Knee pain & osteoarthritis · Botley, Oxford
Knee pain on stairs, kneeling or after a walk usually has a clear, treatable cause. At our Botley clinic, a few minutes' drive from central Oxford, a chartered, HCPC-registered physiotherapist examines the knee, scans it where useful and starts treatment in the same visit.
Morning stiffness, aching after walking, pain on stairs and swelling after activity in knees showing wear-related change.
Pain at the front of the knee with squatting, stairs, driving or running, often with a sense of the kneecap grinding or giving way.
Twisting injuries, locking, catching, swelling and instability, with MRI referral arranged direct from the clinic where needed.
Wear-related change on a scan does not dictate your pain level. Quadriceps and hip strength, walking capacity and load management change symptoms substantially, and most people improve without surgery. Where pain is limiting rehabilitation, an ultrasound-guided injection can be discussed.
Front-of-knee pain, tendon problems, meniscal irritation and referred pain from the hip or back all feel similar to patients but need different treatment. We test each systematically and use in-clinic diagnostic ultrasound or direct MRI referral when the answer changes your plan.
Full knee, hip and movement examination, with scanning or MRI referral if it changes the plan.
Manual therapy, load management and pain-relieving treatment to get the knee moving comfortably.
Progressive strength and walking or running capacity so stairs, hills and sport stop hurting.
Initial assessment £75 (45 min) · Assessment with diagnostic ultrasound scan £150 (60 min) · Follow-up treatment £60 (30 min).See full physiotherapy prices and our treatments in Oxford.
