Knee Pain & Arthritis Treatment

Non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis, ligament strain and joint stiffness โ€” helping you walk and climb stairs comfortably again.

Knee pain affects patients of all ages, from sports injuries in the young to osteoarthritis in older adults. Left untreated, knee problems tend to worsen โ€” the pain leads to reduced activity, which weakens supporting muscles, which increases joint strain further. Physiotherapy breaks this cycle.

Understanding the Knee Joint

The knee is a complex hinge joint connecting the thigh bone and shin bone, cushioned by cartilage and stabilised by ligaments and surrounding muscles. It bears significant load with every step, which makes it especially vulnerable to wear, injury and inflammation over time.
