Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Treatment in London for Knee Injuries and Knee Pain with our knee specialist

Injuries to the knee from sports and accidents can develop into significant knee pain and knee instability. In most cases the right physiotherapy rehabilitation can relieve the pain and reinforce the muscles around your knee to make it more stable. Once your knee is stable enough, by working on your proprioception and balance we will avoid any re-injury. The correct physiotherapy treatment can help avoid or delay knee surgery

What are the most common knee injuries?

---

• Knee Ligament Injuries, ACL, MCL or LTL

Knee Ligaments are a tough fibrous tissue connecting bones to other bones in and around the joint. They provide stability to the knee and extra support. When a ligament is over-stretched or even torn the fibrous tissue is damaged resulting in pain, swelling and even joint instability. Major injuries to knee ligaments include: ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament), MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) and LTL (Lateral Collateral Ligament).

• Knee Meniscus Tear

The meniscus is fibrocartilage acting like a shock absorber and separating the femur from the tibia. Each knee joint has a medial and lateral meniscus. The meniscus may tear from trauma during a sports activity or through wear and tear over a prolonged period of time.

• Kneecap injury or pain

A number of different problems may appear at the kneecap (patella). The most common, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is the term for pain behind the kneecap due to excessive pressure at the joint from poor kneecap alignment. Abnormal movement may also be evident at the patella caused by muscle imbalance, a shallow groove in the femur or poor biomechanical control. The patella may also be completely displaced (dislocated) out of its normal alignment, usually caused by trauma.

• Knee Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common knee Arthritis. It is a degenerative condition whereby the cartilage of the knee joint gradually wears down over time, exposing the underlying bone. Factors like age, weight, knee injury and genetics all have a significant role in its development. Autoimmune disease may attack the knee joint developing into Rheumatoid arthritis, causing inflammation of joint leading to pain and stiffness.

Physiotherapy rehabilitation after knee surgery can be conducted at home or in our practices in Moorgate EC2, Westminster SW1 or Clapham SW4.

The most common knee surgery includes:

• Knee Arthroscopy

A Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure whereby a small incision is made and an arthroscope is inserted allowing the surgeon to examine and repair the damaged knee joint. Commonly used for meniscus tears, and mild arthritis. A knee arthroscopy has a faster recovery time than open surgery but may not be suitable for all knee conditions.

• Knee Replacement

Knee Replacement surgery replaces damaged or diseased joint surfaces of the knee with artificial components made of metal and plastic, allowing the patient proper use and movement of their knee joint. The surgery may be a partial or total knee replacement and is most commonly performed for the different types of arthritis.

• ACL Reconstructive Surgery

An injury to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is very common among athletes and causes instability to the knee joint. ACL Reconstructive Surgery requires a graft selection usually from a donor or the patient’s patellar tendon or hamstring tendon. ACL surgery may be performed by either an arthroscope or open surgery.
