From pain relief to improved knee strength and mobility, our certified specialists provide evidence-based physiotherapy treatments to reduce discomfort, restore joint function, and support long-term recovery.
What drives knee pain
Yes, physiotherapy is a proven, highly effective conservative treatment for knee pain. Whether caused by arthritis, ligament sprains, meniscus tears, or muscular imbalances, targeted exercise therapy, joint mobilization, and gait correction help restore knee strength, reduce swelling, and prevent joint surgery.

Symptoms
What does knee pain
feel like?
Knee pain can manifest in several ways depending on the underlying cause:
Pain When Weight-Bearing
Soreness or sharp pain when climbing stairs, squatting, kneeling, or walking down slopes.
Joint Stiffness & Swelling
A tight, puffy feeling in the knee joint, especially in the morning or after long periods of sitting/resting.
Popping, Clicking, or Grinding
Audible clicking, popping sensations, or a rough "grating" feeling during movement (crepitus).
Instability or "Giving Way"
Feeling like your knee is wobbly, weak, or about to collapse under your weight.
Symptoms
When to see a physiotherapist?
You should schedule an assessment with a physiotherapist if:
You experience recurring knee pain during daily tasks like standing up or climbing stairs.
Your knee swells up or feels stiff after light exercise or walking.
You want to rebuild leg strength to stay active without resorting to pain killers or surgery.

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY
How we assess knee pain
at Plan B
Our thorough lower limb evaluation includes:
Performing clinical stability tests (e.g., Lachman, McMurray) to check tissue integrity.
Observing your walking, running, and squatting biomechanics to spot alignment flaws.
Assessing quadriceps, hamstrings, calf, and gluteal strength.
Checking how your kneecap glides during knee flexion and extension.
How we treat lower back pain
Depending on your clinical findings, your treatment plan may include:
Targeted Quadriceps & Glute Strengthening
Building surrounding leg muscles to absorb impact and take pressure off the knee joint.
Joint Decompression & Mobilization
Improving joint fluid circulation and reducing stiffness.
Gait & Movement Re-education
Correcting walking and landing patterns to reduce joint stress.
Taping & Bracing Support
Utilizing kinesiology taping to realign patellar tracking and provide immediate support.

QUESTIONS, Answered.
Still not sure? Our team is happy to answer any questions before you book.
Complete rest is rarely the solution. We help you modify your exercises to stay active while keeping your knee safe and pain-free.
Yes! Strengthening the muscles around an osteoarthritic knee acts as a natural shock absorber, significantly reducing pain and improving mobility.
Popping or clicking without pain is generally harmless. However, if popping is accompanied by pain, swelling, or catching, it should be evaluated.
Use ice for acute swelling or immediately after flare-ups. Use heat for chronic stiffness before starting stretches or exercise.
Wear shorts or loose athletic pants that can easily roll up above your knee for assessment and treatment.
