● CONDITION · KNEE PAIN

Hands-on treatment for knee pain

Knee pain can affect everything from a daily walk to sport, exercise, and simply getting up from a chair, with causes ranging from a specific injury to gradual wear and overuse.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your knee pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause.

Does this describe you?

  • Your knee hurts going up or down stairs, or when standing up after sitting for a while
  • You've noticed clicking, grinding, or a catching sensation in your knee
  • Your knee sometimes feels like it might give way, or feels unstable
  • Running, squatting, or exercise brings on pain around or behind your kneecap
  • You had a twist, fall, or sudden injury, and it's never quite felt right since
  • Your knee is swollen, stiff, or feels warm to the touch
  • Pain has crept in gradually, without any specific injury you can point to
  • You've tried rest and painkillers, but the pain keeps returning once you're active again

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what we help patients with, every day.

DIAGNOSIS

Types of Knee Pain We Treat

Each one needs a different treatment approach — which is why the first appointment exists to identify exactly which is yours.

Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)

Pain around or behind the kneecap, often caused by muscular imbalance, poor kneecap tracking, or increased activity load, and one of the most common causes of knee pain in active people.

Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL)

Damage to one of the knee's stabilising ligaments, typically caused by a twisting injury, sudden change of direction, or direct impact, ranging from mild sprain to a complete tear.

Meniscus Tears

Damage to the cartilage cushioning the knee joint, often caused by a twisting movement, and common both in sporting injuries and gradual age-related wear.

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Age-related wear of the cartilage within the knee joint, typically causing stiffness, swelling, and pain that gradually worsens over time, particularly with activity.

IT Band Syndrome

Pain on the outside of the knee caused by irritation of the iliotibial band, common in runners and cyclists, particularly when increasing training load.

Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee)

Pain and irritation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shin, common in sports involving jumping or repeated impact.

Bursitis

Inflammation of one of the fluid-filled sacs cushioning the knee joint, often causing localised swelling, tenderness, and pain with kneeling or prolonged pressure.

Post-Surgical Knee Rehabilitation

Support for patients recovering from knee surgery, including ligament reconstruction or joint replacement, helping restore strength, movement, and confidence in the joint.

— OUR APPROACH —

How we can help.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your knee pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause.

Knee pain has a wide range of possible causes — ligament, cartilage, tendon, or joint-related — and getting the diagnosis right matters, since the wrong treatment approach can leave you stuck with symptoms for far longer than necessary. We start with a thorough clinical assessment of your knee, alongside your movement pattern and any relevant training or activity history, to properly identify what's actually driving your pain.

Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may combine hands-on osteopathy and physiotherapy to restore joint mobility and address surrounding muscular imbalance, targeted rehabilitation and strengthening exercises, and — for chronic tendon conditions like jumper's knee — shockwave therapy, one of the most well-evidenced treatments available.

Our aim isn't just to settle your knee pain temporarily, but to rebuild strength and stability in the joint, so you can get back to the activity, sport, or daily life that pain has been holding you back from.
