What is Knee Pain?

The knee joint is a complex movement that must support your body weight and move smoothly over the thigh bone and shin bone while keeping your kneecaps in place. This movement happens while supported by surrounding ligaments and muscles. When these parts become inflamed and injured, pain is sure to follow.

Knee pain can be a sharp, sudden pain and/or a lingering ache and may include:

Pain while walking
Swelling, stiffness, and redness
Popping, clicking, and grinding
Instability and weak knee

Knee pain, if left untreated, may develop into more complex musculoskeletal conditions. Physiotherapy can help alleviate and treat knee pain by addressing and relieving the pain.

Clamshells

Targets the gluteus medius, supporting hip-knee alignment and reducing strain on the joint.

Side-Lying Hip Abduction

Strengthens the outer hip to improve stability and balance.

Lying Knee Bends

Promotes gentle movement and circulation in the knee joint.

Seated Knee Extension

Strengthens the quadriceps using a chair-based position, useful for lower-impact rehab.

Lack of Physical Activity

Sports activities can strain your knee, especially if it is a new sport and your knee may not have had adequate rest.

Past Knee Injuries

Past injury may have weakened your knee, thus exposing it to pain.

  I’ve spent the past 6 months here rehabbing my right ankle after surgery, and I can confidently say this place has played a huge part in getting me back on my feet — literally. From day one, the team was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. My physiotherapist Magdalene took the time to understand my condition, set realistic goals, and adjust the program as I progressed. Each session was focused and encouraging, with just the right balance of pushing limits while respecting recovery pace. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and has a calm, supportive atmosphere — something I came to really appreciate during the ups and downs of rehab. I’ve gone from struggling to walk without pain to regaining strength, confidence, and mobility — and I couldn’t have done it without their guidance. Highly recommend for anyone needing structured, caring, and results-driven physiotherapy.

  After a disappointing experience with physiotherapy at a government hospital, I decided to switch to The Physio Circle — and I’m so glad I did. Under Magdalene’s care for the past 3 months, I’ve made remarkable progress in my recovery from ACL reconstruction surgery. She tailored a specialised rehabilitation program that focused on restoring my muscle strength and agility. Every session felt personalised and purposeful, and her dedication, knowledge, and encouragement made a world of difference. Thank you, Magdalene, for your professionalism and genuine care. I finally feel like I’m on the right path to full recovery!

  5 Stars – Highly Recommended! I recently had the unfortunate experience of spraining my ankle (high grade ligament tear), and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Magdalene to guide me through the recovery process. From the very first session, she made me feel at ease with a clear treatment plan, a positive attitude, and expert knowledge. Each appointment was tailored to my needs and progress. The exercises were effective yet manageable, and she took the time to explain the “why” behind every movement, which made a big difference in my motivation and understanding. I especially appreciated the encouragement and patience throughout – it made the whole experience feel much more personal and empowering. Thanks to, Magdalene I’m now back on my feet. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing physiotherapy, whether for a sprained ankle or anything else.

  I injured my back lifting heavy weights at the gym. My doctor referred me to Maheen at Physiocircle and I cannot recommend her enough. I’m happy to report that I’m now pain free. Disc herniations can be extremely painful but under the right care, one can make a full recovery.
