Understanding Knee Pain: How We Help You Get Moving Again

Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people come into our clinic, and it can affect anyone—whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or simply trying to stay active as you age. Sometimes knee pain starts after an injury, and other times it slowly builds up over time. No matter how it begins, knee pain can make everyday activities like walking, exercising, working, or climbing stairs frustrating and uncomfortable.

At Medical Grade Physiotherapy & Wellness in Burlington, we believe knee pain deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we take a comprehensive, personalized approach, combining physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and customized home exercise programs to help you recover properly, move with confidence, and prevent future problems.

What Causes Knee Pain?

The knee is a complex joint, and pain can come from several different areas. In our clinic, we commonly see knee pain caused by:

Ligament or meniscus injuries
Pain around or behind the kneecap
Tendon irritation from sports or overuse
Arthritis and joint wear and tear
Muscle weakness or imbalances in the hips, thighs, or hamstrings
Poor movement patterns or biomechanics
Pain that’s actually coming from the hip, ankle, or lower back

Because knee pain is often influenced by how the rest of your body moves, a thorough assessment is key to lasting recovery—not just short-term relief.

How Physiotherapy Supports Knee Pain Recovery

Physiotherapy plays a major role in helping knee pain heal properly. Our physiotherapists don’t just focus on where it hurts—they take the time to understand why it hurts.

Your physiotherapy treatment may include:

A detailed assessment of how you move
Hands-on treatment to reduce stiffness and improve joint mobility
Soft tissue work for tight or overworked muscles
Strengthening exercises for the muscles that support the knee
Balance and control exercises to improve stability
Guidance on how to stay active without aggravating your knee

Whether your knee pain is new or something you’ve been dealing with for a while, physiotherapy helps you return to daily activities, work, and sports safely and confidently.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Your Knee

Many patients are surprised to learn how helpful chiropractic care can be for knee pain. Chiropractors look at how your entire body works together—not just the knee itself.

Chiropractic care may involve:

Assessing movement in the knee, hips, ankles, and spine
Gentle adjustments to improve joint function and alignment
Improving mobility in areas that may be placing extra stress on your knee
Looking at posture and walking patterns that could be contributing to pain

When other joints aren’t moving well, the knee often has to compensate. By improving overall movement, chiropractic care works hand-in-hand with physiotherapy to support long-term knee health.

Why Home Exercise Programs Matter So Much

What you do outside the clinic is just as important as what happens during your appointments. That’s why home exercise programs are a key part of every knee pain treatment plan.

At our Burlington clinic, your home exercises are:

Tailored specifically to your injury and goals
Adjusted as you get stronger and more confident
Designed to improve strength, flexibility, and stability
Practical and easy to fit into your daily routine

Staying consistent with your exercises helps speed up recovery, reinforces your in-clinic treatment, and lowers the risk of your knee pain coming back.

A Team Approach Focused on You

What truly sets Medical Grade Physiotherapy & Wellness apart is our team-based, patient-first approach. Our physiotherapists and chiropractors work closely together to create a treatment plan that fits you—not just your diagnosis.

By combining:

Evidence-based physiotherapy
Skilled chiropractic care
Personalized home exercise programs

We help address knee pain from every angle, so you’re not just feeling better now—you’re building strength and resilience for the future.

When Is It Time to Get Your Knee Checked?

It may be time to seek professional care if you’re dealing with:

Knee pain that doesn’t improve after a few days
Swelling, stiffness, or a feeling of instability
Pain with walking, stairs, or exercise
Clicking, locking, or the knee giving way
Pain that keeps coming back despite rest

Early treatment can often prevent small issues from turning into long-term problems.
