Knee Pain

Overcome Knee Pain

Knee pain can be a debilitating and frustrating condition, affecting your ability to perform everyday activities and stopping you from running, playing tehniss or going on long walks. At St M Physiotherapy Clinic, we specialise in providing comprehensive, effective solutions for knee pain, helping you get back on your feet and enjoy a pain-free life.

Myth: avoid physical activity if you have knee pain. A common misconception is that you should decrease or avoid physical activity if you have knee pain to prevent further stress on the joints.

Truth: Research has shown that exercise therapy is one of the most effective ways to improve knee function and reduce pain over the long term.

The Importance of Exercise Therapy

Exercise therapy plays a crucial role in managing and alleviating knee pain. Here’s how it works:

  • Strengthening Muscles: Targeted exercises help build the muscles around the knee, providing better support and reducing strain on the joint.
  • Improving Flexibility: Stretching exercises enhance flexibility, which can help reduce stiffness and improve range of motion.
  • Enhancing Joint Stability: Regular exercise helps maintain the stability of the knee joint, preventing injuries and promoting overall joint health.
  • Boosting Circulation: Physical activity increases blood flow, which aids in the healing process and reduces inflammation.

Understanding the Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can arise from various factors, each requiring a tailored approach to treatment. Some common causes include:

  • Ligament Injuries: Damage to the ACL, MCL, or other ligaments from sports or accidents.
  • Meniscus Tears: Tears in the cartilage that provide cushioning in the knee joint.
  • Tendinopathy: Inflammation of the tendons due to overuse or repetitive strain.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction in the knee.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Pain around the kneecap due to misalignment or overuse.
  • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease that wears down cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness.
