Treatment at iPersonal Physiotherapy
Knee pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages, from active individuals and athletes to those experiencing age-related joint changes. Because the knee plays a key role in walking, climbing stairs, squatting, and running, pain in this joint can significantly limit daily activities.
At iPersonal Physiotherapy, we provide expert assessment and personalised treatment for knee pain. Our aim is to reduce discomfort, improve stability and strength, and help you return to movement safely and confidently.
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain refers to discomfort affecting the knee joint and surrounding structures, including cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Pain may develop gradually due to overuse or appear suddenly following injury.
It may be felt:
At the front of the knee
Around or behind the kneecap
On the inside or outside of the knee
At the back of the knee
Common Symptoms
You may experience:
Pain when walking or climbing stairs
Discomfort during squatting or kneeling
Swelling around the joint
Clicking, catching, or instability
Stiffness after sitting
Reduced range of motion
In some cases, knee pain may be linked to hip or ankle mechanics.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can arise from several conditions, including:
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Pain around the kneecap often related to muscle imbalance or overload.
Tendinopathy
Irritation of the patellar tendon (sometimes called “jumper’s knee”).
Ligament Injury
Sprains or tears affecting structures such as the ACL, MCL, or LCL.
Meniscus Injury
Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint changes causing stiffness and pain.
Overuse or Sports Injury
Repetitive strain from running, jumping, or pivoting movements.
