Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people of all ages — from young athletes to the elderly. Whether caused by an injury, arthritis, or poor posture, chronic or acute knee pain can interfere with walking, climbing stairs, exercising, and even sleeping.
At Myo Physio at Home, we offer expert home-based physiotherapy in Gurugram and Delhi NCR to help you recover from knee pain without the hassle of clinic visits.
Understanding the Knee Joint
The knee is a complex joint made up of:
Bones (femur, tibia, patella)
Cartilage (menisci)
Ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL)
Tendons and muscles
Due to its structural complexity and weight-bearing role, the knee is prone to both acute injuries and degenerative conditions.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Injuries
Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, LCL tears)
Meniscus tear
Patellar dislocation or subluxation
Fractures around the knee joint
Degenerative Conditions
Osteoarthritis (age-related wear and tear)
Rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory condition)
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee)
Chondromalacia patellae (softening of cartilage under kneecap)
Biomechanical & Lifestyle Factors
Overuse or repetitive stress (running, jumping)
Flat feet or improper footwear
Poor posture or walking pattern
Obesity (increased joint load)
Symptoms of Knee Pain

Constant or intermittent pain in the front, sides, or back of the knee
