Knee Pain Physiotherapy in London
Fix the Cause of Your Knee Pain and Get Back to Confident Movement
Whether your pain is from running, the gym, work or wear and tear, we help you understand what’s causing it and guide you step-by-step back to full function.
Why your knee pain keeps coming back
If your knee pain keeps returning, it’s rarely just a “knee issue”.
Most people don’t struggle because they haven’t had knee pain treatment.
- The underlying cause of their knee pain was never clearly identified
- Treatment focused on reducing pain, not fixing the problem
- There was no structured plan to rebuild strength and stability.
So the knee pain cycle repeats itself.
Pain improves and then comes back, sometimes worse than before.
At Fit2Function, we break that cycle by identifying the true cause of your knee pain and building a structured recovery plan from day one
Our Approach to Knee Pain Treatment
Every client we see suffering with knee pain, follows a structured 4-step process:
We assess how your knee is moving, loading and being supported, identifying whether the issue is coming from the knee itself or elsewhere (hips, ankles or movement patterns).
We reduce pain and improve movement using hands-on therapy and advanced treatment where appropriate.
We rebuild strength, control and stability through targeted rehabilitation so your knee functions properly again.
We prepare your body for real-world demands, whether that’s walking, training, running or sport.
Most knee treatments stop at pain relief.
We focus on long-term results.
What Happens on Your First Visit
Your first appointment is 60 minutes and designed to give you clarity from day one.
We take the time to understand your issue fully, explain what’s happening and outline exactly what needs to be done to achieve long-lasting results.
This is not a quick fix, it’s the starting point of a structured recovery process.
You will receive:
- A full assessment of your knee pain
- A clear diagnosis explained in simple terms
- Hands-on treatment where appropriate
- A structured treatment plan outlining exactly what to do next
You won’t leave guessing what’s wrong.
You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it.

What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain refers to discomfort, stiffness, or soreness in or around the knee joint. It can arise suddenly from an injury or develop gradually due to overuse or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. The knee is a complex joint that bears much of the body’s weight, making it susceptible to strain. Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle imbalances, poor posture or improper movement patterns. It can affect anyone, from athletes with sports injuries to older adults experiencing wear and tear. At Fit2Function Clinics in Oxford Circus and Covent Garden, we assess the root cause of your knee pain to create an effective treatment plan that gets you back on your feet.

Knee Pain FAQs
How to relieve knee pain?
Knee pain relief starts with identifying the root cause of your pain. For most cases, rest, ice and elevation can help reduce acute inflammation. Physiotherapy exercises, advanced injury treatments, stretching and strengthening can also provide long-term relief.
What’s the difference between a knee strain, sprain, or ligament injury?
A strain refers to muscle or tendon injury, a sprain is an injury to ligaments and a ligament injury often involves a tear or rupture (e.g ACL injury). Our team at Fit2Function will diagnose your knee injury and work out the best treatment approach moving forwards.
How long does knee pain last?
The duration of knee pain depends on the cause. Acute injuries may heal in a few weeks with proper treatment, while chronic conditions like osteoarthritis may require long-term management and rehabilitation.
What exercises help with knee pain?
Strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles can help support the knee joint. We provide a tailored exercise plan that includes low impact movements, strengthening and mobility exercises to improve function and reduce pain.
How does a Physiotherapy help with knee pain?
A Physiotherapist will assess your knee, diagnose the cause of your pain and guide you through exercises to improve strength, flexibility and stability. They will also use manual therapy to address joint restrictions and alleviate discomfort. Our Physiotherapists are also trained on all our advanced treatments.
