Knee Pain Physiotherapy in Leicester

Knee pain is a common complaint in the UK, often associated with sports-related injuries, degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis, or conditions such as patellofemoral pain syndrome. Symptoms typically include swelling, stiffness, and a reduction in knee function, affecting mobility and quality of life. Knee pain physiotherapy is a specialised treatment approach designed to alleviate discomfort, restore mobility, and strengthen the muscles supporting the knee joint. It involves a combination of targeted exercises, manual therapy, and modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat or ice therapy to reduce pain and inflammation. Physiotherapists assess the underlying causes of knee pain, which may stem from injuries, arthritis, muscle imbalances, or post-surgical recovery, and develop personalised rehabilitation plans. Strengthening exercises for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles play a crucial role in enhancing knee stability and function. Additionally, techniques like stretching, balance training, and gait correction help prevent future injuries and improve overall movement efficiency. Through a structured and progressive physiotherapy program, patients can achieve pain relief, increased flexibility, and a better quality of life.
