Having a sore or painful knee is quite an annoying thing to go through daily, especially if you're someone on your feet all day. You might have pain in the front, sides or even back of the knee - all are very common. In many cases, the pain can also be felt in the thigh as well as the knee itself.

​

That's because the kind of knee pain that comes on with walking, standing or using stairs is often not only from the knee joint itself, but also from issues in the thigh and hip!

 

Knee pain affects most people, especially as we start to get older.

​

The most common kind of pain is from the wear and tear stresses of everyday life on the knee. It can happen on its own for no reason, or start after doing too much standing or exercising. Others have knee pain after jumping or walking down a steep step.

​

Often people don't have a good way to deal with it, and it the pain gradually becomes more chronic and limiting. There's always the dreaded surgery that we hear about and that you know of a family member or friend who had it.
 

Could You Also Be Experiencing This?

​

A common situation when someone's knee pain gets worse, is they go see a doctor. They are often given a scan, an X-ray or advice to have some painkillers and some rest.
 

Sometimes strong painkillers are needed to get through a bad flare up, but it won't make the pain completely go away.

​

That's because knee pain is often due to imbalances in the joint and muscles that have built up over years.

 

There are many factors that can be diagnosed, sometimes indirectly causing the pain.

 

The result of those factors is almost always stress to the joint, which is what can show up on the X-ray. The problem is, those factors or root causes go unnoticed and doctors and surgeons mainly look at the joint and the damage done rather than what's caused it.

​

If we can have a way to assess and treat these root causes even in severe knee osteoarthritis, often painful an ineffective surgery can be avoided.

​

Has This Happened To You?
 

If you've gone and tried things without much help, don't be discouraged. Actually, here are some common reasons and things that aren't able to fully treat knee pain:
 

• Medications and injections

• Passive therapy such as a heat pack and stretching

• Resting and avoiding activity that causes any pain

• Accepting knee joint cartilage wear as something that will cause lifelong pain and the misleading narrative of "bone on bone". This is not true!

• Exercises that aren't suited to you, only making you feel more sore afterwards

​

If any of this sounds like what you've gone through, contacting my physio clinic or even having a phone consultation will help you see how your knee pain can be helped.

​

To address everything missing in common knee pain remedies, I put together a system combining all elements needed to fix knee pain long-term

​

I use a proven system for treating knee pain which I call my 4-step method:

​

​

1. Assessment and diagnosis to find root causes and form a tailored plan
    

2. Targeted hands on treatment to quickly reduce pain and correct joint alignment
    

3. Fix root causes and posture by improve control and stability of joints
    

4. Make the knee resilient so pain doesn't come back with increased activity

​

Throughout the process, pain will keep getting better. Sometimes it goes away within a couple of sessions, depending on how long it's been there.

 

And the rest of the time is focused on fixing the causes so it doesn't keep coming back and to help the person become more active without hurting their knee again.
