When you walk into my clinic holding your knee, I can almost hear your story before you speak,” says Dr. Raina Ranney. “Sometimes it’s the frustrated weekend athlete, sometimes it’s a busy executive who hasn’t bent their knees properly in months. Either way, I know what’s running through your mind – ‘Will I ever move without pain again?’”

At Genesis Physiotherapy Clinic, we make that answer a confident yes. I’ve spent years helping people from all walks of life — athletes, homemakers, office-goers, retirees — not just get rid of knee pain, but reclaim their ability to move without fear. As a sports and musculoskeletal therapist in Mumbai for more than 15 years, my focus isn’t only on recovery. It’s on making sure you never end up back in that painful place again.

Medical Conditions That Can Cause Knee Pain

  • Osteoarthritis – Cartilage gradually wears away, reducing cushioning.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis – Autoimmune inflammation damages joint lining.
  • Osteoporosis – Weak bones are prone to fracture under pressure.
  • Hormonal Changes – Menopause-related drops in estrogen affect joint health.

Prevention Tips:

  1. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
  2. Keep weight under control.
  3. Engage in regular, joint-friendly exercise.
  4. Get bone health screenings.
  5. Seek treatment at the first sign of stiffness.

Injuries That Commonly Cause Knee Pain

  • ACL/MCL Tears – Often in sports with quick stops or pivots.
  • Meniscus Tears – Twisting injuries under load.
  • Patellar Dislocation – Kneecap slides out of place.
  • Tendonitis – Overuse injury from repetitive movement.
  • Fractures – Caused by falls or blunt impact.

Prevention Tips:

  1. Always warm up before an activity.
  2. Use correct sports techniques.
  3. Wear activity-appropriate shoes.
  4. Rest adequately between sessions.
  5. Build muscle strength for stability.

What Research Says About Knee Pain

Research consistently shows that knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, with the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics reporting that 40% of sports-related injuries in India involve the knee. The Indian Journal of Sports Medicine highlights that starting physiotherapy early can cut recovery time by nearly 50% and greatly reduce the chances of re-injury.

Studies further confirm that structured physiotherapy programs—combining exercise therapy, manual therapy, and patient education—lead to significant improvements in pain, mobility, strength, and overall quality of life. Early intervention not only restores function faster but also prevents chronic pain, reduces the need for surgery, and lowers dependence on pain medication.

How Physiotherapy Helps Your Knees

Physiotherapy tackles the root cause — not just symptoms. We restore alignment, strengthen supportive muscles, retrain movement patterns, and prevent re-injury.

Sports-Specific Knee Rehabilitation

Sports demand more than just basic recovery — they require precision movement, reaction speed, and endurance. Our programs simulate your sport’s specific motions, whether it’s pivoting for tennis, sprinting for football, or lunging in badminton. This not only rebuilds physical ability but also restores the mental confidence to return without hesitation.

Post-Surgical Knee Rehab

After surgery, time is of the essence to prevent stiffness and muscle loss. We guide you through safe early mobility, progressive strengthening, and gait retraining. Each stage is measured and monitored so you regain full function without setbacks, whether you’ve had ligament repair or a total knee replacement.

Chronic Knee Pain Management

For those living with discomfort for years, relief can feel impossible. We use a combination of manual therapy, targeted strengthening, joint unloading techniques, and lifestyle adjustments. The goal isn’t just to reduce pain, but to restore your independence and confidence in everyday activities.
