Types of knee pain and their causes
There are various types of knee pain, each with its own set of causes. Here are some common types of knee pain and their associated causes:
It's important to note that these are general types of knee pain and individual cases may have multiple factors contributing to knee pain. When you consult with Pro-Form physio for knee pain, we ensure to accurately diagnose the specific type and underlying causes of knee pain in order to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
-
Knee pain resulting from sudden injuries such as ligament tears (e.g., ACL, MCL), meniscus tears, fractures, or dislocations. These injuries often occur during sports activities or accidents and can feel like a sudden sharp or stabbing pain in or around the knee.
-
Knee pain caused by repetitive stress on the knee joint, leading to conditions such as patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee), tendinitis, or bursitis. This is often a dull or nagging type of knee pain. Activities like running, jumping, or prolonged kneeling can contribute to this type of pain.
-
OSTEOARTHRITIS
Knee pain resulting from the wear and tear of the joint over time. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition characterised by the breakdown of cartilage, leading to effects on bone surfaces, inflammation, and pain. Osteoarthritis can make your knee feel stiff, puffy and swollen when you rise from a sitting position, and in some cases wobbly or like it's going to buckle. You may also experience cracking or grinding noises accompanied by sensations of pain when you move your knee.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITISAn autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation in the joints, including the knees. Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to joint damage, swelling, stiffness, and constant pain, usually that is felt most in the morning.
GOUT
A type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, including the knee. Gout flare-ups result in intense pain, swelling, and redness
-
Inflammation of the tendons surrounding the knee joint, often caused by repetitive activities, improper form, or sudden increase in physical activity levels. You may experience a dull ache, or knee pain particularly when you perform certain activities like running, jumping and walking.
-
Irritation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of tissue running along the outside of the thigh. IT band syndrome commonly occurs in runners and can cause pain on the outer side of the knee.
How Proform Physiotherapy Can Help
Your discomfort has a story, we read it.
Most standard clinical approaches chase local symptoms. At Proform, we trace the thread—from how you move and manage physical load, to why the discomfort showed up in the first place.
Here is how we redefine your care:
WE LISTEN, THEN WE LOOK
Every body tells a different movement story. Our experienced clinicians assess your full kinetic chain, strength balance, and daily biomechanics. This builds an objective picture of what is driving your limitations—focusing not just on where it hurts, but “why”.
INDIVIDUALISED CLINICAL CARE
Our modern facilities are equipped to support progressive, active rehabilitation. Your care merges tailored manual therapy with structured exercise strategies chosen specifically for your physical presentation—never pulled from a generic template.
PATIENT -CENTERED LONGEVITY
We treat individuals, not just injuries. Your management plan is designed to easily adapt to your training volume, career demands, and lifestyle. We partner with you throughout your rehabilitation journey, providing clear education to ensure you build physical strength that lasts.
Get back to doing what you love, sooner
This is the Proform approach.
We don't hand you a sheet of exercises and send you on your way. You'll work with a physio who explains what's happening, adjusts the plan as you progress, and holds themselves to the same standard you'd expect from any high-performance team.
Same-week appointments available across all seven clinics. Call (02) 8320 6186 or book online.
