Knee
Knee pain that keeps coming back has a root cause. We find it.
Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Stance — affecting runners, gym-goers, office workers, and post-surgical patients alike. The knee rarely fails in isolation; the cause is almost always found above or below it.

How Stance approaches knee pain
We begin with an objective, technology-driven assessment using VALD Force Decks and Dynamo to measure limb symmetry, strength deficits, and movement quality. Treatment is not guesswork — every progression is based on your numbers. We address the kinetic chain, not just the knee.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take for knee pain to resolve?
Most non-surgical knee pain responds within 6–12 weeks of structured rehab. The timeline depends on the root cause, severity, and how consistently you follow the programme.
Do I need an MRI before seeing you?
No. We can assess you and build a plan without imaging. If we identify something that warrants a scan, we'll advise you on next steps.
Can I continue exercising with knee pain?
Often yes — but the type and load of exercise matters. We'll guide you on what to continue, modify, or pause.
