Your Knee Programme

A staged home programme for ordinary knee pain — from settling it down to loading it properly. Built for active adults who want the knee to hold up, not just stop hurting.

What this is: general strengthening for the knee, built around progressive loading. What it is not: a diagnosis. It cannot tell you what is wrong with your knee, and it does not try to.

Before anything else — get urgent help if any of these apply. New problems controlling your bladder or bowels, or numbness around your bottom or genitals. New weakness or numbness in both limbs. Chest pain, severe breathlessness, or pain into your jaw or left arm. A sudden severe headache unlike any you have had, slurred speech or facial drooping. A hot, red, very swollen joint with a fever. After an injury: an obvious change in shape, or being unable to use the limb at all.

Call 999 or go to A&E. Do not wait for an appointment, and do not start any exercise programme.
