Knee pain

Physiotherapy can be incredibly helpful for knee pain. Whether caused by injury, overuse or a long-term condition like arthritis, we can help you restore function and get back to the activities you love.

Our physiotherapists work on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving flexibility, and reducing pain. Chronic knee pain may also benefit from supplementary treatments like shockwave therapy, blood flow restriction training or acupuncture.

Knee conditions we treat include meniscus tear, anterior cruciate ligament injuries, cartilage injuries, patellar dislocation, runners’ knee and arthritis.

Shoulder pain

A shoulder problem can make life difficult and frustrating. It may cause pain when lifting the arm, reaching behind or overhead or performing day to day activities. Whether your problem started suddenly, e.g. from an accident or sudden change in activity, or whether it developed over time, physiotherapy exercises to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder and to increase range of motion can be highly effective. Manual therapy, acupuncture and shockwave therapy can also provide relief.

We’re here to help with all your shoulder problems including rotator cuff issues, generalised pain and tightness, a fractured shoulder, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, dislocation and arthritis.

Hip pain

Hip pain can severely limit mobility and interfere with day-to-day activities such as shopping, working, socialising and enjoying hobbies. Our physiotherapists implement targeted interventions to strengthen hip muscles, alleviate pain, help the joint to move more freely and get you back to your daily activities as quickly as possible.

Some of the most common causes of hip pain that we see include bursitis, arthritis, fractures, labral tears and impingement.

Physiotherapy for Arthritis

Living with a chronic condition can be debilitating. While arthritis is often viewed as an unavoidable consequence of ageing, with the right physiotherapy and management strategies it’s possible to significantly improve your symptoms and enhance your wellbeing.

Our physiotherapists are experienced in managing all types of arthritis and focus both on providing immediate pain relief as well as long-term pain management.

As well as all the above, we also provide physiotherapy to all the other joints in the body including the hands and feet, the elbow, spine and neck.

How we work with joint pain and arthritis

Whether you’re experiencing joint pain from injury or overuse, or living with arthritis, our Milton Keynes physiotherapy clinic offers specialised treatments to minimise pain, improve mobility and help you stay active.

Everybody experiences pain differently. Pain can also be intensified by factors unique to the individual such as previous experience of pain, lifestyle factors and the body’s own pain ‘alarm system’. Our approach to your care is therefore highly personalised, taking into account your unique body, specific symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. We also provide advice on self-care strategies to help you better manage any ongoing pain.

We’re committed to helping you reach your health goals and work closely with leading consultants in the field of rheumatology, orthopaedics, sports and exercise, and the musculoskeletal system, to ensure the best possible outcomes for you.

As your strength and range of movement improves, your physiotherapist will help you to advance your exercises at a pace that’s suitable for you and your body.

Don’t let joint pain or arthritis stop you getting the most out of life. Book an appointment today with one of our expert (and friendly!) physiotherapists.
