Expert assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation for all types of knee pain -- from ACL injuries and meniscus tears to runner's knee and post-surgical recovery. Delivered by chartered physiotherapists at a CQC-registered clinic.
Knee pain can present in many ways. If any of these sound familiar, physiotherapy can help.
Pain when walking, climbing stairs, squatting, or bending the knee -- often indicating ligament or meniscus involvement.
Swollen knee with reduced range of motion, often worse after activity or prolonged sitting.
Feeling that the knee might buckle or give way, common with ACL injuries and quadriceps weakness.
Anterior knee pain, IT band syndrome, or runner's knee that worsens with increased mileage.
Mechanical symptoms such as catching, clicking, or the knee locking in position -- often related to meniscal tears.
Aching knee pain that persists at rest, disrupts sleep, or is present first thing in the morning.
Knee pain can be caused by injury, overuse, biomechanical issues, or degenerative changes. Our physiotherapists identify the root cause to guide effective treatment.
ACL, MCL, PCL, and LCL tears or sprains -- common in football, rugby, skiing, and pivoting sports. Often require structured rehabilitation to restore stability and confidence. Visit our sports injury clinic for more details.
Tears to the meniscus cartilage from twisting movements or degeneration. Can cause catching, locking, and swelling. Physiotherapy is the first-line treatment for most meniscal injuries.
Pain around or behind the kneecap, often aggravated by running, squatting, or stairs. Usually caused by biomechanical factors that respond well to targeted physiotherapy and gait analysis.
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), IT band syndrome, and hamstring tendon issues. Common in runners, cyclists, and court sport athletes.
Recovery after ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, or knee replacement. Structured physio is essential for optimal outcomes and return to sport or daily activity.
Degenerative knee pain that responds well to physiotherapy, exercise prescription, and load management. Evidence strongly supports physio as first-line treatment for knee OA.

Recovery varies by condition. Here are typical timelines for common knee problems treated with physiotherapy.
4-8 weeks
Most patellofemoral pain responds well to load management, strengthening, and biomechanical correction within 4-8 weeks.
6-12 weeks
Non-surgical meniscal injuries typically recover in 6-12 weeks with structured physiotherapy and progressive loading.
9-12 months
Full return to sport after ACL reconstruction typically takes 9-12 months of structured rehabilitation with milestone-based progression.
