Understanding the condition

About knee pain

Common causes of knee pain include patellofemoral pain (around the kneecap), patellar tendinopathy, IT band syndrome, osteoarthritis and ligament or meniscus injuries. The knee sits between the hip and foot, so weakness at the hip or poor foot mechanics often contribute. Treatment combines strengthening, load management and, where needed, bracing or orthotics.

Common symptoms

  • Pain around or behind the kneecap
  • Pain with stairs, squatting or kneeling
  • Swelling or stiffness
  • Clicking, catching or giving way
  • Pain after running or sport

Common causes

  • Overuse from running and jumping
  • Weak hip and thigh muscles
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Ligament or meniscus injury
  • Flat feet or poor foot mechanics

How we treat it

Our approach at Tread Well

01

Assessment

We examine the knee, hip and feet to understand why the knee is being overloaded.

02

Pain relief

Manual therapy, taping, shockwave for tendon pain, and custom bracing reduce symptoms.

03

Strengthening

Progressive exercise for the hip and thigh, plus orthotics where needed, supports long-term recovery.
