13 Jan Been experiencing knee pain on and off despite having treatment

Been told that you have weak knees that’s why you keep experiencing knee pain

Here at My Favourite Physio, it is not uncommon for our Expert Physiotherapists to meet a young person in their 20s who have been experiencing knee pain on and off over a period of years, despite having different therapies including Physiotherapy. On Closer examination and History Taking, we have learnt from patients about their past therapies and treatment programs. To prevent others from making the same mistake,

Here are 3 common mistakes with Knee Pain Treatment:
1. Misdiagnosis of the cause of the knee pain. So therapy is focused only on the presenting symptom of pain in the area of pain, without understanding the root cause for the pain that is experienced.

2. Treating only the presenting symptoms which may be a referred pain. The Therapist is not assessing or treating the muscles, ligaments, joints above and below the knee. Often times, the cause of the knee pain is actually coming from favouring the opposite leg!

3. Not providing a holistic exercise program to prevent recurrence of the knee pain. There is often no Home Exercise Program to strengthen core muscles and leg muscles as well as stretching program to maintain muscle length. Over time this leads to recurrence knee pain happening.

So if you are experiencing recurrent knee pain, reach out to My Favourite Physio on (02) 9790 4233 or DM us @myfavouritephysio to speak to one of our Expert Physiotherapists. Find out how we can help you overcome your knee pain today!
