Knee pain is one of the most common and limiting conditions we see—affecting people from all walks of life, from athletes and runners to everyday movers. At Pontifex Physiotherapy, we go beyond just treating the painful area. We take a deep dive into why you’re hurting and what’s needed to get you back to the life you want.

Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can come from a range of issues, including:
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) – Pain around or behind the kneecap, especially during stairs, squats, or long periods of sitting.
- Osteoarthritis – Degenerative changes in the knee joint, commonly seen in older adults. See how we support active ageing.
- Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL) – These are especially common in sports. We offer comprehensive ACL rehab for all stages—prevention, recovery, and post-surgery. Want to understand your ACL better? Start here.
- Meniscus Tears – Can be due to injury or degeneration and often lead to catching, locking, or pain with twisting motions.
- Overuse Injuries & Running-Related Pain – Training errors, poor biomechanics, or inadequate strength can overload the knee. See how we support runners.
Struggling with ACL Recovery?
It’s not uncommon for people with ACL injuries—whether operated on or not—to hit a plateau in their rehab. Often, the issue isn’t the surgery or the ligament itself, but how the whole body is responding. Our therapists are trained to identify these barriers and help you move forward when things feel stuck.
