What is Knee Pain?

The knee is a complex joint responsible for weight-bearing and movement. It connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia) and involves several soft tissue structures, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. When any of these are irritated, inflamed, or injured, pain can result.

Knee pain can be acute or chronic and may present as:

Discomfort during walking or climbing stairs
Swelling, stiffness, or redness
Popping or grinding sensations
Instability or weakness

Ignoring knee pain can lead to compensatory movement patterns and more complex musculoskeletal issues. Physiotherapy aims to address the root causes of pain, restore normal joint function, and prevent further injury through a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, and education.

Common Exercises for Knee Pain

Quad Sets

Helps maintain strength without joint movement.

Straight Leg Raise

Strengthens the quadriceps without bending the knee, ideal in early recovery phases.

Hamstring Stretch

Keeps the muscles at the back of the thighs flexible, relieving tension on the knee.

Standing Calf Raises

Improves lower limb strength and stability, important for walking and climbing.

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.

Sit-To-Stand Exercise

Functional movement to build leg strength needed for daily activities.

Half Squats

Teaches control and strength-building without excessive knee load.

Step-Ups

Builds strength and mimics stair climbing.

Risk Factors of Knee Pain

Obesity

Excess weight increases the stress on knee joints, accelerating wear and tear.

A Sedentary Lifestyle

Lack of regular movement can lead to weakness and stiffness, making the knee more vulnerable to injury.

Sports Activities

High-impact or repetitive sports can stress knee structures, especially with poor technique or insufficient recovery.

Past Knee Injuries

Old injuries can leave behind instability or weakness, increasing the likelihood of future problems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Knee Pain Physiotherapy

When should I see a physiotherapist for knee pain?

If you’ve had knee pain for more than a few days, or if your mobility is affected, a physiotherapist can help identify the cause and provide relief.

How long does it take to recover from knee pain with physiotherapy?

Recovery timelines vary, but many individuals begin seeing improvements within a few weeks. Your programme will be adjusted as you progress.

Will my knee pain get worse if I continue exercising?

Some discomfort is normal, but sharp or increasing knee pain may signal the need to adjust your exercise routine. If you are in post-op rehab or in sports injury physiotherapy, let your physio know so he or she can recommend safe modifications.

How can I prevent knee pain from recurring?

Regular strengthening, good movement habits, and addressing issues early all contribute to long-term joint health.

I need scans or X-rays before starting physiotherapy?

Not always. Your physiotherapist will assess whether imaging is necessary based on your history and physical exam.
