Knee Pain

If you’re living with bad knees, they’re painful or they ache – it’s very easy to think that it’s “just something that comes with age”, it’s a bit of “wear and tear”, or that it’s nothing and it’ll go away on its own.

You can’t quite point your finger on why you’re feeling pain in your knees – but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better!

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Knee Pain is one of THE most common problems that we see in our clinic

And when it comes to living with Knee Pain, everybody we see wants to know the answers to these questions:

“Why is This Happening to Me?”…
or,
“Why am I still suffering with Knee pain that keeps getting worse after putting up with it for 6 months – sometimes more?”…

Most people think that when they get Knee Pain, it’ll eventually “ease off” and go away on it’s own. That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, Knee Pain will be a thing of the past… But then 6 months later you’re still living with the discomfort of knee pain – often even worse than it was when it came on.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see all the time in our physiotherapy clinic is when people go to their Doctors, and the well-meaning Doctor tells them to “rest”, “try these painkillers” and “come back in 6 weeks if it’s no better” – but then 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the same Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better, only to be given ANOTHER prescription of even stronger pills, and maybe a knee support.

Has That Ever Happened To You?

Maybe you are confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. Maybe you think you have to rest because you’ve been told walking makes knee pain worse, or that you should be doing ‘this exercise’ and ‘that exercise’ to make it better.

It’s very confusing to know exactly what to do – and that’s just to avoid making knee pain worse!

And because of this confusion – this often leads people to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their Knee Pain. Worse, many people just end up accepting it as “part of life” – as if it’s normal, as if it “has” to be that way.

Is This How You Feel Too?

This is Mr John. John suffers with knee pain!

Don’t Be John!

John is dealing with annoying knee pain for months now that is not going away.

He gets sharp knee pain with his first step out of bed, when he stands at a social events, and he can’t walk properly without siting down severally to rest and also has pain going up and down the stairs

His pain continues to get worse at work because his job requires him to stand for long periods of time and also navigating the stairs to meet up with his role as the managerial supervisor

He can’t exercise nor run anymore. He can’t enjoy his favorite activities and live an active lifestyle like he wants too.

He has problems traveling now due to his pain and he can’t enjoy time with his family without getting bad flare ups of sharp knee pain.

He doesn’t want surgery. He doesn’t want injections, but he doesn’t know what else to do?

He is hoping that his knee pain is just going to go away. But it’s not. . Don’t be like John

• 1. You thought it would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t

  2. You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers – but the pills did nothing to help, all they did was ‘mask’ the pain – and as soon as they wore off Knee Pain stopped you in your tracks again

  3. A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets Knee pain as they get older, so you just accepted it

  4. You seeked help from other Healthcare Professionals or a Physio in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help

  5. You’ve tried using things like Knee supports but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain any better

  6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you experienced severe pain and swelling in your knees, but it still irritates you daily

  7. You tried a few exercises from ‘Youtube’ – but they felt painful when you did them, and did nothing to ease the pain

  If any of these have happened to you –

  The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work – you are closer to finding the thing that does!

What Can I Do To Get Rid Of MY Knee Pain Quickly?”…

Well, here’s 4 things you can do:

1. First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people rest for weeks, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or the pain and swelling gets worse
2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises– one of the best things to help you ease your Knee pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to you by a Physiotherapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quick – and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.

3.​ Avoid sitting in awkward positions – the truth is, you and I were not designed to sit. When you sit and bend your knees, you’re putting your knees in awkward, un-natural positions – which knees aren’t built to be in for too long. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.

4. Get real, “hands-on” Physiotherapy– Our Treatment is proven to help people with Knee pain. It is one of the most common issues we see people aged 50+ living with. If your Knee pain is affecting your job, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – Physiotherapy can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.

Everything you need to know about knee pain ……. And what solutions it may offer YOU.

KNEE PAIN

Knee pain is a relatively common complaint that may be caused by a number of conditions and circumstances. In many cases, knee pain is the result of strain, overuse, or poor leg biomechanics. However, knee pain can also be caused by underlying conditions affecting certain parts of the foot or leg. When this occurs, the underlying condition must be treated to restore proper alignment and functioning. Medical professionals such as Physiotherapists and orthopedic doctors will work to identify potential causes of knee pain to design and implement an appropriate knee pain treatment.

There are many different kinds of knee pain:

• Meniscus Tear

• Patello femoral Knee Pain

• Hamstring Tears

• Lateral Knee Pain or Distal IT Band Syndrome

• Knee Osteoarthritis

• Patellar Tendinitis (Runner’s Knee)

How Can a Physiotherapist Help Treat knee pain?

After a comprehensive evaluation, your therapist will analyze the findings and prescribe an exercise and rehabilitation program just for you. Your program may include:

• Strengthening exercises targeted at the hip (specifically the abductor and rotator muscles of the buttock and thigh), the knee (specifically the quadriceps femoris muscle, which is located on the front of your thigh and straightens your knee), and the ankle

• Stretching exercises for the muscles of the hip, knee, and ankle

• Taping of the patella to reduce pain and retrain muscles to work efficiently

• Exercises for improving your performance of activities that have become difficult for you

If the alignment and position of your foot and arch appear to be contributing to your knee pain, your Physiotherapist may fit you with a special shoe insert called an orthosis. The orthosis can decrease the stress to your knee caused by excessive rotation or impact during walking and running.

If your pain is persistent, your Physiotherapist may:

• Have you try a lightweight brace

• Use pain-reducing treatments such as electrical stimulation

• Recommend that you apply ice or heat at home for relief

Your Physiotherapist will work with you to help you stay active and maintain your fitness level. You may need to modify your activity level or change your training activities until you recover; your therapist will show you how to do activities and exercises that will not increase your pain. Most important, your therapist can make recommendations to help prevent PFPS from returning.

Can knee pain be Prevented?

PFPS is much easier to treat if it is caught early. Report the first signs of knee pain to your Physiotherapist. Early treatment by a Physiotherapist may help stop the underlying problem before it gets worse. Your Physiotherapist also can help you adjust your daily activities and teach you exercises to do at home to strengthen your muscles and bones and help prevent PFPS from recurring.

When it comes to getting treatment, many people are so confused and misinformed that they end up paying more than they need and going into the over-inflated super-expensive “factory system” of Healthcare. Our team at Amazing physiotherapy will help you find the best treatment option for your needs and specifically customize your treatment plan to reach your goals at the cheapest cost.

I was diagnosed with lumbosacral disc extrusion and herniation around my L3,L4,L5 Spine, from the MRI Scan and I have been battling with back pain for more than 1 year now and I was recommended Amazing physiotherapy by a friend, initially I was still in a lot of pains and had to plan a surgery in India. The surgery was cancelled and I had to continue with Physio with Dr Nnamdi. I must attest to the professionalism and dedication of the experts, i got good results in 4 months. I can sit; stand for as long as I want now, I have also adjusted my lifestyle. I will advise anyone with such pain to explore physiotherapy plus daily Exercises and prayers.

I had severe back pain and leg pain which resulted in a foot drop and I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disease from the MRI Scan which has bulged into the nerve of my left leg. The surgeon suggested surgery as the only solution with no guarantee of full recovery, I found Amazing Physiotherapy and decided to try them, the treatment I received was very personalized, Dr Nnamdi took time to attend to me and followed up on my progress from time to time. Initially I couldn’t wear my shoes. But now I can wear it as long as I want, I stand as long as I want, I exercise more now without pains. Anybody with such back pain should please see Amazing Physiotherapy and I can assure you will go home smiling and happy
