Knee pain treatment with Physiotherapy

The initial aim of treatment is to reduce the pain, inflammation and swelling using a combination of ultrasound, taping, massage and stretches.

As healing progresses we work on the movement and strength of the knee using mobilising techniques and exercises. As the rehabilitation progresses we look to increase balance and stability so helping prevent the injury recurring.

Finally treatment becomes more specific to the patients sport or activity

The quicker we start the better the outcome.

Structures in the knee and what goes wrong

There are two main joints within the knee.
The main knee joint where the thigh bone (femur) sits on top of the shin bone (tibia).
The knee cap (patella) sits in a groove on top of the thigh bone (femur) and can move up and down with bending. Cartilage covers the ends of all the bones and behind the knee cap. Various types of arthritis can affect the knee. The most common being osteoarthritis when the cartilage becomes worn, rough and inflamed causing severe pain with walking and climbing stairs.

Within the main joint are two menisci- thick rings of cartilage to help fit the bones together and provide shock absorption.

They can be torn or damaged-especially with twisting injuries making it difficult to walk or straighten the knee. It may also lock or give way.

Within the knee joint there are many fluid filled sacs, called bursae. These protect the tendons from rubbing on bones and becoming worn.

Bursae may become aggravated and inflamed causing pain and swelling with walking or kneeling (housemaids knee)

The knee is reinforced at each side by two ligaments: (medial and lateral collateral ligaments).

Deep within the knee joint are two more ligaments. (Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.)

These provide stability and strength and may be stretched or torn especially with a twisting injury resulting in pain, swelling and instability
