Physiotherapy for Knee Pain
Knee pain can make everyday life feel much harder than it should be – walking, climbing stairs, exercising or even just getting up from a chair can become painful and frustrating.
Whether your knee pain has come on gradually or started after an injury, the right treatment can make a big difference.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy helps calm pain, restore movement and rebuild strength so your knee feels more stable and supported.
Treatment can help by:
- Reducing pain, swelling and stiffness
- Improving movement so bending and straightening the knee feels easier
- Strengthening the muscles around your knee, hip and thigh for better support
- Improving balance and control to reduce the risk of further injury
What It’s Like to Have Treatment
Your first appointment starts with a proper conversation about your symptoms, what you can and can’t do, and how it’s affecting your daily life. You’ll then be assessed and given a clear, realistic plan.
Your treatment might include:
- Hands-on treatment to reduce stiffness and improve joint movement
- Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises
- Advice on activity, footwear and training habits
- A simple home programme to help you stay in control of your recovery
