The knee takes an enormous amount of load in daily life through walking, climbing stairs, squatting, running, and sitting for long periods. It's a joint that depends heavily on what's happening above and below it, meaning the hip, pelvis, and foot all play a role in how well it functions and how much stress it absorbs.
 

At Movement Osteopathy, knee assessments don't stop at the joint itself. We look at how your foot strikes the ground, how your hip is controlling movement, and how the surrounding muscles are loaded and functioning. That broader picture is often where the most useful information sits.
 

Treatment is tailored to what's actually driving your knee pain, whether that's a specific structure that needs offloading, a movement pattern that needs addressing, or a rehabilitation program to build the strength and control your knee needs for what you're asking of it.
 

Common conditions we treat include:
 

• Patellofemoral pain syndrome

• Iliotibial band syndrome

• Patellar tendinopathy

• Meniscus irritation and injuries

• Ligament sprains including ACL, MCL and LCL

• Osteoarthritis of the knee

• Bursitis

• Post-surgical rehabilitation

• Osgood-Schlatter disease in younger patients
