Physiotherapy for Knee Injuries

Your knees are vital joints that help you walk, run, climb, and enjoy your favorite activities. However, they also endure significant stress, making them prone to injuries. In Singapore, knee injuries are increasingly common due to active lifestyles, competitive sports participation, and an aging population. Whether caused by a sudden sports accident or years of wear-and-tear, untreated knee injuries can severely impact your quality of life.

At Total Orthopaedic Care & Surgery, we specialise in personalised physiotherapy for knee injuries. Our goal is to alleviate pain, rebuild strength, and help you return to your activities safely and confidently.

Why Physiotherapy is Essential for Knee Injuries

Physiotherapy is a non-invasive, effective solution to restore knee function and joint health. By combining targeted exercises and proven techniques, it reduces pain, enhances mobility, and strengthens the knee. Early intervention with physiotherapy is critical in preventing long-term complications and avoiding over-reliance on medications or surgery.

Our experienced team develops customised recovery plans tailored to your injury, lifestyle, and goals, ensuring a faster and safer return to daily activities.

Common Knee Injuries Treated with physiotherapy

We manage a wide range of knee injuries, including:

1. Ligament Injuries (e.g., ACL, MCL Sprains or Tears):

Often caused by sudden twists or sports trauma, ligament injuries affect knee stability. Our physiotherapy focuses on pain relief, joint stability, and muscle strengthening to support recovery.

2. Meniscus Tears:

Common in sports and age-related wear-and-tear, meniscus tears cause pain and swelling. Whether managed surgically or non-surgically, physiotherapy helps reduce symptoms and improve joint function.

3. Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee):

Overuse injuries like jumper’s knee are prevalent among athletes. Our therapy reduces inflammation, strengthens the tendon, and minimises the risk of re-injury.

4. Knee Osteoarthritis:

Aging populations frequently experience osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition. Targeted exercises improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain to maintain independence.

5. Post-Surgical Recovery:

Following procedures like ACL reconstruction or knee replacement, structured physiotherapy is essential to restore strength, mobility, and confidence.
