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.

She is amazing.. not inky has she healed my shoulder she also healed my sons football injury! He is back playing in only a few weeks. ANNA also gave a plan which he can do along side his training to keep him fit! She is worth her weight in Gold!Posted on Mckenzi SagerJuly 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with George at Fit to Function on and off over the past year, and I can’t recommend him enough. I was dealing with stubborn bicep tendinitis that just wouldn’t go away, but George completely sorted me out. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I also love the new location — clean, professional, and easy to get to. If you’re struggling with any tendon issues, I highly recommend trying shockwave therapy here. It made a huge difference for me!Posted on Yemi OgunsJuly 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had some neck pain for a while, same with my right toe and thumb joint from football injuries. George and Conor were very welcoming. George really helped me in understanding the cause and telling me the right treatment before administering it. Completely recommend!Posted on Yves RMJuly 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OMG amazing clinic, solved my issues and can run again. Thank you for your professionalism and attentiveness and such a warm atmosphere.Posted on Ilina KabraJuly 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Fit2Function for my ankle and had Anna Jancsurák as my Physiotherapist. She was amazing and so thoughtful and kind and very helpful in my rehabilitation. She explained everything very thoroughly and is very knowledgeable and showed me very helpful excersicesPosted on Oli EstrellaJuly 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am currently being treated by Anna at Fit2Function for recurring knee issues. Anna is a fantastic physiotherapist: knowledgeable, professional, thorough and exceptional at her job. After only 3/6 sessions, and keeping up with physio outside of official appointments (don't skip this step), my legs are stronger and my knees no longer ache throughout my long, active workdays. I cannot recommend Anna enough, and I am safe in the knowledge that, should I ever have any body-related issues, I will be in safe hands with her.
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.
