Symptoms of knee pain.
Due to the many structures around the knee and how we use them, knee pain can manifest in a number of ways, including:
- Dull ache or sharp shooting pain in the joint, usually on the side or front of the knee or felt around the kneecap.
- Feeling of stiffness, especially when waking up or after periods of rest or sitting.
- A loss of strength or feeling of a lack of confidence in the knee.
- Feeling warmth or tenderness generally around the knee.
- Cracking, popping, or grinding sounds when moving, bending, squatting, or going upstairs.
- Pain during or after exercise, particularly running or jumping.
- Fear of movement due to pain or weakness.
The good news is – all these symptoms can be treated and many resolved with the right hands-on therapy and exercise plan.
Why knee pain should not be ignored.
Our knees are complex and hardworking. They carry your full body weight and absorb impact during everyday movements and high-impact sports.
So, when something is off, even small tasks like getting out of the car, walking the dog, or even using stairs can become painful or even seem impossible.
Many people assume knee pain is just ‘wear and tear’ or an inevitable part of getting older or exercising.
That’s not true.
While knee issues are more common with age and sport, they are treatable and often reversible with the right combination of hands-on therapy, rehabilitation, and expert care.
That’s where we can help.

Knee Pain FAQs
What causes knee pain without injury?
Knee pain without a specific injury is often due to overuse, poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or age-related changes such as osteoarthritis. It can also be linked to changes or inflammation in the tendons or bursa. Poor footwear or altered walking or movement habits can gradually stress the knee over time leading to discomfort without a clear event.
Many of the knee issues we see here in the clinic are due to these factors.
When should I seek professional treatment for knee pain?
If your knee pain has lasted more than 7-10 days, is getting worse, or is affecting your ability to walk, exercise, or sleep. It’s time to seek professional help. Early treatment often leads to faster recovery and helps prevent long-term joint damage as well as chronic pain.
Why does my knee hurt when walking up and down stairs?
A clear treatment and exercise plan to settle the symptoms and build strength to correct imbalances around the knee is often needed.
Can knee pain go away on its own?
Is knee pain always caused by arthritis?
No. While osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain in older adults, many younger people experience knee pain from sports injuries, tendinitis, ligament sprains, or postural issues. A proper assessment is needed to identify the true cause of your knee pain and create an effective treatment and exercise plan to help you best recover.
I've been told I have arthritis, and nothing can be done - is that true?
No, this is not true. While arthritis can’t be reversed, a lot can be done to reduce pain, improve movement, and avoid surgery. With the right combination of therapy, exercise, and hands-on treatment, we help many people with knee arthritis stay active, mobile, and pain-free for years.
In short – You don’t have to ‘put up with’ arthritis, there are proactive things that can be done.
What are the best exercises to relieve knee pain?
However, the best exercises depend on your specific condition. Our expert team will tailor a plan to your particular symptoms, knee pain, and goals for best results, ensuring you’re doing the right things at the right time.
Can treatment help avoid knee surgery or injections?
Yes. In many cases, treatment can delay or even completely avoid the need for surgery or painful joint injections by improving the joint’s function, reducing pain and restoring strength and stability around the knee.
Research shows that conservative treatment is often as effective and preferred to surgery for many knee conditions, including meniscal cartilage tears, ligament tears, and arthritis.
Why does my knee hurt after sitting?
When your knee stays bent for too long, this puts pressure over the front of the knee and behind the kneecap leading to aching or discomfort when you stand up.
This is common if you sit at a desk, drive a lot or travel frequently. It can be improved with targeted treatment and exercises.
Should I rest or move with knee pain?
Complete rest is rarely the answer and can often make things worse. While avoiding painful activities short-term can help, gentle, guided movement is usually the most effective way to reduce stiffness, improve healing, and prevent future flare-ups.
Our expert team can show exactly what’s safe and helpful at each stage of your recovery.
How do I know if my knee pain is serious?
It is important to seek professional help if your knee pain is:
- Severe or sudden in onset
- Causing swelling, warmth, or redness
- Making you feel unstable or like it’s going to ‘give way’
- Persisting beyond two weeks
- Affecting your sleep, job or quality of life
What's the fastest way to relieve knee pain?
Short-term relief may come from ice, elevation, or compression and reducing painful activities. However, for long-term results, the fastest route is usually a customised treatment and rehab program that combines hands-on therapy and targeted strengthening and mobility work to get you back to your active best.
