Knee Pain Physiotherapy in Ely
Knee pain can come on suddenly through injury, or build gradually through overuse, wear and tear, or muscle imbalance. Because the knee relies heavily on the muscles around it for support, physiotherapy is often central to both recovery and long-term management.
Common Causes We See
- Ligament or meniscus injuries
- Patellofemoral pain ("runner's knee")
- Osteoarthritis
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g. following knee replacement or ACL surgery)
- Overuse from running or sport
How Physiotherapy Can Help
After assessing your knee's movement, strength, and stability, we build a treatment plan focused on restoring strength and control around the joint — usually the biggest factor in long-term improvement — combined with manual therapy to manage pain and stiffness where needed. Sports massage can help with tightness in the surrounding muscles (quads, hamstrings, calves) that often contributes to knee pain. If you're recovering from surgery, we'll work from your surgeon's rehabilitation protocol where one exists.
