includes:
- Detailed discussion about your symptoms
- Strength, range of movement, and functional testing
- Identification of contributing factors such as muscle imbalance, lifestyle, or work setup
This allows us to create a tailored treatment plan that targets your specific needs.
Hands-On Treatment
Our Physiotherapists or Sports Therapists use a range of proven manual therapy techniques, such as:
- Soft tissue release
- Joint mobilisation
- Trigger point therapy
- Myofascial release
- Guided stretching
These methods help reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and support the healing process.
Exercise Rehabilitation
We provide personalised exercise programmes to restore strength, range of movement, and control. This may include:
- Core and spinal stabilisation
- Mobility exercises
- Gradual return-to-work or return-to-sport programmes
Education & Self-Management
We ensure you understand how to manage your symptoms, help prevent flare-ups, and improve long-term back health.
