Frequently Asked Questions For Knee Physio
When to see a physio for knee pain?
You should see your physio for knee pain when you have been unable to settle your knee pain down with rest, over the counter pain relief and a short break or reduction in normal activities, or if you have had a trauma to you knee like a fall or sporting injury.
What causes knee pain when bending?
Knee pain when bending is a common complaint and can be due to irritation or inflammation of the knee cap, the joint surface or the fat pad in the joint if there is no history of trauma or injury. If you have injured your knee, it might be a sign of a meniscus injury or a sprain of the knee ligaments.
What causes knee pain when squatting?
Knee pain when squatting could be due to many factors including your biomechanics, an irritated or inflamed patella tendon, knee cap joint or an injury to the cartilage.
Why is there so much pain after knee replacement?
Pain after knee replacement is caused by physical injury to the bone, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the knee from surgery. There is also extensive inflammation of the joint because of the surgery which causes further pain. Pain following knee replacement surgery may take up to 6-12 months to completely settle.
What are the best exercises for knee pain?
The best exercises for knee pain are the ones that develop the necessary mobility, strength and movement qualities that will get you back to the activity or sport that you want to do. The best exercises for knee pain are the ones that allow for gradual, progressive increases in difficulty over a period of weeks to months.
