Knee Pain

Get your knee moving. Get back to doing what matters.

Knee pain can quickly change how much you do.

Walking becomes uncomfortable. Stairs become something you think about. You stop running. Squats disappear from your training. Football gets put on hold. Even getting up from a chair can become frustrating.

Whether your knee pain appeared suddenly or gradually built over time, we’ll help you understand what’s happening, get things settled and work towards getting you back to the things that matter.

How we help

Start with understanding you.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing your knee pain before coming to see us.

We’ll start by understanding when your symptoms began, where you feel them, what aggravates them and what your knee is stopping you from doing.

We’ll then assess the areas relevant to your symptoms. This may include your knee movement, strength and mobility, alongside tasks such as squatting, stepping, walking, running or jumping where appropriate. If you’ve injured your knee during sport or following a twist, fall or impact, we can also carry out relevant clinical tests to help establish which structures may be involved.

From there, we’ll explain what we think is happening and help you understand what comes next.

Understanding your symptoms

Common causes of knee pain

Knee pain can develop gradually through activity or follow a more obvious injury.

Problems we commonly assess include:

You may already have been given a diagnosis or have an MRI or X-ray result.

Or you might simply know that your knee hurts when you walk, squat, run or play sport.

Either way, we’ll look at how your knee is actually affecting you rather than treating a diagnosis or scan result in isolation.

  • Patellofemoral pain
  • Patellar tendinopathy
  • Meniscus injuries
  • ACL injuries
  • MCL and other ligament injuries
  • Muscle and tendon injuries around the knee
  • Iliotibial band-related pain
  • Running-related knee pain
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Sports and gym-related knee injuries
  • Persistent or recurring knee pain
  • Rehabilitation following previous knee injury or surgery

01 / Find a starting point

First, let's get things settled.

When your knee is painful, the first stage is often about helping you move more comfortably and finding a level of activity you can manage.

Depending on your assessment, that might involve temporarily adapting aggravating activities, advice around managing your symptoms, appropriate movement and exercise or hands-on treatment where we think it could be useful.

We don’t necessarily want you to stop everything.

The aim is to find a sensible starting point that allows you to begin moving forward.

02 / Get back to what matters

Then we'll build your knee back up.

Feeling better is important.

But if your knee still isn’t ready for what you want to do, there’s more work to be done.

We’ll gradually build the strength, movement and physical capacity you need for your goal.

For one person, that might mean walking comfortably, managing the stairs and getting through a day at work.

For someone else, it’s squatting and lifting in the gym, running a 10K, getting back onto the football pitch or returning to competitive sport.

Your rehabilitation should prepare your knee for the life you want to get back to.
