Knee Pain

Knee Pain Treatment in Cardiff

At Governing Function Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in Cardiff city centre, we provide expert care for people experiencing knee pain.
Our approach combines osteopathy, neurology, and rehabilitation to help identify factors contributing to pain, support recovery, and restore movement and function.

Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common issue that can arise from a variety of causes, including injury, overuse, muscle imbalance, or changes in joint mechanics. It can affect people of all ages from athletes and active individuals to those experiencing chronic conditions or postural-related discomfort.

At Governing Function, we take a thorough, individualised approach, assessing the knee as part of the whole body. Often, issues in the hip, ankle, or lower back can influence knee function, so our assessment considers movement patterns, joint mechanics, and neurological function.

Common knee problems we see include:

  • Patellofemoral pain (pain around the kneecap)

  • Ligament or tendon strains (ACL, MCL, patellar tendon)

  • Meniscus or cartilage irritation

  • Knee pain from overuse or repetitive strain

  • Post-injury or post-surgical stiffness

  • Muscle imbalance and biomechanical inefficiency

Our Approach to Care

Your first consultation includes a discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and activity levels, followed by a comprehensive physical and neurological assessment.
This allows us to identify contributing factors and develop a personalised plan for managing pain, improving movement, and supporting function.

Treatment may include:

  • Osteopathic techniques to improve joint mobility and muscle function

  • Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR) to address neurological imbalances

  • Rehabilitation exercises to strengthen muscles, improve stability, and correct movement patterns

  • Advice on activity modification and long-term knee care

Our goal is to help you move more comfortably, restore function, and reduce the impact of knee pain on daily activities and sport.
