Knee pain is by far the most common injury we treat at GBI Clinic. There is an epidemic of knee injuries occurring in the general population and in sport at the moment. Whereas the vast majority of Therapists would assess and treat local to the knee, we would start by assessing the knee, but also assess globally or body wide to see what’s causing your knee pain in the first place for chronic cases. Global movement such as how your gait may be affecting it, is your foot able to move effectively in order to allow the knee to also move effectively. Is the hip contributing to your knee pain. Unless it’s an acute injury, in chronic knee pain cases very often the knee is just picking up the slack for something else that’s not able to do what it needs to. At GBI Clinic, we will find this and restore what’s missing to allow the knee to start moving and healing effectively. We also build capacity around the knee to prevent injuries from re-occuring again and take you beyond what you need for your sport or daily requirements.
