Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can develop suddenly or over time—and it often limits your ability to walk, squat, run, or even sleep comfortably. The most common causes include:

  • Arthritis

A leading cause of chronic knee pain, especially in older adults. It creates joint inflammation, stiffness, and swelling.

  • Tendinitis

Inflammation of the tendons—often the result of repetitive activity or sports—causes pain around the kneecap or joint line.

  • Bursitis

When the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) around the knee become irritated, they create localized swelling and discomfort.

  • Meniscus Tear

A common sports or twisting injury that affects the cartilage cushioning the knee. Symptoms include swelling, pain with movement, or a “locking” sensation.

  • Fractures

Bone breaks in the femur, tibia, or kneecap (patella) due to trauma or osteoporosis may lead to significant pain and instability.

Symptoms of Knee Pathology

If you’re dealing with knee pain, you may experience:

  • Mild to severe pain during movement or at rest
  • Swelling or puffiness around the joint
  • Stiffness and limited range of motion
  • Redness or warmth over the kneecap
  • Difficulty bearing weight or walking
  • Clicking, catching, or locking of the joint

Persistent or worsening symptoms should be addressed with a professional treatment plan.

Physical Therapy for Knee Pain Relief

As a physical therapist, I help clients restore movement and stability through customized, non-invasive rehab. Your treatment may include:

Stretching & Range of Motion

These exercises increase flexibility in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves—restoring joint mobility and comfort.

Strengthening Work

We build up the supporting muscles around the knee (quads, glutes, hamstrings) to protect the joint and reduce strain.

Balance & Proprioception Training

Targeted drills retrain your body’s sense of position and improve control, especially after injury or surgery.

Manual Therapy

Includes hands-on techniques to reduce joint stiffness, release muscle tension, and improve circulation.

Functional Movement Coaching

You’ll learn how to move, squat, stand, and climb stairs with less pain—and better long-term biomechanics.

All rehab plans are personalized to your condition, activity level, and recovery goals.
