Our expert physiotherapists create personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to your condition and needs. Let’s explore what you need to know about knee pain and how virtual rehabilitation can support your recovery.
What are the Main Causes of Knee Pain
Several conditions can contribute to knee pain, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of knee joint cartilage leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee): Pain around the kneecap due to overuse, misalignment, or muscle imbalances.
- Meniscus Tears: Damage to the knee’s shock-absorbing cartilage, often caused by twisting motions or sudden impact.
- Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL Tears): Sprains or ruptures of knee ligaments, commonly resulting from sports injuries.
- Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee): Inflammation of the patellar tendon, often caused by repetitive jumping or excessive strain.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) that cushion the knee joint, leading to swelling and discomfort.
How to Treat Knee Pain?
Effective treatments depend on the underlying cause and may include:
- Exercise Therapy: Strengthening and mobility exercises to improve function and reduce pain.
- Activity Modification: Adjusting daily movements to prevent strain and promote healing.
- Virtual Manual Therapy Techniques: Mobilization and soft tissue techniques to improve flexibility and alleviate stiffness.
- Education on Self-Management Strategies: Providing tools to maintain recovery and prevent future knee issues.
Surgery is sometimes required depending on the condition.
