Knee pain is common and there are a variety of injuries, conditions and problems that can cause symptoms. I know a lot of people who have put up with achey knees for a long time, putting it down to "something that comes with age" or "wear and tear" believing that it might get better with time. Unfortunately father time rarely shows mercy on our bodies and without taking action symptoms tend to worsen.
​
When left untreated knee pain can really start to slow you down. It an affect the way you walk, climb stairs, crouch and sleep, or force you to stop hobbies such as sports and gardening.
​
If this sounds like you and you've dealt with knee pain for long enough, the first bit of advice I have for you is to download the booklet on this page. I've used all the experience I've gained in the last few years to put together a guide that will tell you the 7 steps you can take to stop knee pain - and it's completely free! These are strategies I know work and things you can start doing TODAY.
Unfortunately knee pain rarely just disappears on its own so it's time to take action. Pain should never just be accepted or seen as a part of “getting old”. Joint degeneration is something that will happen to knees worldwide, but with the right management the knee can remain mobile and pain free.
Most people who suffer with knee pain often hear 3 words of advice when they seek help from their GP: “painkillers”, “rest” and “time”. Although these may provide some temporary relief it does little for the reduction of symptoms and long term health of the knee and symptoms often return when activity starts again.
If you'd like to relieve your knee pain without using medication, supports or surgery - the above booklet is the place to start. If you're ready to receive some advice specific for your problem, please feel free to schedule a call today - you can talk to our physiotherapist about your problems to learn the right steps to take. The phone call is complimentary and there's no obligation to book any appointments once our conversation is over. Our goal is to help you make the right decision about what to do next for your knee pain.

It is often human nature to put up with grumbling aches and pains until they become debilitating and the problem has grown - sometimes some 5-10 years after the issues began. Outcomes are usually best when taking action early, and deciding to see a physiotherapist who can help to diagnose the cause of your symptoms and formulate a treatment plan to relieve them is the best thing you can do.
​
