Common causes
Knee osteoarthritis
Changes in the joint cartilage and bone. Very common, and exercise is one of the most effective treatments for it.
Pain at the front of the knee
Common in runners, cyclists and people who squat or climb a lot. Usually about load, not damage.
Ligament and meniscus injuries
Twisting injuries in sport or a fall. See our ACL page for ligament rehab.
After knee surgery
Knee replacement and arthroscopy both need structured rehab to get bend, straightening and strength back.
How we treat it at Good Physio Hub
Assessment
How your knee, hip and ankle move together, strength testing, and what activities you want to get back to.
Pain relief
Manual therapy and electrotherapy such as ultrasound or IFT, used alongside exercise rather than instead of it.
Strength
Progressive strengthening for the thigh, hip and calf — the most reliable way to reduce knee pain.
Function
Stairs, squatting, sitting cross-legged, walking further — whatever your goal is, we train it directly.
This care is part of our Post-Operative Rehabilitation programme.
Exercises you can start at home
These are gentle starting points, not a programme. Stop any exercise that sharpens the pain or sends symptoms further down an arm or leg, and get assessed before you push on.
1. Thigh tightening
Sit with your leg straight. Press the back of your knee down by tightening the thigh, hold 5 seconds. 10 times.
2. Straight leg raise
Lying down, one knee bent. Tighten the straight leg's thigh and lift it to the height of the other knee. 10 times.
3. Sit to stand
From a firm chair, stand up and sit down slowly, using your hands if needed. 8–10 times.
4. Heel slides
Lying down, slide your heel towards you to bend the knee as far as is comfortable, then straighten. 10 times.
See a doctor first if you have
- You cannot put weight on the leg after an injury
- A hot, red, swollen knee with fever
- Calf pain and swelling after surgery or a long journey
- A knee that locks and won't straighten
How long does recovery take?
Most people with knee osteoarthritis or front-of-knee pain notice a change within four to six weeks of regular strengthening, with steady gains for months after. Knee replacement rehab is typically three months of structured work.
