Expert Physiotherapy for Lasting Knee Pain Relief
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL sprains or tears) – Common in sports and sudden twisting movements.
Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) – Pain around the kneecap, often due to poor biomechanics or muscle imbalances.
Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinopathy) – Overuse injury affecting the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shin, often seen in athletes.
Meniscus Tears – Damage to the cartilage in the knee, often causing swelling, stiffness, and difficulty bending or straightening the leg.
Knee Osteoarthritis – Wear-and-tear arthritis leading to joint stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility, commonly affecting older adults.
Bursitis – Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs cushioning the knee joint, often caused by prolonged kneeling or repetitive stress.
IT Band Syndrome – A condition where the iliotibial band becomes tight and inflamed, causing pain on the outside of the knee, particularly in runners.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation – Recovery support following knee surgeries, such as ACL reconstruction or knee replacement, to regain strength and mobility.
