Knee Pain

Struggling with knee pain when running, training, squatting, or going up and down stairs?

Knee pain can be frustrating — especially when it starts affecting training, sport, work, or even simple day-to-day movement. Whether it came on gradually or started after a specific incident, the right assessment can help identify what is driving it and what needs to change.

Symptoms

Is this you?

You may relate to this if you have:

  • Pain at the front, inside, outside, or back of the knee
  • Pain with running, jumping, lunging, squatting, or stairs
  • Stiffness after sitting for long periods
  • Swelling after training or activity
  • A feeling of weakness, instability, or lack of trust in the knee
  • Ongoing symptoms after a previous injury that never fully settled

Whether you are an athlete, runner, gym-goer, or simply trying to move comfortably again, knee pain should not be ignored if it keeps coming back or is limiting what you can do.

Conditions

We commonly see

Patellofemoral painTendon-related pain such as patellar tendinopathyMeniscus-related irritationLigament injuries and post-injury instabilityPost-operative knee rehabilitationOverload from sport, gym training, or sudden increases in activityPersistent pain that has not improved despite rest

The name of the condition matters less than understanding what is driving your pain and what needs to improve.

Drivers

What may be causing it?

Knee pain rarely has a single cause. It is often influenced by a combination of factors, such as:

  • Training load increasing too quickly
  • Weakness or reduced strength through the quads, calves, glutes, or hamstrings
  • Reduced control during running, landing, squatting, or change of direction
  • Stiffness around the ankle, hip, or knee
  • Incomplete rehab after a previous injury
  • Returning to sport too soon without restoring capacity

Our role is to work out which factors matter most in your case and build a plan around them.

Treatment

How we treat knee pain

Your treatment plan is tailored to your presentation, goals, and training demands. This may include:

  • Pain management strategies
  • Hands-on treatment where appropriate
  • Strengthening for the quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes
  • Mobility work where needed
  • Movement retraining for squatting, landing, running, or sport-specific patterns
  • Load management so you know what you can continue, what to modify, and what to build back toward
  • Progressive return to running, gym, court sport, or competition

We aim to do more than just reduce pain — we help rebuild confidence and capacity.

Who this is for

  • Runners with persistent knee pain
  • Gym-goers struggling with squats, lunges, or jumping
  • Court sport athletes returning from knee injuries
  • Field sport athletes building back after ligament or meniscus issues
  • Active adults who want to move well again without flare-ups
  • Post-operative patients working toward strength and confidence

Get assessed if

  • Your pain has lasted more than a few weeks
  • It keeps returning when you increase activity
  • You feel unstable or unable to trust the knee
  • You are avoiding exercise because of it
  • You have swelling, weakness, or reduced range of motion
  • You are not sure whether to rest, train, or push through
