Professional Knee Pain Treatment
Knee pain is common among runners at the Rhine riverbank and cyclists in Unterbilk. Runner's knee is a typical overuse phenomenon in joggers.
Typical Causes of Knee Pain
Overuse & Sport
Runner's knee, jumper's knee, and overuse from intensive training put strain on the knee joint.
Osteoarthritis & Wear
Wear of the joint cartilage leads to pain and stiffness, especially with increasing age.
Injuries
Meniscus and ligament injuries, as well as the aftermath of accidents, cause persistent complaints.
Misalignment & Excess Weight
Knock knees or bow legs and increased body weight place one-sided strain on the knee.
Muscular Imbalance
Weak thigh muscles do not stabilise the knee joint sufficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy help with knee osteoarthritis?
Yes, definitely! Through targeted training of the thigh muscles, we relieve the knee joint and reduce pain. Many of our patients from Düsseldorf are thus able to return to their gardening without pain.
Does a meniscus tear require surgery?
Not always! Many meniscus injuries can be treated conservatively with physiotherapy. We strengthen the muscles and improve mobility - often surgery can be avoided.
How long does rehabilitation take after cruciate ligament surgery?
Full rehabilitation takes about 6-9 months. With consistent physiotherapy and KGG training, you can gradually return to full load-bearing capacity.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
Yes, with a medical prescription, the costs are covered by all statutory and private health insurance providers.
