Knee Pain During Exercise? Here's What Might Be Going On

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among active individuals in the Hills District. Whether you're lifting weights, running through Norwest, or doing HIIT at a Dural gym, knee pain can quickly derail your progress.

At Strive Sports and Health, our physiotherapists and sports chiropractors often help patients uncover the real cause of knee pain—and get back to moving pain-free.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

• Poor tracking of the kneecap (patellofemoral pain)

• Tight quads or ITB tension

• Weak hips and glutes

• Flat feet or overpronation

• Poor technique during squats, lunges, or running

All of these can cause the knee joint to work harder than it should.

How We Assess and Treat It

When you book with a physiotherapist or sports chiropractor at Strive Sports and Health, we:

• Assess movement patterns like squatting, lunging, and walking

• Check strength and mobility from hips to ankles

• Use hands-on techniques to relieve pressure and improve function

• Create a personalised strengthening and mobility plan

If you train in Norwest, Dural or anywhere in the Hills District and your knees are holding you back, let’s change that.
