Knee
Knees take load from both the hip and the foot, so treating the knee alone often is not enough. We assess the whole chain, then build a plan that gets you back to what you actually want to do.
Conditions we treat
Each of these has its own page explaining what causes it, what you are likely to notice, and how we treat it. If you are not sure which one fits, that is what the assessment is for.
Signs and symptoms
- Pain at the front of the knee on stairs or squatting
- Swelling that comes on after activity
- Locking, catching or the knee giving way
- Stiffness after sitting for a while
- Reduced confidence on uneven ground
How we treat it
- Quadriceps, hamstring and glute strengthening
- Movement and landing technique retraining
- Manual therapy and taping for symptom relief
- Structured return-to-run and return-to-sport plans
- Hydrotherapy for early-stage or post-operative loading
This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Symptoms overlap between conditions, so the right treatment depends on an assessment. If your pain followed a significant injury, is getting worse, or comes with numbness, weakness or unexplained weight loss, please see your GP.
