KNEE PAIN
Why Do I Have Knee Pain?
As a runner and a soft tissue injury specialist I commonly see people with a variety of knee injuries. The cause of knee injuries or knee pain are varied and often result from a combination of environmental, physical, and physiological factors, Knee pain can be caused by .
-
Repetitive motion injuries
-
Muscle imbalances
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Ligament injury
-
Tendonitis
-
Meniscus injuries
-
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
-
Osgood Schlatter Disease
Early Knee Treatment Reduces Complications
These conditions, if untreated, can often lead to an ongoing cycle of biomechanical imbalances which eventually lead to ongoing pain and degeneration of the knee as well as the hip, lower back, shoulder, or neck problems. Our body is composed of a series of structural kinetic chain, where a dysfunction or imbalance in one area can quickly lead to dysfunction in other body parts.
Knee Pain Treatments
I primarily use 2 treatment methods, followed up with post treatment advice Learn more. Methods include:
Active Release Techniques (ART)
ART is a non invasive, hands on, soft tissue technique that simultaneously locates and breaks up scar tissue...Learn More
Redcord Neuromuscular Treatment
The Neurac method aims to regain normal function movement patterns by using high levels of neuromuscular stimulation...Learn More
Sessions Needed
Typically a 45 minute initial consultation will include assessment and treatment. Follow up treatments usually go for 20mins which is purely focused on treatment and improving Range of Motion and pain and discomfort.I usually will start of between 3, to 5 treatments and see if that can be resolved within that period. Sometimes one session may be sufficient if the condition isn't too severe.
Post treatment
Post treatment is just as important as pre treatment because it is all about prevention, typically known as prehab. The Key elements of Prehab are:
1. Letting your body recover
2. Hydration
3. Nutrition
4. Keep moving!
