Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can develop from a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, and movement patterns. At Aeris Physiotherapy Health and Wellness in Port Moody, every assessment is designed to determine what is contributing to your specific symptoms.

Common causes of knee pain include:

  • Ligament sprains

  • Meniscus injuries

  • Muscle weakness or imbalance
