Knee Pain
What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is a common issue that can result from injury, overuse, or underlying conditions such as osteoarthritis or patellar tendinitis. It can affect the knee joint itself, the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons, causing discomfort, swelling, and difficulty with movement.
Symptoms of Knee Pain
- Pain around the knee joint, especially with movement
- Swelling or stiffness in the knee
- Difficulty straightening or bending the knee fully
- Weakness in the leg or knee instability
- A feeling of grating or crunching in the knee during movement
- Limited range of motion or difficulty bearing weight on the leg
How Osteopathy Can Help
At Forme, we aim to alleviate knee pain by addressing both the local knee joint and the surrounding muscles and structures that support it. Our holistic approach ensures that the root causes of knee pain are identified and treated effectively.
Using gentle hands-on techniques such as:
- Restoring proper alignment and movement in the knee joint to reduce pain and improve function
- Releasing muscle tension in the thigh, calf, and hip muscles to reduce strain on the knee joint
- Addressing misalignments in the pelvis and lower back that may contribute to knee pain
- Strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee joint to improve stability and prevent future injury
- Promoting healthy circulation to reduce swelling and support tissue healing
- Offering targeted exercises to improve flexibility, strength, and joint mobility
- Correcting biomechanical imbalances in walking or running patterns that may contribute to knee pain
- Educating on proper posture, movement techniques, and the use of supportive footwear to reduce knee strain
Osteopathy helps knee pain by improving joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, and restoring balance to the body’s movement patterns, providing relief and supporting long-term recovery.
