Pain Behind the Knee Physiotherapy
Do you feel pain or tightness behind your knee while walking, bending, or after sitting for long hours? Does it worsen during stairs, squatting, or exercise? Are you trying to understand the cause of persistent knee discomfort? Pain behind the knee is a common complaint and should not be ignored.
Posterior knee pain can result from hamstring tightness, muscle strain, Bakerβs cyst, ligament irritation, meniscus issues, or poor lower limb biomechanics. Prolonged sitting, sudden increase in activity, sports injuries, or weak hip and thigh muscles can overload the back of the knee, leading to pain, stiffness, or swelling.
Physiotherapy plays a key role in identifying the exact cause of pain behind the knee. Treatment focuses on reducing pain & swelling, improving flexibility of hamstrings and calf muscles, strengthening quadriceps, gluteal and hip muscles, and correcting walking or running mechanics. Manual therapy, stretching, & progressive exercises help restore knee stability & function while preventing recurrence.
Avoid sudden high-impact activities, apply ice if swelling is present, gently stretch hamstrings and calves, maintain good sitting posture, and avoid prolonged knee bending.
