Knee Running Injuries
At London Knee Care, we specialise in diagnosing and treating knee injuries caused by running and repetitive strain. Running is an excellent way to stay fit, but overuse, poor technique, or muscle imbalance can place stress on the knee joint — leading to pain, inflammation, and reduced performance.
We treat all common running-related knee problems, including runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome), iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), tendonitis, and cartilage irritation. Through detailed assessment, gait analysis, and tailored treatment, we help runners recover safely and return to their sport stronger than before.
Knee Running Injuries Care
You should book an appointment if you experience pain around the kneecap, swelling after runs, or stiffness that limits your ability to train. Discomfort when climbing stairs, squatting, or sitting for long periods may also indicate an underlying running injury.
At London Knee Care, we perform advanced biomechanical assessments and imaging to identify the exact cause — whether from training intensity, footwear, or alignment — and develop a personalised recovery plan focused on long-term joint health and performance.

Should I stop running if I have knee pain?
It’s best to rest temporarily and seek assessment — continuing to run may worsen the injury.
Can running injuries heal without surgery?
Yes. Most running-related injuries respond well to physiotherapy, activity modification, and strengthening.
How long is recovery time?
Most runners recover within 4–8 weeks, depending on the severity and treatment approach.
