Knee, Hip and Ankle Pain Physio in Hackney

This group covers anterior knee pain (runner’s knee), hip flexor and gluteal tendinopathy, and ankle sprains. Common causes include sudden jumps in training load, running gait and injuries not fully rehabilitated. NHS guidance suggests appropriate exercise is central to managing joint and tendon pain. Seek urgent medical attention if you cannot bear any weight after an injury, or a joint looks deformed or is hot and swollen with fever.

We start with a detailed history of your training, previous injuries and what aggravates your symptoms, then assess joint range, strength and movement patterns relevant to your sport, including running gait where appropriate. We explain what we find in plain language and agree a plan around the goal that matters to you.

Tendon and joint-related pain in the lower limb often takes longer to settle than a simple muscle strain, and rebuilding load tolerance is a gradual process, typically over several weeks to a few months depending on severity and your training goals. We set milestones with you along the way, from pain-free daily activity through to a structured return to running, sport or your club training in Hackney and East London.
