Physiotherapy is a highly recommended approach to address pain and other musculoskeletal issues that may affect any body part. At Granville Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic, we can help you restore the strength of your knee and improve your movement with it. Our Edmonton physiotherapists will assess your knee to identify the cause of your knee problem and identify contributing factors that may increase pain. Also, knee pain can be due to problems with the ankle , hip, or back and structural damage to sensitive tissues around the knee in severe cases. Our physiotherapist will examine all possible factors linked to knee pain to ensure all potential harm is ruled out before a treatment plan is designed to relieve your pain and restore your overall health.

During a typical treatment session, your physiotherapist will ask you to move your hip and back and examine your gait, stance, range of motion, posture, and structural damage using special tests. After completing your assessment, they will administer a therapeutic plan that will be adopted to address your condition, which will focus on fast pain relief and eradication of symptoms. Your treatment plan may include exercises, physical activities, manual techniques, specific movement, and other therapeutic modalities like acupuncture, nutrition, and guidance & counselling.

As the treatment process, your recovery becomes our foremost priority; as a result, your physiotherapist will modify your treatment plan by including and excluding different therapy techniques to improve your knee condition. However, the type of therapy technique may differ from one patient to another based on their condition. Therefore, our physiotherapist will decide the type of treatment suitable for you depending on the result of your overall assessment.

The use of exercise has gained significant improvement in easing specific knee problems. For example, according to research, patients with patellofemoral stress syndrome, also known as kneecap pain, tend to recover better when therapeutic exercises which concentrate on strengthening the knees and hips are administered to them. Therefore, with a few therapy sessions with us, you will be capable of doing your regular activities gradually until you fully recover. 

The knee has a hinge joint that enables it to perform forward and backward motions when sitting or walking. The knee supports the hip and is six times your overall body weight. When the knee is in proper condition, you can perform various kinds of movement based on its standard limits. Also, you will be able to move your hip, make complex motions and walk, dance, run, and stand without tripping.

According to research, about 25 % of people with knee pain often discover that the lower back is the primary source of the problem. Our physiotherapist often examines the back and the spine to know if they are the primary cause of your joint problem
