KNEE LIGAMENT PROBLEMS
Your knee is an area that is quite susceptible to damage due to the large amount of ligaments and other soft tissues around the joint.
Knee problems can be varied as there are different structures that can become damaged and can cause you pain along with other symptoms.
Your knee has two joints: the patellofemoral joint which connects your knee cap to the two bones at the knee and the tibiofemoral joint which connects the tibia (upper leg) and the femur (lower leg). There are lots of ligaments in the knee that can become damaged during sporting activities or injury and this can compromise the stability of the knee joint and its alignment.
Physiotherapy can be a very effective treatment for knee problems and can help to strengthen up your knee and prevent you from re-injuring yourself, particularly returning to sports.
