Knee pain is very common and can affect people of all ages. It may develop gradually through overload or movement changes, or suddenly after injury.
Knee pain can be linked to tendon and ligament overload, cartilage or joint irritation, muscle weakness, or biomechanical factors from the foot and lower limb.
Because there are many possible causes, accurate assessment is essential before treatment begins.




At Assure Health Clinic, knee pain is always assessed before treatment begins. Your care pathway depends on what is driving your symptoms.
Some knee pain is influenced by foot posture, gait and lower-limb biomechanics and may be best led by a podiatrist. Other presentations are driven more by strength, control, injury or movement dysfunction and are best led by a physiotherapist.

At Assure Health Clinic our multidisciplinary approach ensures your knee pain is not viewed in isolation, but in the context of how your whole lower limb functions.
If you feel your knee pain may be linked to foot posture, walking pattern or recurring lower-limb problems, book with podiatry.
If your knee pain is related to injury, sport, weakness or movement limitation, book with physiotherapy.
