Knee Pain Is Not Something You Just Have to Live With

Knee pain is not an inevitable part of ageing.

With the right treatment, most people see significant improvement — at any age.

47% of UK adults

aged 50 and over report

knee pain in any given year.

— North Staffordshire Population Survey

/ GP notebook

1 in 10 UK adults has

clinically diagnosed osteoarthritis

— the knee being

the most commonly affected joint.

— University of Nottingham

/ Clinical Practice Research Datalink, 2020

Only 1 in 3 people

with knee pain visits their GP

— meaning most are living

with untreated, manageable pain.

— Family Practice / Oxford Academic, 2007

How We Treat Knee Pain

Hands-on care is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you come in for physiotherapy or massage, our therapists work directly on your muscles, joints, and soft tissue — identifying the source of your pain and treating it with precision. Your condition, your history, and your goals shape every decision we make.

Start with Physiotherapy

Best if you want a full clinical assessment, have a complex or long-standing condition, or need records for insurance purposes.

Your first session is an Initial Assessment — your physiotherapist reviews your history, identifies the root cause of your pain, and builds a personalised treatment plan. This plan is carefully selected from a range of eight clinical treatment techniques, using only the most effective methods for your condition. Your expected recovery timeline is also recommended based on your individual needs.

Follow-up sessions draw on a full range of clinical techniques, tailored to your condition at every visit. Hands-on treatment is included in every session — including your first appointment.
