Knee, Hip, Groin & Ankle Injuries
Knee pain physiotherapy in Leeds.
That dull ache or sharp pain you’re feeling in your knees could see a significant and worthwhile reduction with appropriate physiotherapy.
Your knee pain might have developed over time from wear and tear, come about suddenly from injury, or be a seasonal affair from colder temps, which in any case makes physiotherapy a must-have treatment to keep you mobile.
The cause of your knee pain is crucial to us because it determines the physiotherapy necessary for your recovery at this stage. Expect your knee physio plan to span several weeks and return a decent portion of your mobility in that time.
Knee pain symptoms
You’ll know when your knee hurts. That’s the nature of a joint, in this case, one where your thigh bone meets the shin bone, and the kneecap is a hinge. Any inflammation is felt as pain, as is any physical interruption to its operation.
Knee pain feels like:
- Aching
- Stiffness
- Sharp pains
You might also see and hear:
- Swelling
- Deformity
- Clicking
- Grinding and popping
And now the kicker: You might have difficulty or even an inability to walk, which puts you out of action. The good news is it isn’t too late to act.
When to seek physio
The earlier we can get you into our clinic, the better your results will be. You’ll likely contact us following a sports injury or accident. But age-related problems can fester and get worse, and it’s these cases where we insist you get expert help now.
The knee is a wear-and-tear item, and it needs TLC when it’s injured; otherwise, your recovery time will be enormous, and your knee could struggle to return to normal mobility.
How we’ll help you
David Stringer Physiotherapy provides the knee physiotherapy necessary to get your mobility back on track, no matter who you are.
Our goal is to improve the healing state of your knee, marginal at first but cascading into noticeable improvements.
Your first assessment will include a review of your medical history, an examination of your mobility, range of motion, and pain levels. A complete physiotherapy plan comes from this, providing a roadmap to your optimal recovery state.
Advice, of course, is personalised to you, to help you get on with your life in a way that improves recovery and prevents re-injury. Be realistic about your mobility, and your knee will heal as intended in our physiotherapy plan.

These injuries are common amongst those who exercise regularly and their symptoms can be rather misleading. For example, there are numerous structures around the hip joint which can make a subjective and specific diagnosis rather challenging. Sometimes, in the case of an ankle or knee injury, the pain can be due to a muscle tear or sprain which can be difficult to tell apart initially.
A sports hernia around the groin area can sometimes go undiagnosed for weeks and be a constant source of pain if not investigated, yet can be fixed swiftly with a simple operation once correctly addressed.
