Knee Pain
The knee joint is the largest joint in the body and plays an important role in our daily activities, helping us to stand, walk, climb stairs, jump and run.
There are a lot of important muscles around the knee joint, including the calf muscles, hamstring muscles and quadricep muscles. It is important that all of these muscles can not only work well on their own, but also together. Often, if these muscles don’t have sufficient strength to support the joint, it can lead to injuries and pain.
Here are some of the common injuries that affect the knee:
- Ligament tears or strains (i.e. ACL, MCL, PCL or LCL)
- Osteoarthritis
- Patello-femoral injuries such as anterior knee pain, tendinopathies to the patella or quadriceps tendon
- Meniscus (cartilage) tears or damage
- Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease and Adolescent Knee Pain
- Overuse injuries (iliotibial band syndrome)
- Sports injuries in sports such as skiing, running, athletics, cycling, golf or cricket
