Knee pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. It may come on suddenly after an injury or build up gradually due to wear and tear. Common causes of knee pain include:

• Sports injuries – such as sprains, strains, or ligament damage

• Overuse or repetitive strain – from running, cycling, or certain jobs

• Arthritis – age-related changes that cause stiffness and discomfort

• Posture or alignment issues – where the hips, pelvis, or feet place extra strain on the knees

• Previous injuries – which may affect balance and movement

Knee pain can lead to stiffness, swelling, and difficulty with everyday activities such as climbing stairs, walking, or exercising.

At our Sheffield osteopathy clinic, we take a whole-body approach to treating knee pain. Osteopathic treatment may include:

• Reducing tension in the muscles and joints surrounding the knee

• Improving mobility in the hips, pelvis, and lower back, which all influence knee function

• Supporting recovery from sports injuries

• Providing exercises and advice to strengthen the knee and prevent further problems

• Helping manage arthritis-related pain and stiffness naturally

By addressing both the knee itself and the way the body moves as a whole, osteopathy can relieve discomfort, restore mobility, and reduce the chance of knee pain returning.

If knee pain is limiting your movement and you live in Sheffield, book an appointment today to see how osteopathy can help you stay active and comfortable.
