Still Waiting for That Knee Pain to Disappear on Its Own?

You rest for a few days, maybe try an ice pack or a knee support. For a moment it feels better, but soon the stiffness and ache creep back in. Climbing stairs, walking to the shops, or even rising from a chair can feel like hard work again.

At Manor Clinic, Sevenoaks, we understand how frustrating this is. Our experienced physiotherapists don’t just mask the pain. We find the real cause, strengthen the right muscles, and guide your knees back to moving the way they should.

With years of trusted care and thousands of people helped, you will feel supported from the moment you arrive.

Why Has Your Knee Pain Stuck Around This Long?

When the pain first appeared, you may have brushed it off as something small. Maybe you thought it was from walking too much, exercising harder than usual, or sitting awkwardly. A few days of rest and some tablets should have fixed it. Yet the discomfort is still there. Some mornings your knee feels stiff, and other days it aches after even the smallest movement.

This is something we hear often at Manor Clinic. Many people come to us after trying different remedies for weeks, only to realise nothing has worked for long. That’s because most quick fixes don’t deal with what is really happening inside the joint.

Here are some common reasons knee pain lingers:

Waiting and Hoping

Rest alone rarely solves the problem. Pain often returns the moment you start moving again.

Relying on Painkillers

Tablets may dull the ache for a while, but they never solve the root issue.

Avoiding Activity

Staying still weakens muscles around the knee, which can actually make pain worse.

Temporary Supports

Braces and straps may give comfort, but they rarely bring lasting change.

Accepting as Ageing

Many believe knee pain is something they must live with — but it can be treated.

Our Solution

We focus on finding the cause and building strength, flexibility, and proper movement patterns.

The truth is, knees recover best when strength, flexibility, and movement are restored in the right way. That’s what our physiotherapists focus on: finding the cause of the problem and building a plan that allows you to move with confidence again.

Our Approach to Lasting Knee Pain Relief

At our clinic in Sevenoaks, we know that no two knees are the same. That is why your recovery begins with a complete assessment. We listen to your story, understand when the pain started, and check how your knee moves. This helps us find the real cause of the problem instead of only treating the surface symptoms.

Once we know what is happening, we create a plan that is built around you. For some people the focus is on building strength in the muscles around the knee. Others may benefit more from improving flexibility, correcting posture, or learning new movement patterns. Often it is a combination of all these together.

Here is what our clinic includes in your care:

  • iconHands-on physiotherapy to ease stiffness, improve movement, and reduce pain.
  • iconPersonalised exercises that rebuild strength and support the joint.
  • iconPosture and walking guidance to reduce pressure on the knee and protect it long term.
  • iconLifestyle advice to help you avoid flare-ups and keep steady progress.

Our aim is not just to make the pain disappear for a short while. We want lasting relief and stronger knees that let you return to the activities you love, whether that is gardening, running, playing with your children, or simply walking with ease.

Proven Ways We Support Knee Pain Recovery

Every knee is different. We use proven treatments chosen carefully to suit your condition and lifestyle.

Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Targeted exercises strengthen weak muscles, restore balance, and make the knee more stable. Tailored to you and progress as your strength improves.

Manual Therapy

Gentle, hands-on techniques ease stiffness, improve circulation, and help the joint move more freely. Reduces pain and restores smoother movement.

Strength & Flexibility

Build strength in the right areas and improve flexibility to reduce pressure and prevent flare-ups. Weak or tight muscles place extra strain on the knee.

Posture, gait, and movement retraining

Small habits in the way you sit, walk, or run can add to your pain. We guide you to correct these patterns so your movements protect the joint instead of harming it.

Taping, bracing, or supports

In some cases, temporary support can provide relief and confidence while the joint heals. Our clinic shows you how and when to use these safely.

Lifestyle and prevention advice

From footwear choices to activity levels, small adjustments in daily life make a big difference. We help you build healthy habits that keep your knees strong for the future.

Our aim is simple: not just short-term relief, but lasting improvement that lets you return to the activities that matter most to you.
