Knee Pain
Whether the problem is in the joint itself or the surrounding soft tissues, knee pain can have a serious knock-on effect on your ability to move confidently, stay active and enjoy everyday life.
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people come through our doors at Chadwick’s Physiotherapy. It can affect anyone – from athletes and active adults to those managing age-related joint changes. The causes vary widely, including arthritis, ligament strains, meniscus damage, or general wear and tear. It might be triggered by a specific injury or develop gradually over time.
Whether the problem is in the joint itself or the surrounding soft tissues, knee pain can have a serious knock-on effect on your ability to move confidently, stay active and enjoy everyday life.
What Are The Symptoms Of Knee Pain?
Knee pain can present in different ways, but the impact is often similar – it limits your freedom to move without hesitation. Common symptoms include:
- Pain when walking or bearing weight
- Stiffness after sitting for long periods
- Difficulty climbing stairs or squatting
- Swelling or a sense of instability
- A clicking or catching sensation
- Avoidance of activity due to discomfort or fear of aggravation
Many people try to manage it with knee supports, ice, rest or advice from friends, but when those don’t work, they often come to us looking for a long-term solution – not just a temporary fix.
What Is Our Approach To Fixing/Treating Knee Pain?
At Chadwick’s Physiotherapy, we take the time to understand what’s really behind your knee pain. We start with a thorough assessment to identify whether it’s a joint issue, ligament injury, soft tissue damage, or a combination – and then we tailor treatment to match.
Here’s what your recovery might include:
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and ease discomfort.
- Strength and Balance Training: Targeted exercises to build muscle support around the knee, improve stability, and restore function. These are tailored to your level and built into your day-to-day life.
- Advanced Technology: We offer treatments like Shockwave Therapy and Stimpod Therapy, which can reduce pain, accelerate soft tissue repair and help with stubborn injuries.
- Functional Rehab: We go beyond symptom relief – helping you return to everyday tasks like walking, using stairs, bending down or getting back to sport or fitness with confidence.
We also offer a maintenance programme for clients who want to stay on top of their progress. Even after symptoms improve, we can schedule regular check-ins to ensure you’re staying strong, moving well and avoiding future setbacks.
