KNEE PAIN & INJURY PHYSIOTHERAPY IN SINGAPORE CBD

Knee pain is common after sports activity, running, squatting, missteps, previous injuries, or overuse— and symptoms may persist when movement control, strength, or load tolerance have not fully recovered.

Physiotherapy helps clarify what is contributing to knee pain and guides recovery based on how your knee responds to movement, load, and daily activity.

WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR

This page is suitable if you:

  • Have knee pain during walking, running, stairs, or squatting

  • Feel stiffness, weakness, or reduced control around the knee or thigh

  • Have had previous knee injuries that never fully resolved

COMMON KNEE CONDITIONS WE SEE

knee physioKnee pain may involve one or more of the following:

  • Patellofemoral knee pain (pain around or behind the kneecap)

  • Tendon injury involving the patellar tendon, quadriceps tendon, or hamstrings

  • Knee stiffness following injury or reduced use

  • Pain during running, stairs, squatting, or prolonged sitting

  • Symptoms following gym, sport, or repetitive work demands

  • Knee instability or loss of confidence after a previous sprain

  • Ligament or meniscus-related symptoms

  • Overuse symptoms from sudden increases in training or activity

Physiotherapy focuses on how these structures tolerate movement, load, and coordination — rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

HOW PHYSIOTHERAPY HELPS KNEE PAIN

Apart from tissue damage, persistent knee symptoms are also often influenced by:

  • Knee, hip, and ankle movement control

  • Strength and load tolerance of the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves

  • Joint mobility and coordination

  • How the knee adapts after previous injury or overuse

  • Contribution from hip or ankle mechanics

Rather than treating pain alone, physiotherapy focuses on how your knee moves, loads, and adapts over time.

Physiotherapy may involve:

  • Targeted treatment based on assessment findings

  • Progressive exercises adjusted to response

  • Gradual return to daily activities, gym training, or sport

Care is reviewed and modified as symptoms, function, or training demand change.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT HEARTLAND PHYSIO

Apart from addressing any knee-related conditions, care focuses on how your knee handles walking, stairs, squatting, impact, and daily movement. Sessions are conducted one-to-one, with assessment guiding treatment choices as recovery progresses.

Exercises are introduced to rebuild mobility, strength, control, and confidence gradually, based on how your knee adapts. Progression follows a structured approach informed by the R.E.A.L. Recovery™ framework, supporting a return to activity without rushing recovery.

RELATIONSHIP TO SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

Knee symptoms may involve strength demands, impact loading, repetitive training, or sport-specific requirements — for example during running, jumping, contact sports, field sports, or gym activity.

Where relevant, sports physiotherapy principles may be applied to support confidence, knee resilience, and return to activity.
