Knee pain

Knee pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages, from active sports enthusiasts to those experiencing age-related joint changes. It may develop gradually over time or occur suddenly following an injury. Whether your symptoms affect walking, climbing stairs, exercising or everyday activities, our experienced multidisciplinary team will assess the underlying cause of your pain and develop a personalised treatment plan to help you recover.

Common Causes

Knee pain may be caused by:

  • Ligament sprains
  • Meniscus (cartilage) injuries
  • Tendon injuries
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Patellofemoral (kneecap) pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Muscle weakness or imbalance
  • Repetitive strain or overuse

Common Symptoms

Symptoms may include:

  • Pain around the front, side or back of the knee
  • Swelling or stiffness
  • Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
  • Pain during or after exercise

Could Your Knee Pain Be Coming From Somewhere Else?

Pain around the knee isn’t always caused by the knee joint itself. Problems affecting the hip, lower back or the way you walk can place extra strain on the knee and contribute to ongoing symptoms. Our assessment considers how your whole body moves to help identify the underlying cause.
