Knee Pain

Knee pain can make walking, climbing stairs, exercising, standing, and other everyday activities difficult. It may develop due to injury, overuse, arthritis, muscle weakness, poor movement patterns, or age-related changes in the knee joint.

At Lora Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre, we provide personalized physiotherapy for knee pain with a focus on pain management, improved mobility, muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and functional recovery.

• Ligament or muscle injuries
• Overuse and repetitive activities
• Muscle weakness or imbalance
• Poor posture and movement patterns

Physiotherapy for Osteoarthritis Knee Pain

Knee osteoarthritis can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Physiotherapy can help patients strengthen the muscles supporting the knee and maintain functional movement.

A personalized exercise program may include strengthening, flexibility, mobility, balance, and low-impact activity guidance to support better knee function and help patients remain active.

Knee Rehabilitation After Injury or Surgery

Physiotherapy is also an important part of rehabilitation after certain knee injuries, fractures, or surgical procedures. Treatment can be progressively adjusted to help restore mobility, strength, balance, and functional movement.

The rehabilitation program may focus on:

• Restoring knee movement
• Reducing stiffness
• Improving muscle strength
• Regaining balance and stability
• Improving walking ability
• Gradually returning to daily activities

Knee Pain Prevention & Self-Care

Along with treatment, physiotherapy can help you develop healthy movement habits that support long-term knee health. Guidance may include:

• Maintaining regular low-impact physical activity
• Strengthening the muscles around the knee and hip
• Improving flexibility
• Avoiding sudden increases in physical activity
• Using proper techniques during exercise
• Maintaining healthy posture and movement patterns
• Following a personalized home exercise program

When Should You Seek Physiotherapy?

Consider a physiotherapy assessment if knee pain is persistent, recurring, affecting your walking, or interfering with your daily activities.

Seek medical evaluation for severe pain following an injury, significant swelling, inability to bear weight, a visibly deformed knee, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
