Causes, resources and physiotherapy exercises
Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and can affect people of all ages.
The knee is involved in almost every daily and sporting activity, meaning that even minor symptoms can significantly affect quality of life.
When knee pain develops, it is common to experience difficulties with:
- walking for extended periods
- going up or down stairs
- squatting
- getting up from a chair
- running or participating in sports
- twisting on the leg
- performing certain daily activities
However, not all knee pain has the same cause.
Different structures may be involved, including the menisci, ligaments, tendons, muscles, or the joint itself.
For this reason, performing generic exercises without first understanding the possible source of the problem does not always provide the best results.
In physiotherapy, identifying the most likely cause of the symptoms helps guide exercise selection and allows for a more specific recovery strategy.

I am Antonio, a physiotherapist specialising in musculoskeletal conditions and the founder of PhysioCareHub.
Our philosophy is simple:
Understand the problem before trying to solve it.
For this reason, we have developed a Complete Knee Assessment designed to help you better understand your symptoms and identify the most appropriate protocol for your situation.
Complete Knee Assessment
If you are experiencing knee pain but are unsure of the possible cause, we recommend starting with our Complete Knee Assessment.
Through guided questions, photographs, and explanatory videos, you will be able to evaluate different aspects of the joint and better understand the potential source of your symptoms.
The goal is not simply to perform exercises, but to help you choose the most appropriate protocol for your specific condition.
📖 Don’t worry if this PDF contains several pages
Everyone experiences pain differently, which is why this programme includes several rehabilitation protocols.
After completing the guided self-assessment, you’ll be able to identify the section that best matches your symptoms and go directly to the exercises and recommendations designed for your specific situation.
This way, you can focus only on the information that is most relevant to you, without having to read the entire document.
Free Specific Protocols
If you already have a good idea of what may be causing your symptoms or have received a previous diagnosis, you can also access our free specific protocols.
Each page includes additional information, screening questions, and physiotherapy exercises designed to help you begin your recovery.
We currently offer the following free specific protocol:
Meniscus Injury
Do you experience pain when going up or down stairs, twisting on your leg, or during certain weight-bearing movements?
Additional knee-specific protocols will be available soon.
Support
If you have any questions, need further information, or are unsure which option is best for you, we are here to help.
You do not have to go through this alone.
