Knee pain — causes, fixes & when to see a physio

I wanted to give a bit of a longer review. I saw Jo about 3 weeks ago about knee pain i'd been having. After a conversation and some diagnostics Jo was able to tell me, accurately, the inury I had and provide me loads of helpful information on treatment. I returned to see Jo today and although my knee is still painful (I have a meniscus tear which will take time to heal), lots of progress has been made and its certainly headed in the right direction. I really could not recommend Jo highly enough, she's friendly, knowledgable and has really helped me. If you're in pain or stuggling with an injuriy that won't go away – get yourself booked in you won't regret it!

The review below was prepared 7 years ago…..My views about Impact Physiotherapy haven't changed….I am still very pleased with both the Pilates classes and the physiotherapists…..almost 20 years after starting……. My husband and myself have attended Pilates classes at Impact Physiotherapy in Long Eaton for well over 10 years. We highly recommend the classes run by their physiotherapists (small groups and individual attention when it's necessary to adjust exercises because of physical injury etc). When we suffered from back and knee problems respectively, we had no hesitation in contacting Impact physiotherapists for private treatment. We were both very satisfied with the outcome: following a first meeting for medical assessment, the sessions helped us get better, offering professional treatment, plenty of advice and a programme of exercises to do at home. Although sessions are quite pricey, you don't have to wait for an appointment for very long and staff don't try to book you in for more sessions than necessary. We liked their very active approach of getting patients involved in their own recovery!

I’ve been experiencing knee pain while running so I visited Pete Grey. He examined me thoroughly and offered some valuable tips on improving my running technique. His helpfulness, knowledge and friendly demeanour made the entire visit enjoyable. I highly recommend him and I’ll definitely return if I ever need his expertise again.

I went to Impact with ongoing shoulder and knee pain that were hindering both gym practice and sleep. After only two sessions and some very helpful exercises (complete with videos), I was ready to be signed off. The support from Julie was warm, friendly, non-judgmental and totally encouraging from start to finish. Explanations and demonstrations were clear and gave me all I needed to know to carry out the exercises at home. Julie was very effective in helping me get back on track and I would highly recommend if considering whether it is right for you.

Alan is excellent, friendly and a pleasure to visit. He has given me the exercises I need to help my knee get better. After just over a month and two sessions doing the exercises, I am getting far less pain than I was before.

Impact physio was given as an option from Bupa when I completely ruptured my ACL last year. I found Sally Moore on the list as she had experience with ski injuries. After seeing a consultant who was not sympathetic at all and made me feel like a useless middle aged woman who didn't need an ACL, Sally was amazing. She carried out lots of tests to see what I could and couldn't do. She gave me some exercises to do which were useful. She really helped me get my confidence back, discussing whether surgery was necessary and fortunately for me it seems it is not! I have just returned from a week of skiing with no problems with my knee! Thank you Sally!

I had 3 physio appointments with Julie to help rehabilitate an aching knee. I found her to be friendly and professional. My knee is now far stronger. I am very happy to recommend.

Excellent service and great value for money. Gregor assessed my knee injury and provided some advice and exercises to follow leading to a swift recovery.

I had really bad hip and knee pain from a cricket injury and needed a last minute appointment ahead of a game tomorrow- I had an appointment with Krishna who efficiently covered my injury history and then onto the knee and hip issue. This was giving me really bad pain even walking short distances and he assessed and located the exact area to manipulate and release the pain very quickly. I went in limping and walked out the practice normally with no limp at all! He advised what to do after the appointment and moving forwards and I have booked in for 2 weeks time for a check up and to address other muscular issues. Incredibly professional, explained and listened so well and I am looking forward to addressing other issues moving forwards! Thank you Krishna!

After struggling with knee issues for 18 months, I’ve made remarkable progress in a short time thanks to the expert guidance and tailored exercise programme provided by Julie. Her deep knowledge of my specific knee condition, combined with her consistently positive and encouraging approach, made a real difference in my recovery. The clinic itself offers a great environment, with a well-equipped consultation space and gym that allowed me to perform exercises correctly and confidently. Julie is a fantastic physiotherapist, I highly recommend her.

Excellent physio provision by Fiona at Impact. Could hardly walk and after work on back and knees can stroll for 90 mins or more. Very good advice and help with practical matters such as modifying house and office to stop injuring myself further. Would recommend without hesitation: literally transformed my daily life back towards where it should be.

On three separate occasions I have been referred by my GP to Impact for a 6 session course of physio, once for knee issues and twice for different back issues. On every occasion the courses have been very effective and have returned me to good levels of mobility, enabling me to build up my fitness and maintain gym attendance. I cannot over state how important the high quality service Impact provides has had on my overall sense of well-being and fitness, enabling me to lose weight and move away from being obese to a healthy weight.

I have had wonderful treatment from the physiotherapist. She has made my recovery from a knee replacement op extremely successful. She has also made the experience enjoyable even if hard work. I do not think I would be nearly as well off without her help. Even in lockdown I have continued treatment via Zoom and have found this very useful in keeping up my exercise and also for my mental health.

Alan Beers treated me with great care and respect advising on suitable exercises for my problem knee.

Brilliant first class, Sally was really good and was down to earth and explained things properly. My knees are better off for visting.

Having aggravated a previous knee problem I needed some advice before I embarked on a planned walking holiday that could potentially see me make the problem worse. Danni not only worked on my knee, but also answered all my questions and gave me the advice I was after. I now have the confidence to go away on holiday knowing what is going on and what measures to take to support my knee both in the short term and in the long-term. Hopefully a shot on me on my 400th Birkett will be heading Danni's way next week and if I need more work on the knee after my trip I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Required Impact physio again to help me with my back and knee discomfort / pain, over several sessions. Ali was a superstar, listening and providing a program to get me feeling a lot better, can't recommend enough.

d a bad fall and twisted my left knee causing me severe lack of mobility. The Long Eaton clinic kindly fitted me in with a same day appointment. Saw physio Phill Tranter who was very reassuring in his approach. Some three sessions along with an exercise routine has virtually cured the problem . Just need to carry on with the exercises . I found very helpful that the exercise routine was sent on a video . Would recommend without any hesitation.

I went to see Phil about a problem with my knee. Phil is incredibly knowledgeable and carried out some very thorough tests including an ultrasound scan and was able to advise me with some initial treatment exercise to carry out over 2 weeks and then return for a re-evaluation. My knee had much improved and Phil was able to provide additional rehab exercises. I returned a final time a few weeks later when my knee felt fine but Phil was able to additionally help by providing more information and further exercises to help strengthen the general area and prevent future injury. Very pleased with the service. Really nice friendly guy too! Thoroughly recommended. I also saw Paul at the Wilford branch years before this for a different problem and he was also brilliant.
