Knee pain is a common symptom that affects individuals across all age groups. Whether it stems from injury, overuse, or chronic conditions like arthritis, knee pain can significantly hinder your ability to bear weight or engage in daily activities.

Knee Injuries: Leading Causes of Knee Pain
Knee injuries are among the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. They may result from sports, falls, or repetitive strain and can cause pain, swelling, and instability. Common knee injuries include:
- Torn meniscus: Often caused by twisting or rotating the knee forcefully.
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries: A major injury that often requires surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
- Iliotibial band syndrome: Pain along the outer side of the knee caused by repetitive motion.
- Patellar dislocation: When the kneecap moves out of its normal position.
- Septic arthritis: A serious infection causing knee pain and swelling.
- Torn cartilage: A result of high-impact injuries or wear and tear.
These injuries require a definitive diagnosis and expert care for optimal recovery.
