Knee pain can follow an injury, a change in activity or an underlying joint condition. The right approach depends on the cause, symptom severity, function and personal goals.
Symptoms worth assessing
Pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced bending or straightening, a feeling of instability and difficulty with stairs or walking can have different causes. An assessment helps distinguish the likely problem and identify precautions.
Rehabilitation options
Depending on the diagnosis, physiotherapy may include education, graded strengthening, movement practice and advice on modifying activities while symptoms settle. Progress should be guided by function and response, not a fixed timeline.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent assessment if you cannot bear weight after an injury, the knee is deformed, swelling is severe or rapid, you have fever with a hot red joint, or symptoms are otherwise concerning.
