Knee Pain

Knee Pain & Stiffness Holding You Back?

Persistent knee pain limits more than just movement — it affects your ability to work, train, travel, and enjoy life on your terms.

At Physio7, we work with active adults and professionals who are tired of short-term fixes and want a clear, lasting solution.

Does this sound like you?

  • You’ve been told your knee pain is “normal for your age”

  • You’ve been advised to rest, take painkillers, or try a sheet of exercises

  • You’re confused by conflicting advice: rest vs. move, ice vs. heat, physio vs. surgery

  • You want to avoid surgery — but don’t know what else to try

If so, you're not alone — and there is a better way.

Why Most Approaches Fall Short

Generic advice often misses the underlying cause of knee pain.

While rest and exercises may help temporarily, persistent or recurring knee problems usually involve deeper issues — such as joint restriction, muscular imbalance, poor load distribution, or altered movement patterns.

Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to longer-term pain, reduced joint health, and even unnecessary surgery.

A Proven, Natural Alternative

At Physio7, we specialise in helping people delay — or avoid — invasive treatments by identifying and treating the root cause.

Before you opt for injections or surgery, our structured approach offers a smart, conservative alternative backed by experience and clinical reasoning.

How do we help you get results?

Every patient begins with a detailed assessment to uncover:

  • What hurts — the specific structures involved

  • Why it hurts — the underlying mechanical or postural contributors

Then we follow a tailored 3-step system:

Relieve
Calm the pain with precise manual therapy, positions of ease, electrical treatment (if appropriate), and strategies to reduce inflammation and muscle guarding.

Restore
Free up stiff joints and tight muscles. Rebuild natural alignment, balance, and control through progressive movement strategies.

Rebuild
Strengthen the knee and surrounding structures. Improve power, control, and confidence — and return to the activities you care about.

Who We Work With

We commonly help:

  • Runners and recreational athletes

  • Active adults recovering from past injuries

  • Professionals or parents balancing long hours and physical demands

  • Anyone with persistent knee pain despite previous therapy attempts

“Mark, a keen cyclist in his 50s, came to us after three years of worsening knee stiffness and several failed treatments. Within a month, he was back on the bike pain-free — stronger and more confident than before.”

Appointment Options

40-minute assessment — Ideal for new injuries or flare-ups of previous problems
55-minute assessment — Best for complex or persistent issues, especially if you’ve had prior treatment without results

“If you’re ready for clarity, hands-on care, and a personalised plan to solve the root of the problem — we’d love to help.”

Specialist Insight

The knee bears significant loads with every step — often several times your body weight during daily activities.

Women may be more prone to certain knee issues (such as ACL injuries) due to anatomical and biomechanical differences.

Incorporating strength training, flexibility work, and low-impact conditioning can help protect the knee and reduce future injury risk — but timing, load, and individualised progression are key.
