Injuries such as ligament tears can result from sudden movements, collisions, or falls, whether this be while you’re playing sports, exercising or from an unfortunate accident. Overuse from actions such as running or sports like basketball and football can cause knee pain, potentially leading to conditions like tendinitis or bursitis, which is where inflammation develops due to repetitive stress on the knee joint.
Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis are a common cause of chronic knee pain. This condition occurs when the cartilage that cushions the knee wears away over time, resulting in pain, tightness and swelling. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can also cause inflammation and damage to the knee joint.
Lifestyle factors like body weight, improper posture and muscle imbalances can also contribute to knee pain, as it places extra stress on the knee joint. Taking the time to examine the ergonomics of your work area and seating arrangement, making sure you use the correct form while walking or running, and utilising correct posture can all help to reduce the possibility of developing knee pain.
When you arrive at your appointment here at Poplar Osteopathy, our experienced clinicians will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the underlying issues and causes of your knee pain, and we will create a personalised, tailored care plan that suits you.

Using osteopathy and massage therapy techniques, we provide holistic, non-invasive, multidisciplinary treatments that aim to target the root causes of your discomfort, by promoting the body’s natural healing abilities. These treatments focus on improving mobility and joint health, reducing inflammation and correcting imbalances in the musculoskeletal system.
Osteopathic treatments often involve techniques like myofascial release to target tightness in the connective tissues surrounding the knee, improving flexibility and reducing discomfort. Osteopathic care also includes postural assessments to identify and correct misalignments that may contribute to knee pain, helping to prevent future issues.
Our experienced massage therapists will work on improving your circulation, reducing inflammation and relieving tension in the surrounding muscles and tissues of your knee. Using techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy, we can address tightness and pain in the knee. By promoting relaxation and enhancing your range of motion, our massage therapy will help to alleviate your pain, support your recovery from injuries and improve your joint function. Massage therapy can also stimulate the release of endorphins, offering natural pain relief and promoting overall well-being.
There are a number of steps you can take in order to minimise your chances of developing knee pain. This typically involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle and taking proactive measures to protect your joints. Regular exercise is essential for strengthening the muscles that support the knee and improving overall joint stability. However, it’s crucial to use proper technique and the right equipment during physical activities to avoid injury. Stretching and warming up before and after exercise can also reduce the risk of strain. Maintaining a healthy body weight can also prevent future knee pain, as the added weight puts extra stress on the knee joint. Utilising proper posture and taking care to use the correct equipment and clothing such as footwear for your chosen activity will also reduce your chances of developing persistent knee pain.
