Physical Therapy for Knee Pain

How can I recognize if the pain I feel is knee pain?

Our physical therapists at Glackin Physiotherapy examine your knee to determine the root cause.  We also assess your ankle and hip alongside due to their interconnectedness.

Common knee pain sensations:

  • Knee pain in the front, back, sides, or around the kneecap
  • Swelling around the knee joint is common with many knee conditions
  • Clicking or Popping when moving the knee
  • Instability: Some individuals may feel like their knee is giving way or unstable, especially during weight-bearing activities. This sensation can be due to ligament injuries or other structural issues.

I saw Dr Glackin after my knee replacement. He explained everything he did and why. He was cautious of my pain level and gently pushed me a closer to goal. I swear he is a miracle worker!

This is my 3rd experience with Glackin Physiotherapy (2 knee replacements and Vertigo). Dr. Selby does a great job making each session enjoyable. PT is often difficult, and her fun attitude helps distract from the discomfort of treatment. Her cupping technique always ends with greater mobility for several days after, which makes the required exercises easier to do.

Drs at Glackin Physiotherapy quickly evaluated my knee issue and described how certain stretches/exercises would improve my situation. I walked out of the session feeling confident that I was on the road to recovery.
