Do you recognize these knee symptoms?
Pain in your knee while walking, playing sports or climbing stairs is common and can affect anyone. The pain can occur suddenly, such as after a twisting injury, or gradually occur due to underuse or overuse. Consider complaints such as:
- Pain at the front of the knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome)
- Runner’s knee (runner’s knee) or jumper’s knee (sweater’s knee)
- Meniscus injury
- Injury to the inner or outer knee ligament
- Tear of the anterior cruciate ligament
- Osteoarthritis in the knee
- Instability of the knee (for example, after patellar luxation)
- Rehabilitation after knee surgery
The impact on your daily life, work and hobbies can be significant. At Sento Medical, we look beyond just the symptoms. We look for the underlying cause of your knee problems, whether they stem from trauma (fall or twist), overuse, a specific movement pattern or reduced muscle strength. We help you recover in a focused way, and with our guidance, you’ll discover how you can actively contribute to your recovery yourself.
Our approach to knee problems
At Sento Medical, we always start with a comprehensive 50-minute intake. We listen carefully to your story and perform a thorough physical examination to determine the cause of your knee problems. Among other things, we test the mobility, muscle strength and stability of your knee and surrounding structures.
After that, together we draw up a personal treatment plan, often a combination of:
Manual therapy
Mobilization of the knee joint and surrounding structures.
Exercise Therapy
Specific exercises to improve muscle strength, stability, flexibility, coordination and balance.
Posture and movement advice
To optimize load and support the knee.
Gait Analysis
For running or sports-related knee injuries.
