Knee pain is one of the most common joint issues and can affect people of all ages, from active individuals to those dealing with everyday wear and tear. Pain in the knee can make walking, running, climbing stairs, and exercising uncomfortable or difficult. At Fortress Sports Therapy, we help you understand the causes of knee pain and provide effective treatment to support recovery and performance.
Knee pain can develop for a number of reasons. Overuse injuries such as runner’s knee or tendon irritation are common, particularly with repetitive activities or sudden increases in training. Muscle imbalances or weakness around the hips and thighs can place extra stress on the knee joint, leading to pain and instability. Acute injuries from sport, twisting movements, or falls may also be responsible. In some cases, underlying conditions such as arthritis or cartilage damage can contribute to ongoing knee discomfort.
Managing knee pain often involves improving strength, stability, and movement control. Strengthening the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, can reduce joint stress and improve support. Mobility exercises help maintain range of motion, while low-impact activities such as cycling or swimming can aid recovery without excessive strain. Ice may help manage inflammation, while appropriate rest allows tissues time to recover.
If knee pain persists, worsens, or affects your ability to stay active, professional assessment is important. At Fortress Sports Therapy, we focus on identifying the underlying cause of knee pain rather than simply treating symptoms.
Our personalised treatment plans combine hands-on therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and preventative strategies to help you return to movement safely and confidently. Whether your knee pain is related to sport, daily activity, or long-term joint issues, we are here to support your recovery.
