If your knee pain has not gone away after one week or the condition is getting worse from the initial onset, it is highly recommended that you see a physiotherapist for a thorough assessment and treatment to help you get back on track. A physiotherapist can help assess the cause of your knee pain and develop a treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms. Here are some specific reasons when you should see a physiotherapist for knee pain:

  • If you have a knee injury, such as a ligament or cartilage tear, a physiotherapist can help to manage your pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
  • If you have a chronic knee condition, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, a physiotherapist can help to manage your symptoms and improve your overall function.
  • If you have recently had knee surgery, a physiotherapist can help to guide your recovery and rehabilitation, and help you regain strength and mobility in your knee.
  • If you experience knee pain that is related to an underlying condition such as obesity, poor posture or overuse, a physiotherapist can help you to address the underlying cause of your knee pain and help you to manage your symptoms.
  • If you experience knee pain that is affecting your ability to perform daily activities, or if you are experiencing difficulty walking, running or climbing stairs, a physiotherapist can help to improve your overall function and quality of life.

 

It’s always recommended to see a physiotherapist as soon as possible after experiencing knee pain, especially if it is severe, persistent or affects your daily function. Early intervention can prevent the symptoms from becoming chronic and help to reduce the overall recovery time.

Understanding Normal Physiotherapy Reactions

Embarking on a physiotherapy program is often accompanied by a range of bodily responses, most of which are normal and indicative of the body’s adjustment to the treatments. These reactions can include sensations of fatigue, tenderness, and muscle soreness, particularly after intensive sessions aimed at mobilizing and strengthening affected areas. Recognizing these symptoms as a natural part of the healing process is essential, reflecting the body’s efforts to recover and rebuild.

Fatigue and Muscle Soreness

One of the most common experiences post-physiotherapy is feeling overtired or experiencing muscle soreness. This occurs directly due to the physical exertions involved in treatment, which may push your body beyond its usual limits to facilitate healing and improve function. While this can be uncomfortable, it is a positive sign that the body adapts and gains strength from the therapy sessions.

Managing Tenderness After Sessions

Tenderness or discomfort after a physiotherapy session is typically mild and manageable. Patients can alleviate these sensations through various methods, such as applying ice to the affected areas, engaging in gentle stretching exercises, or using over-the-counter pain relief if their physiotherapist recommends. Additionally, it’s crucial to communicate any excessive pain or discomfort to your therapist, as this may necessitate adjustments to your treatment plan.

Mild Headaches and Dizziness Explained

For treatments involving the neck or head, patients may occasionally report experiencing mild headaches or feelings of dizziness. These symptoms are usually temporary and result from manipulating muscles and joints in these areas. If you experience these side effects, it’s essential to rest and hydrate well. Should these symptoms persist, consulting with your physiotherapist for further advice is recommended.

Muscle Spasms and Stiffness

Muscle spasms or stiffness post-therapy can be unsettling but are generally short-lived. These symptoms often stem from the muscles’ reaction to the new or intensified movements and exercises introduced during physiotherapy sessions. Warm compresses, adequate hydration, and gentle stretching can help alleviate these discomforts, ensuring a smoother recovery phase.

Recognizing Rare Physiotherapy Risks

While physiotherapy is overwhelmingly safe, there’s a small risk that certain exercises or treatments could exacerbate pre-existing conditions or, in rare instances, lead to new injuries. This underscores the importance of a comprehensive assessment before beginning treatment and maintaining open lines of communication with your physiotherapist throughout your rehabilitation journey.

In Alberta, physiotherapists are considered primary care providers, so you can see a private one without requiring your doctor’s referral.

However, your physician will likely refer you to a physiotherapist for post-surgery recovery or an extended medical issue needing specialized attention. It is common for physiotherapists to collaborate with other healthcare professionals such as a doctor, occupational therapists and massage therapists to develop an individualized treatment plan for you.

In addition, if your private health insurance covers physiotherapy, you may need to provide a doctor’s referral for the insurer to cover the cost of your treatment.
