Knee pain physio naturally shows that not all discomfort comes from a major sports injury. Knee pain is common in people who walk a lot, go up and down stairs, squat, or carry heavy bags. Sometimes pain starts after mopping, gardening, or sitting too long. It doesn’t always need a sports injury. Old falls or knocks can cause trouble years later.
Swelling is normal after a long day on your feet. Some feel pain at the front of the knee, some at the side, and some only when going downstairs. Stiffness in the morning or after rest is also typical. Clicking sounds can happen when bending or straightening the leg.
Usual Reasons
The main reasons are overuse, strain, or old injuries. Squatting for long periods puts pressure on the joint. Sitting cross-legged too long can also make the knee sore. Sometimes, muscle weakness or poor balance adds stress to the knee. For older people, cartilage wear makes it worse. Pain can build up slowly or come suddenly, even with normal daily activity.
Can Physio Really Help?
Honestly, yes. At MyPro PHYSIO, we see all sorts of knee pain. Sometimes it’s just a muscle pulling the wrong way; sometimes it’s more serious. A proper knee pain physio session isn’t about “one size fits all.” Usually, our therapists will check your movement, ask how you got hurt (if you even remember!), and then start with small, simple steps—maybe a stretch, maybe a bit of hands-on treatment. It’s really about helping you move without that ache in the background.
What Can You Do At Home?
- Don’t force your knee if the pain is sharp. Rest a bit.
- Some gentle movement or light swimming helps if you feel up for it.
- Ice packs are useful if it gets swollen.
- Try not to sit too long—move around if you can.
Still Got Knee Pain?
If you’ve tried resting and it’s still bugging you, maybe it’s time to get it checked. Sometimes, a quick session at MyPro PHYSIO makes a world of difference. Don’t let knee pain slow you down.
