Injury can affect any of the ligaments, bursae or tendons surrounding the knee joint. Injury can also affect the ligaments, cartilage, menisci (cartilage) and bones forming the joint.

Physiotherapy can have a dramatic impact on many differing conditions and injuries around the knee so however bad it might feel - we can help.
