When your knee hurts on the stairs or starts aching halfway through a walk, even a simple outing can need planning. You may be wondering whether to keep exercising or avoid putting weight through it.
We will ask what has become difficult and what you would like to get back to. That might be walking the dog, kneeling in the garden or feeling more confident at the gym.
- Going up or down stairs
- Getting up from a chair
- Walking further or over uneven ground
- Kneeling, squatting or gardening
- Running or taking part in sport
What your visit involves
Your osteopath will discuss how your symptoms began and examine your knee, with relevant movement and strength checks. We will explain what we find and whether further medical assessment is needed.
A practical plan for your knee
If osteopathic care is suitable, we will agree a plan that may include exercise, activity advice and hands-on treatment. You will have a chance to ask questions before deciding how to proceed.
We will help you find a manageable level of activity and review how your knee responds. Progress is about useful changes in your day, not simply completing a set of exercises.
