Knee Pain
Can an osteopath help with knee pain?
Sometimes knee pain happens so gradually you are not sure what caused it while other times it is due to something dramatic like a skiing accident or footballing injury.
In my experience, the pain is often a symptom of a problem elsewhere in the body like the ankle or hip rather than the knee itself.
Do you have knee pain?
Sometimes it happens so gradually you are not sure what caused it while other times it is due to something dramatic like a trip, fall, skiing accident or your dog running into you (that happens more often than you think!).
In my experience if you have never had a knee injury your pain is generally due to a problem either with your ankle, hip or both.
Some of the causes of knee pain include:
- A strain or sprain to any of the structures in or around the knee can result in painful symptoms typically due to a trauma like a trip or fall.
- Poor alignment of the knee or kneecap and altered joint mechanics in relation to the hips and knees can also cause problems.
- Osteoarthritis due to ‘wear and tear’ is a common condition that affects the knee.
Common symptoms in the knee include pain, stiffness, aching, locking, swelling, limping and difficulty fully straightening or bending the knee.
Regardless of how long you have had your pain and whatever the cause I can help you to get rid of it completely.

“Can kneel down again (not for long) but can do it now, whereas before couldn’t do that as was in too much pain. Going up and down stairs much easier. Just general day to day life easier with out waking up thinking how are my knees going to feel today”
