Knee pain can affect anyone, whether you’re active, recovering from an injury, or simply getting older. It can stop you from walking comfortably, climbing stairs, or enjoying your favourite activities.

At RED Physiotherapy Northampton, we provide effective knee pain physiotherapy that focuses on relieving pain, restoring strength, and helping you move freely again. Whether it’s an old sports injury, wear and tear, or post-surgery recovery, we’ll help you get back on your feet — literally.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain isn’t just one condition. It can be caused by many different issues, including:

• Arthritis or joint wear and tear
• Patellofemoral pain (pain behind the kneecap)
• Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, LCL tears or sprains)
• Meniscus tears
• Tendonitis or bursitis
• Overuse injuries from running or gym workouts
• Post-surgery stiffness and weakness

We’ll identify exactly what’s behind your pain and build a treatment plan around your needs.

How Physiotherapy Helps Knee Pain

Physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to treat knee pain — without relying on painkillers or injections.

Here’s how it helps:✅ Reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness✅ Restores strength and joint stability✅ Improves flexibility and balance✅ Rebuilds confidence in movement✅ Prevents future injuries or flare-ups

At RED Physiotherapy Northampton, we focus on long-term results — not quick fixes.

Our Approach to Knee Pain Treatment

Your treatment starts with a full assessment of how your knee moves, your muscle strength, and your posture. Then we create a tailored plan to target the cause of your pain.

Your sessions may include:

• Manual therapy: To reduce stiffness and improve mobility
• Shockwave therapy: For tendon or chronic knee conditions
• Ultrasound and electrotherapy: To speed up healing
• Taping or bracing: For extra joint support
• Strength and stability exercises: Focused on quads, hamstrings, and hips
• Balance and coordination training: To restore confidence in your knee

We’ll also give you a personalised home exercise plan so you can continue improving between sessions.

When to See a Physiotherapist

You should book a physiotherapy assessment if:

• Your knee pain lasts more than a few days
• You hear a clicking, grinding, or popping noise
• You experience swelling or stiffness
• You feel instability or weakness
• You’ve had surgery and need guided recovery

The earlier you start treatment, the quicker your recovery will be.
