We treat all Knee Injuries

There are a variety of common knee injuries and we treat them all.

It should be known that knee injuries often relate to poor alignment of the foot, hip or both. Poor foot alignment results in change in the alignment of the knee and hip, therefore results in a change in muscle pattern around these joints.

This change in muscle pattern can cause injury due to the imbalance in joint and muscle load. It is important to address the alignment abnormalities by way of an accurate biomechanical assessment.

Treatment for Knee Injuries

The Body, Foot and Leg Clinic carry out an accurate biomechanical assessment and prescribe a strength and conditioning programme to address the muscle imbalance.

It is sometimes the case that foot orthotics and/or foot mobilisation therapy are also required to restore muscle and joint equilibrium in the leg. By improving muscle and joint function we can work to reduce tissue stress and aid healing.

The Biomechanical Assessment includes Gait Analysis that provides in-depth analysis of the position of the foot, knee, hip and upper trunk and an explanation as to what these findings mean in relation to the knee injury.  Realignment of the body via foot orthotics, foot mobilisation, KCR and physio strengthening program will change the muscle pattern throughout the body to reduce knee forces and pain.

Our physiotherapist will assess the knee and diagnose the injury.  From this point they will advise a strengthening programme to aid healing.  For complicated injuries the physiotherapist will refer for imaging.
