Physical therapy course · Knee pain

Knee pain does not come from a single cause, so assessment comes first

Knee pain may be caused by knee osteoarthritis, meniscus or ligament injury, inflammation, repetitive use or body weight. Where and when it hurts helps the physical therapist screen for the cause. In many cases, an individually tailored physical therapy program can help reduce pain and improve knee stability. Results vary between individuals.

Where it hurts and what it may relate to (an actual assessment is always required)

Front of the knee, around the kneecap — may relate to the patellofemoral joint or the patellar tendon
Inner knee — seen in medial knee osteoarthritis, medial meniscus or medial ligament problems
Outer knee — lateral meniscus, or tightness of the fascia along the outer thigh
Back of the knee — a cyst behind the knee (Baker's cyst), or muscles/tendons behind the knee

See a doctor before physical therapy if you have any of these symptoms: severe pain after an accident, a red, hot, swollen knee or fever, inability to bear weight, a knee that locks or cannot fully straighten or bend, a red, hot, swollen or painful calf — see a doctor first; the physical therapist will advise further tests
