Common Symptoms of Knee Pain
Knee pain can present in several different ways depending on the underlying cause. Some of the most common symptoms we see include:
- Pain when walking, running or climbing stairs
- Pain around or behind the kneecap
- Swelling around the knee
- Stiffness after sitting for long periods
- Pain during squatting, lunging or gym training
- Clicking or catching sensations in the knee
If you are experiencing these symptoms, a physiotherapy assessment can help determine the cause and guide treatment.
Common Causes of Knee Pain We Treat
Knee pain can develop gradually or after a specific movement or injury. Some common causes we see include:
- Runner knee or pain around the kneecap
- Tendon irritation around the knee
- Sports injuries involving twisting or landing
- Gym related knee pain during squats or lunges
- Sudden increases in running or training load
- Muscle weakness affecting knee control
Knee pain often develops from a combination of movement and loading factors. Our assessment identifies the key contributors so treatment can be targeted and effective.
