Physiotherapy for knee pain and diseases

Together, the thigh, lower leg and kneecap form the largest joint in our body: the knee. The anatomical shapes of the joint-forming bone ends do not fit exactly into each other, which is why the knee needs some auxiliary devices for stability and mobility, such as menisci, cruciate ligaments, bursae and many muscle tendons that run across the joint. However, the knee joint is relatively often exposed to injuries.

In many cases, the knee joint is over- or under-loaded. The result is acute pain, which forces the person affected to take care of the knee joint. In the following you will find a list of common symptoms of this kind:

  • Physiotherapy for a Baker cyst
  • Physiotherapy for Iliotibial Band Syndrome
  • Physiotherapy for tibial edge syndrome
  • Physiotherapy for Patellar Tip Syndrome
  • Physiotherapy for a patella luxation

Constant wear leads to a reduced cartilage layer.

This wear and tear can be caused by extreme loads or even malpositioning. Below you will find a list of such diseases:

  • Osgood disease slatter
  • Retropatellar Arthrosis
  • Physiotherapy for knee arthrosis

Traumas in sports, everyday life or at work repeatedly lead to injuries of tendons, ligaments and menisci. Below you will find a list of various soft tissue disorders in the knee joint:

  • Torn ligament in the knee joint
  • Physiotherapy with an Unhappy Triad
  • Physiotherapy for meniscus rupture
  • Physiotherapy for a ruptured cruciate ligament
