Frequently Asked Questions
What causes knee pain? Knee pain can be caused by injuries (like ligament strains or meniscus tears), overuse, arthritis, poor posture, muscle imbalances, or issues in nearby joints like the hips or ankles. Our team will assess the root cause before recommending treatment.
Which treatment is best for knee pain? This depends on the cause of your pain. Osteopathy is a great starting point for most people, as it helps assess joint alignment and movement. Sports massage, acupuncture, and other therapies can be added depending on whether your pain is muscular, inflammatory, or due to swelling.
Do I need a diagnosis before booking treatment? No, you don’t need a diagnosis to book with us. Our experienced therapists will carry out a thorough assessment during your first appointment and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on your condition.
Is the treatment painful? Most treatments are gentle and adapted to your comfort level. You might feel some soreness after deep tissue work or certain techniques like cupping or acupuncture, but this is usually short-lived and part of the healing process.
Can I still come in if I’m not sure what’s causing my pain? Yes, absolutely. Our therapists are trained to assess and identify potential causes of knee pain. You don’t need to have all the answers, we’re here to help you figure it out and feel better.
