Condition pathway

Knee & ankle recovery should point somewhere.

From sports injuries to everyday pain and post-operative recovery, the aim is to build a clear route from assessment to confident movement.

Conditions / Knee & Ankle

Know what you are dealing with.

Knee and ankle symptoms can come from tendons, cartilage, ligaments or surgery. Tap a card to see what it feels like and what to watch for.

Causes / Knee & Ankle

Why this keeps coming back.

Pain rarely has one cause. We look at load, strength, balance and recovery together to find what is driving your symptoms.

01

Tendon overload

Repeated running, jumping or a sudden spike in training load can overload the patellar, quadriceps or Achilles tendon beyond its current capacity.

OveruseLoad spike
02

Twist, fall or awkward landing

A rolled ankle, a fall or an awkward landing can sprain ligaments, strain tendons or fracture bone, leaving the joint painful and unstable.

InjurySprain
03

Joint wear and reduced capacity

Arthritis, cartilage wear or long-standing weakness and stiffness reduce how much load the knee or ankle tolerates during walking, stairs and sport.

Solution / Knee & Ankle

Calm it down, then build it up.

Your plan moves from settling symptoms to restoring strength and confidence matched to walking, running, work or sport.

01

Settle & mobilise

  • ✓Pain and swelling management after injury or surgery
  • ✓Graded knee and ankle mobility work
  • ✓Gait, footwear and bracing guidance where needed
02

Strength & control

  • ✓Progressive tendon loading and calf / quadriceps strength
  • ✓Hip, balance and landing control for knee and ankle
  • ✓Return-to-walk, run and sport mechanics
03

Stay resilient

  • ✓Ongoing load-management and training plan
  • ✓Graded return to sport or activity
  • ✓Long-term strength and prevention habits
