"Are You Being Held Back By Knee Pain?
At Alpha Physiotherapy we know how knee pain can affect your life. Daily discomfort, clicking, stiffness, inflammation – all of which stop your active lifestyle, family life and time with your friends!
If you’re currently suffering with knee pain, it is tempting to think that your symptoms are nothing and within a few days they will go away on their own with a bit of rest. Or perhaps you pass it off as having ‘twisted awkwardly’, or that it’s normal for ‘my age’. You find yourself using your “good knee” more, which in turn is affecting your lower back…
Rest assured that you are not alone. In fact, knee pain is one of the most common problems that we see in our Physiotherapy clinic in Martlesham, Ipswich. Countless clients visit us each week with the same frustrations and often there is no obvious reason as to why it started.
From our experience over the years, we have seen that when it comes to living with knee pain, people generally want to know why they have knee pain, and why after several months (often longer) it is still there – often worse than it was before.

“What Can I Do To Get Rid Of My Knee Pain Quickly”
Firstly, You Must Make A Decision About Getting Help.
This is the most important thing to achieving your goal of a pain free life. It’s time to stop procrastinating, thinking knee pain will just ‘go away’. It’s time to do something and the fact you are reading this is a fantastic start.
Do The Right Exercises.
It is the right series of progressive exercises that not only reduces your pain and gets you moving but ensures the pain does not come back. Additionally, regular general exercise will get you moving and improve your strength and flexibility, but also increase the “happy hormones” that your body releases during exercise. Gentle swimming, walking, cycling and Pilates can be great for this. We want you to be energetic, mobile and excited about life and our Physiotherapists are experts at providing the right exercises for you to achieve this.
Next, Avoid Sitting In Awkward Positions.
The truth is, you and I were not designed to sit. When you sit and bend your knees, you’re putting your knees in awkward, un-natural positions - which knees aren’t built to be in for too long. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
