Knee Pain Treatment at home

Knee pain treatment at home.

  • Don’t walk or run through knee pain. Too much swelling deactivates the stabilising muscles around your injury which will prolong your overall recovery.

  • If your knee is swollen, try a compressive knee sleeve or bandage around your knee. It should make it feel much better unless it is too tight.

  • Check out these videos on good calf raise, squat technique and lifting technique. Knees are commonly a victim of poor muscle activation elsewhere in your legs.

  • Take a look at our favourite stretch and release exercises to treat knee pain at home.

  • If you have sustained a new, acute or sporting knee injury, take a look at our blog “How To Recover From An Injury Faster”.

  • If you have sustained a traumatic knee injury playing sport, make an appointment to get this seen to as soon as possible. Knee ligament injuries are common and need specific care to avoid delayed healing and long term compensations.

  • If your knee pain appeared out of nowhere or isn’t getting better of it’s own accord, make an appointment. Knee pain is often a result of muscle imbalance and should be assessed and rehabilitated properly to avoid prolonged problems.

  • Over the counter knee braces can often help decrease running and walking knee pain however they will not fix the root cause of your injury. Make a physiotherapy appointment to understand the root cause of your knee pain and get rid of it for good.
