Searching for a specialist Osteopath for Knee Pain?

Osteopathy is a practice that looks at how the body works as a whole, focusing on how the joints, muscles and ligaments function together to help realign your form and support physical wellbeing and joint health before any injuries arise.  

At West 1 Health, our goal is not only to reduce any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing but also to help you understand the cause of the issue to reduce the likelihood of problems recurring. Based near Harley Street, our central London clinic is conveniently located so you can make appointments that fit into and around your schedule and get well on your way to recovery.

 Common Causes of Knee Pain

  • Sprains and strains - more often than not, these occur as a result of overstretching, overuse or twisting the knee during exercise. 
  • Tendonitis - a pain between your kneecap and shin often caused by repetitive movements like running or jumping.
  • Torn Ligament - you’ll likely have heard of people tearing their ‘ACL’ (Anterior Cruciate Ligament), or having torn the meniscus. Both are quite common among active or elite sportspersons and can lead to severe pain or buckling when trying to stand and make it challenging to straighten the leg.
  • Dislocation - A sudden change in direction of the kneecap can cause it to discloate, causing great discomfort or pain. 
  • Osgood-Schlatter's disease - Inflammation of the patella (the underside of the kneecap) that causes swelling below the kneecaps. This occurs most often in teenagers and young adults.
  • Anterior Knee Pain - often caused by the softening and breakdown of cartilage on the patella
  • Side effects during recovery from a knee replacement surgery
  • Arthritis

The advantages of osteopathy

  • You may not realise it but the whole body and its functions are connected, so something as simple as an imbalance elsewhere in the body could be putting strain or excess pressure through your knees. Osteopathy uses a unique philosophy that assesses the body as a whole rather than a sole injury so whatever the cause, our specialist osteopaths will help identify the issue and realign your form to help alleviate your knee pain.
  • Osteopathy is based on a hands-on approach, using soft tissue and joint mobilisation techniques without the need for invasive treatment or surgery to correct issues.

What To Expect

At West 1 Health, our specialised osteopaths have years of experience under their belts in treating knee pain and can create a tailored and effective treatment plan that addresses your individual condition and recovery needs.

During your first appointment with West 1 Health, your osteopath will examine your posture and range of motion, as well as get to know more about your medical history and your lifestyle to best understand the factors attributing to your knee pain symptoms.

Once the cause and pain-generating structures have been identified, your osteopath will walk you through their findings and discuss your options for treatment. Within this, they will outline the timelines, management options and any benefits or associated risks for transparency so you can make an informed decision. The session will then conclude with your initial treatment, which typically involves realigning the body by moving, stretching and massaging the muscles and joints.

Your osteopath will also provide you with exercises to integrate into your lifestyle to support treatment, help alleviate back pain in between sessions and get you on the road to recovery.

Our aim is for you to leave your first session with weight off your shoulders knowing that you’re in good hands, and a physical improvement to your knees as well.
