Knee weakness

Most people come to us because of pain, but we can also help with weakness. Muscles can become weak after injury and surgery or because of poor postures. In the knee, a feeling of giving way can be caused by the knee cap being tilted or not moving correctly.

Physiotherapy treatment can involve soft tissue release of tight muscles, strengthening and balance exercises, joint mobilisations of the knee cap and taping to correct the knee cap position. You will be given advice about training and posture, to help prevent a recurrence. If a biomechanical issue is identified, you may be referred for gait analysis.
