Knee Pain

Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people across a wide range of ages and activity levels. At Physioform Cammeray, we provide thorough assessment and individualised rehabilitation to help you manage knee pain and return to the activities you care about most.
About This Condition
The knee is a large joint that relies on a combination of bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles to function correctly. Knee pain can arise from many different structures and may be related to an acute injury, gradual overuse or progressive joint degeneration. Understanding the cause is key to effective treatment.
Common Causes
  • Patellofemoral pain syndrome
  • Ligament sprains including ACL, MCL and PCL
  • Meniscal injuries
  • Iliotibial band syndrome
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Patellar tendinopathy
  • Osgood-Schlatter disease in adolescents
  • Bursitis
Common Symptoms
  • Pain at the front, sides or back of the knee
  • Swelling within or around the joint
  • Stiffness after rest or prolonged activity
  • Clicking, grinding or locking of the knee
  • Pain when climbing stairs, squatting or running
  • Instability or a feeling of the knee giving way
