Knee injury treatment by physiotherapy in Rotterdam

Knee injury

A knee injury can significantly disrupt your daily life. Normally, a knee moves smoothly and the joint is strong enough to make bending, twisting and stretching movements. However, with a knee injury you may experience pain, stiffness and instability.

How do you recognize a knee injury?

There are various causes and symptoms of knee injuries. The most common knee injuries are:

Torn ACL: An incorrect movement or twist can lead to damage, stretching or even tearing of the cruciate ligaments in the knee. This can result in swelling, pain and an unstable feeling in the knee.
Meniscus injury: The meniscus is a crescent-shaped disc of cartilage between the upper and lower leg. A sudden movement, abrasion or sports accident can lead to a torn meniscus, with symptoms including pain, swelling and limited movement.
Knee ligament injuries: There are several knee ligaments that can be damaged by an external impact, twist or overload. Symptoms include pain, swelling and instability of the knee.
Overloaded Knee: Excessive strain from exercise or work can lead to overuse of the knee, which can cause pain, swelling and limited movement.
Arthrosis: Wear and tear of the knee joint can lead to pain, stiffness and swelling of the knee.

What to do in case of a knee injury?

If you suspect a knee injury, it is advisable to seek expert advice as soon as possible. Some steps you can take yourself are:

Peace: Give the knee the necessary rest.
Cooling: Apply ice to the painful area to reduce swelling and pain.
To move: Start slowly with light movement to reduce stiffness.
Consult a professional: Consult your GP or a physiotherapist for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

How can you prevent a knee injury?

Prevention is better than cure. Some tips to prevent knee injuries are:

Good Warm-up: Prepare your body for exercise with a good warm-up.
Technique and Attitude: Pay attention to your technique and posture during sports and daily activities.
Training structure: Build up the intensity of your workouts gradually.
Muscle Strengthening Exercises: Strengthen the muscles around the knee to improve stability.
Correct Shoes: Wear shoes that provide the right support while exercising and walking.

Trusted by many

A month ago I came to Fysio Iburg with a groin injury. I have been dealing with this for a year, tried various treatments but unfortunately without results. However, after 3 treatments with Arnold my complaints disappeared. I am therefore very grateful to the practice for their expert treatments. This allows me to exercise again like before!

Milan Frank

Super good and knowledgeable help from Kate. Had a shoulder injury. I received good exercises and was free of injury/pain after a few weeks. Continue to do the exercises to keep the shoulder strong. I would recommend Physio Iburg Rotterdam.

Frank van Hemert

Had great treatment from Farid. Came in with severe back and shoulder pain, a combination of dry needling and old-fashioned cracking, the next day it went much better. Super!

Eelco Schuller

Very well and professionally helped with long-standing hip complaints. Clear explanation and friendly, pleasant practitioner. Short waiting times.

Antoine van Nassau

Due to working from home a lot, poor posture and stress, I had a lot of problems with my shoulder and neck. Together with Fysio Iburg I made a plan in which treatment and exercises have resulted in enormous improvements within a short period of time. I am very satisfied!

Loes Groenendijk

Since I have been treated at this practice, I have recovered from my injuries faster than with previous physiotherapists. Highly specialized people who provide many different types of treatments, a suitable treatment for every injury. Highly recommended!
