FAQs
How an Osteopath Supports Knee Pain
Every session begins with a full assessment of how your knee moves, loads, and compensates. Glenn also looks at surrounding areas such as the hip, ankle, and pelvis to identify underlying contributors. Many knee issues develop from poor biomechanics, muscle imbalance, or overloading patterns from other joints.
Treatment may include:
Gentle joint mobilisation and range-of-motion techniques
Myofascial release for the quads, hamstrings, and calf
Posture and gait correction strategies
Targeted advice for stairs, sitting, squatting, and walking
Soft tissue therapy to reduce tension and improve function
Each appointment is tailored to restore movement without aggravating symptoms and to support your daily activity level.

Is Osteopathy Right For Your Knee Pain
Glenn supports patients who want to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and move with more confidence. His work with the knee focuses on the whole lower limb, ensuring each part of the chain works together under physical load.
“Knee pain is often the result of something else not working well – like a stiff hip, poor foot control, or weakness above the joint. I always assess the full chain to understand where that load is coming from.”
