Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that may arise from acute injury, overuse, biomechanical dysfunction, or degenerative changes. It can present as pain, swelling, stiffness, instability, or difficulty with walking, squatting, and sporting activities. Physiotherapy interventions focus on reducing pain, restoring strength and mobility, and preventing further injury.
Common knee conditions treated include:
- Ligament injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL sprains/tears)
- Meniscal tears
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee)
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
