What It Is and Why It Happens

Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people in the north-east book physiotherapy, and the knee is a joint where the diagnosis really changes the treatment. Pain at the front from the kneecap (patellofemoral pain or runner’s knee), pain on the inside from the meniscus or MCL, pain below the kneecap from the patellar tendon, and the deep ache and morning stiffness of osteoarthritis each need a different plan.

Our physiotherapists assess the joint, the ligaments and menisci, and — just as importantly — the hip and foot mechanics above and below it, since knee pain very often starts somewhere else.

Knee Problems We Treat

Our physiotherapists at Cityscape Square NE assess and treat:

How We Treat Knee Pain

Assessment covers swelling, range of motion, ligament and meniscus tests, single-leg strength and how you walk, squat and land. Treatment combines hands-on work to restore movement, targeted strengthening of the quads, glutes and hips, load management for tendon problems, and taping or bracing when it helps. Dry needling for tight quads and IT band, custom orthotics for foot-driven knee pain, and sports massage for recovery are all available on the same chart.

Locked knee, inability to bear weight, or a knee that gives way repeatedly should be assessed promptly — we can usually see you the same day. Post-surgical patients: see pre and post-surgical rehab.

What sets our approach apart:

Hip, knee and foot together, because the knee is often the victim, not the cause.

Knees get better when the muscles around them get stronger; every plan has a measurable strength component.

Our Patients Share Their Journey

After my motor vehicle accident, I was dealing with intense neck pain, lower back discomfort, and stiffness that made even simple movements difficult. Coming to Apollo Physio truly made a huge difference in my recovery journey. I received treatment from Vidhi, my physiotherapist, Janki, my massage therapist, and chiropractic care from Dr. Dhaliwal and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Vidhi created a well-structured treatment plan and guided me through exercises that gradually improved my strength and mobility. She explained everything clearly and kept track of my progress at every step. Janki’s massage therapy sessions were incredibly helpful in reducing muscle tightness and relieving pain. After each session, I felt more relaxed and could move more freely. Chiropractic sessions with Dr. Dhaliwal were also a key part of my recovery. His adjustments helped improve my alignment and significantly reduced the stiffness and discomfort I was experiencing. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and made sure I was comfortable throughout each session. Within a few weeks, I noticed major improvements less pain, better movement, and a return to my normal daily routine. The combined approach of physiotherapy, massage, and chiropractic care really made the recovery process faster and more effective. The clinic is clean, well organized, and has a very positive and welcoming environment. The front desk staff are friendly and always helpful with booking and insurance related questions. I’m truly grateful to the entire team at Apollo Physio, especially Vidhi, Janki, and Dr. Dhaliwal, for their care and support. I highly recommend them to anyone recovering from a motor vehicle accident or dealing with pain they genuinely care and deliver excellent results.

I’ve been receiving treatment from Ramesh, PT, for several weeks following a motor vehicle accident, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Ramesh has been incredibly helpful in reducing my back and neck pain. He always takes the time to educate me on ways to prevent further injury, which I really appreciate. The front desk staff are equally friendly and professional, making each visit seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of physiotherapy. The team here genuinely cares about your well-being and goes above and beyond to help you recover!

Kiran Bal

I started visiting Ramesh Bimagani after a motor vehicle accident that caused pain in my shoulders and lower back. From the very first session, he was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. He took the time to understand my condition and explain everything clearly, which helped me feel confident and supported throughout the recovery process. Ramesh created a personalized treatment plan that focused on relieving my pain and improving mobility. His hands-on techniques and guided exercises made a huge difference — I could feel the improvement after just a few sessions. He’s patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping his clients heal. Thanks to Ramesh, my shoulder and back pain have improved significantly, and I feel much stronger and more active again. I would highly recommend Ramesh Bimagani to anyone looking for an experienced and compassionate physiotherapist.
