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. It is generally a good idea to see a physiotherapist if you are experiencing knee pain that is persistent or severe, or if you notice any changes in the way your knee functions. A physiotherapist can help to 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:
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.
Physiotherapy can bring about some expected side effects, like fatigue, tenderness and even muscle soreness. While these sensations are normal to experience during treatment sessions which involve mobilization and strengthening of the affected area, they may result in a bit more discomfort than usual after each session.
Other potential side effects of physiotherapy may include mild headaches or dizziness if the treatment involves the manipulation of the neck or head. Some people may experience short-term muscle spasms or stiffness after a physiotherapy session. These side effects are usually minor and should be resolved within a few days.
In rare cases, physiotherapy may aggravate pre-existing conditions or cause new injuries. It’s crucial to inform your physiotherapist of any pre-existing conditions or injuries you have before starting physiotherapy treatment.

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.
