If any of these structures become damaged they can cause pain, swelling, bruising or stiffness in and around the knee joint. Symptoms may be of sudden onset after an injury or trauma, or of slow gradual onset as a result of several different causes. Afew you may have heard of are, joint degeneration (Osteoarthritis), tendinopathy and bursitis (Housemaids Knee). There are many more, too many to mention in this short article. Physiotherapy can help to diagnose the root cause of the knee pain and treatment then may include advice, exercises to improve movement and strength, mobilisations, taping, ultrasound or acupuncture.

Physiotherapy for Knee Pain
Hello, I am Eileen Lewis, I have a BSc in Physiotherapy and also am a qualified Acupuncturist with over 20 years experience. In this months edition I would like to discuss Knee Pain, the causes and symptoms and how physiotherapy can help.
The knee contains two joints, namely, the tibiofemoral joint (the main part of the knee) and the patellofemoral joint (the kneecap). There are several ligaments at the knee joint, which ensure good stability, the main ones are: the Medial Collateral Ligament (on the inside), the Lateral Collateral Ligament (on the outside) and the Posterior and Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (which lie internally). There are also many other structures including the bones, menisci (or cartilage), fat pad, bursa and of course the muscles.
