Targeted treatment to help treat knee pain
Here at Faye Pattison Physiotherapy, we work very closely with various knee consultants in and around the Chelmsford area and local surrounding areas. We have a great team of specialists to carry you the whole way from the initial consultation with your consultant all the way through to the finish, offering expert treatment for pre-surgery and post-surgery rehabilitation.
We are often able to help prevent surgical intervention by working very closely with the consultants, offering a unique treatment plan for a more conservative treatment. Surgery is not always the answer!
If you’ve suffered from a painful, stiff or swollen knee which may or may not click and clunk as a result of any activity (it’s not just sporting activities which can upset us), trauma or you are suffering from osteoarthritis in the knee; no matter what has caused your knee pain, our experienced team of physiotherapists and soft tissue therapists have the skills to offer a ‘diagnosis’, expert treatment and advice, working with you to minimise your pain, treat the cause of your pain and help to prevent reoccurrence of your pain and/ or a re-injury.
The knee pain treatment Chelmsford experts, Faye Pattison Physiotherapy, have worked with a huge number of clients to help ease their pain and discomfort.
If your pain, injury, or condition is left untreated, this could lead to referred pain to other parts of your body, an injury or even a more serious condition affecting your which could lead to requiring a surgical intervention.
Knee Injury Treatment
Knee injuries can happen for a number of reasons such as exercise, wear and tear, a fall or an accident. Depending on the extent of the damage or injury, we will develop a treatment plan with you and your knee consultant to find the best solution. You shouldn’t have to live in pain or survive on painkillers, physiotherapy is an important step in your rehabilitation and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Swollen knee treatment includes icing and resting the joint, but it’s regular movement and personalised exercise that will allow you to see marked improvement in the area. When home treatment and anti-inflammatories are no longer doing the trick, it’s time to seek professional help from experienced professionals.
