Knee Pain Physiotherapy
Knee pain is a common lower-limb problem and may be felt at the front, inner side, outer side, or back of the knee. It can affect walking, stairs, squatting, sport, and daily activities. The issue is often not only where the pain is located, but also how it affects movement, loading tolerance, and overall function.
If your knee symptoms have come on more gradually and stiffness is more obvious, especially after rest or on stairs, you may also refer to [Knee Osteoarthritis Physiotherapy].
Common symptoms
- Knee pain, aching, or local tenderness
- Discomfort with walking, stairs, squatting, or getting up
- Stiffness or reduced knee movement
- In some cases, swelling, weakness, or a sense of instability
How physiotherapy assesses
Physiotherapy assessment usually includes the location of symptoms, how the problem started, which activities are most affected, and the movement, strength, loading tolerance, and overall function of the knee and lower limb. Gait and hip-knee-ankle mechanics may also be reviewed to help clarify the likely pattern of knee pain.
How physiotherapy may help
Physiotherapy may help through mobility work, strengthening, movement control training, functional rehabilitation, and load-management advice. The aim is to improve knee function, daily activity tolerance, and return to movement progressively.
