Osteopathic treatment can relieve acute and chronic knee and leg pain, stiffness and other symptoms and restore function by improving range of motion, reducing fibrosis and adhesions, remodeling tissue architecture, stimulating tissue regeneration, improving blood supply and normalising nerve activity.

Long term resolution can be achieved by identifying and managing underlying causative factors.

Knee conditions that may respond well to osteopathic management and treatment include:

• kneecap cartilage degeneration (chondromalacia patella);

• patella tracking dysfunction;

• recurrent patella dislocation;

• Osgood Schlatter syndrome (front knee pain in adolescents);

• tendinopathy (“jumpers knee”);

• knee ligament sprains and tears;

• knee bursitis;

• Baker's cyst;

• knee arthritis.
