​Are you experiencing pain around the front, sides, or even the back or your knee? Does your knee feel stiff after you’ve been in one position for a while or first thing in the morning? Is your knee giving you issues with weight bearing activities? You may even find that your knee swells after certain activities.

Your diagnosis will depend on what aggravates your knee pain. You might experience pain when squatting, going up and down stairs, kneeling, bending or straightening your knee to end range, walking, running and other sporting activities. Stiffness after being in one position for a prolonged period, whether sitting or first thing in the morning is also common.

Your symptoms require an in-depth assessment. We'll often start with you telling me about your experience, followed by a few questions about your problem.

At this point we should have a good idea about what is causing your problem. We are then likely to complete a physical examination. During the physical examination we will work together to really pinpoint your area of pain. Importantly, we will go through the activities you struggling with to see if we can adapt them in some way to improve your pain in your first session. This should also mean you can keep you doing the activity rather than stopping completely.

Once we've done this we can consider a bespoke treatment plan, tailored exactly to your needs. This can be done both in person and online.

In most cases, physiotherapy will be an appropriate first line treatment prior to considering more invasive action like injection or surgery.
