Common Causes of Knee Pain

  •  Sports Injuries: High-impact activities, sudden twists, and overuse can strain ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
  • Accidents: Falls, car accidents, and other unexpected events can lead to serious knee injuries.
  • Arthritis: Conditions like osteoarthritis can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  • Overuse Injuries: Repetitive motions from activities like running, jumping, or even prolonged sitting can cause pain.

  • Meniscus Tears: Damage to the cartilage within the knee joint.
  • Knee Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the knee.
  • Patellar Tendinitis: “Jumper’s knee” caused by overuse of the tendon.

  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery after total knee replacement, arthroscopy, or ligament repairs.

Our Approach to Knee Pain Physiotherapy Treatment

Thorough Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your specific condition, medical history, and activity level.  This can include questions from our physiotherapist, as well as hands on testing and functional tests to assess the strength of the knee structures.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Our physiotherapists create customized treatment plans that may include:

  • Manual Therapy Techniques like massage, trigger point release, scar tissue breakdown, and mobilization to improve joint mobility and reduce pain.
  • Therapeutic Exercise – Strength training, stretching, and balance exercises to improve stability and function.
  • Electrotherapy Techniques like ultrasound and electrical stimulation to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Modalities – Kinesio taping, acupuncture, and other modalities to accelerate healing.
  • Pain Management Strategies – We teach you effective pain management techniques to help you cope with discomfort during your recovery.
  • Injury Prevention and Return to Functional Activity Training – We provide guidance on proper movement mechanics, injury prevention strategies, and exercises to reduce the risk of future knee problems.
