Knee Pain Treatment in Redditch: A Guide on How to Take the First Steps in Fixing Your Knee Pain

What Is Knee Pain and Why Does It Happen?

Understanding How the Knee Works

The knee is a synovial hinge joint that allows movement between the femur and tibia. It is a complex joint due to the number of structures involved in maintaining stability, such as ligaments, tendons, and the meniscus. The demographic of people who experience knee pain can vary from young, sporty adolescents to 80-year-olds with osteoarthritis. However, the management plans for each cohort are very different.

Common Knee Injuries We See at Our Clinic

At our clinic, we treat a full range of knee injuries—from sports-related conditions like ACL ruptures to age-related issues such as osteoarthritis or meniscus degeneration. No matter the condition, physiotherapy can play a vital role in managing or resolving the issue.

What Causes Knee Pain in Our Patients

Sports Injuries and Overuse

Athletes are among the most prone to knee pain. These injuries can arise from specific trauma or overuse. For example, if someone twists their knee awkwardly during sport, they may experience an ACL rupture or a meniscus tear. On the other hand, a long-distance runner may develop overuse conditions such as tendinopathy or a stress fracture.

Osteoarthritis and Age-Related Conditions

Osteoarthritis is something that will affect all of us with time. It's our body’s way of ageing—just like hair going grey or skin becoming less elastic. While not everyone with osteoarthritis experiences pain, for some it can lead to intense discomfort and a reduced quality of life. Physiotherapy can help manage this pain and get you back to the activities and hobbies you love.

Signs You Should See a Physio for Your Knee Pain

Swelling, Instability, and Pain

If you’ve had a traumatic knee injury and your knee is swollen, feels unstable, and is causing significant pain, you should see a physiotherapist as soon as possible.

Running-Related Knee Pain

If you’re a runner and can’t get on top of your knee pain, it has the potential to worsen. Seek physiotherapy treatment early to prevent further issues.

When Knee Pain Affects Your Quality of Life

If knee pain is preventing you from doing the things you love, it’s time to get assessed by a physiotherapist. Knee pain doesn’t have to be a life sentence—simple strategies and exercises may transform your life.

Your clinician will perform a hands-on assessment and a variety of knee tests to help diagnose the issue. All of our chartered physiotherapists are highly skilled and deliver accurate diagnoses.
