Common Knee Conditions We Treat
Knee pain can develop suddenly following an injury or gradually over weeks and months. Understanding the factors contributing to your symptoms is an important first step towards recovery.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty with everyday activities. Physiotherapy can help improve strength, mobility and confidence through individualised exercise and advice.
Meniscus Injuries
Meniscus injuries can cause pain, swelling, catching and difficulty bending or twisting the knee. Treatment depends on the nature of the injury, your symptoms and your activity goals.
Patellofemoral Pain
Pain around or behind the kneecap is common in runners, gym-goers and active adults. Rehabilitation often involves progressive strengthening, activity modification and addressing factors contributing to excessive joint loading.
Patellar Tendinopathy
Sometimes called jumper's knee, patellar tendinopathy commonly affects people involved in running, jumping and sport. Progressive loading programmes are central to rehabilitation.
Knee Ligament Injuries
We assess and rehabilitate injuries affecting the ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL, helping patients restore strength, stability and confidence following injury.
Rehabilitation After Knee Surgery
Whether you've undergone a knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, meniscus surgery or another procedure, we provide progressive rehabilitation tailored to your operation, surgical guidance and recovery goals.
