Understanding Knee Injuries
Knee pain is a common issue that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. They can result from sudden trauma, such as a meniscus tear or anterior cruciate ligament tear, or from the cumulative wear and tear associated with everyday activities like walking, bending, standing, and lifting. These injuries are not limited to athletes; they affect people of all ages and activity levels. However, athletes who run or engage in sports that involve jumping or quick pivoting are particularly prone to knee problems due to the high-stress demands placed on their knees.
Knee pain, whether due to injury or the natural ageing process, can range from a mild nuisance to a debilitating condition that hampers daily activities. It's essential to understand the signs and symptoms of knee injuries to seek appropriate treatment and prevent further damage.
Comprehensive Knee Treatment
Our clinic provides comprehensive care for all types of knee pain and knee injuries, including knee pain treatment Singapore, knee pain location chart, and conditions like chondromalacia patella and jumper's knee patellar tendonitis. Whether you need knee joint pain medicine or are seeking advice on knee joint osteoarthritis, we are here to help.
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms?
Hearing popping or crunching noises when moving the knee can indicate underlying issues such as cartilage damage or ligament tear.
Difficulty or inability to fully straighten the knee is often a sign of significant injury or damage to the joint structures, such as a meniscus or acl tear injury.
A feeling of weakness in the knee can result from knee ligament injuries or muscle imbalances, making it difficult to perform daily activities.
Swelling around the knee joint, accompanied by stiffness, is a common symptom of inflammation and injury.
Knee ligament injuries or muscle imbalances can cause a sensation of instability in the knee, hindering the ability to carry out everyday tasks.
Causes of Knee Pain or Injuries
Injuries such as a ruptured ligament, commonly known as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, or torn cartilage, like a meniscus tear, are prevalent among athletes and individuals involved in high-impact activities.
Over time, the knee joint can deteriorate due to repetitive movements and stress. Activities like walking, bending, standing, and lifting can contribute to this wear and tear, leading to conditions such as osteoarthritis.
Athletes, especially those involved in sports requiring frequent jumping or sudden directional changes, are at a higher risk of knee injuries. The intense physical demands can result in acute injuries or chronic knee problems like runner's knee
Conditions such as arthritis, gout, and infections can also cause knee pain. Arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis, involves the gradual wearing away of knee cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness. Gout, a type of arthritis, can cause sudden and severe knee pain due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joint.

Your Road To Recovery

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
UFIT @ Club Street has very clean facilities, and its staff are professional and friendly. My physiotherapist Vik is patient and professional, and can explain concepts well in layman terms. Thanks to him, I have been seeing clear improvements in my injured knee. Extremely satisfied with my experience here and would definitely recommend people to try out their services.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend Nada at Ufit for injury-related physio and rehab.
I injured the lateral collateral ligament and meniscus in my knee around 2 months ago, and on our first meeting, Nada was very thorough in assessing the damage, from pain to mobility and range of motion.
More than that, she understands that as a final goal, I want to get back to training in the sport I love, and her exercise program for me is tailored to that. The exercises she has introduced me to in the past 2 months were progressive and based on what I could commit to based on my injury, from initial exercises focusing on strength, to stability, range of motion, and finally dynamic and lateral movements. At no time did I feel uncomfortable however, as she paid close attention to how my knee held up doing the exercises, and would tailor them accordingly depending on my progress.
Nada is also really cheerful and friendly, not to mention patient and understanding, so I always feel comfortable and assured in my sessions with her.
In the past 2 months, not only has my knee appeared to make an almost full recovery, but both my legs are actually stronger and more stable than even before my injury. Am really appreciative for this!

I’ve had a delightful experience working with Jade and her team (Joshua for pilates physio) for my physio training. Jade is motivating, highly capable and the entire staff has been inviting and uplifting. With her help I managed to not only see improvement in mobility and pain relief for an existing knee injury and previous chest surgery, but I was able to regain footing in a wellness journey and goal I had to trim down and build more muscle. This has been particularly helpful with the onset of perimenopause. It was also extremely helpful in my pursuit to compete for the title of MRS Universe, which I was successful at winning. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a trainer and/or gym.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Vik is an excellent physiotherapist! At first I was worried my knee injury would affect my chances of joining a jiujitsu competition. He was able to prescribe targeted exercises, dry needling and rehab exercises. I recovered much earlier than expected and have now signed up for my competition. Thank you so much for the expert guidance. In general, it was a very positive experience for me with UFIT and Vik

Have been coming to UFIT one-north and seeing Sahail Malik for various sports-related injuries. I appreciate that each session is systematic and specifically tailored to my needs. From assessment, to rehab, to long-term strengthening and injury prevention; Sahail is knowledgeable and ensures everything we do has the highest impact and relevance for me. Aside from the physical aspect of the physiotherapy, I also appreciate getting to learn a lot about sports rehab and overall well-being with each visit.

The physiotherapy from Jade was excellent I had a full knee replacement 1st April and the support and guidance from Jade had me walking without aid within two weeks and now after nine weeks I have full movement and have started cycling and about to start running again Thank you Jade for all your support.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Senior physio Jade is incredible - she listens, changes treatment when something isn’t working, easy to communicate with, willing to fit you into her schedule and is very good at her job. She helped diagnose, treat (in conjunction with surgery) and recover from a slipped disk last year and I’ve never felt better. She’s my go to physio when anything feels wrong and she gets me back into shape to continue living my life. The facilities are close to the CBD and have tons of space for rehab and other training.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve been having physiotherapy sessions with Nick Lange ever since my knee operation.
Nick has been attentive and careful during my recovery, switching up strengthening to pain management depending on how my knees are feeling that day.
Highly recommend seeing him!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been working with Nick Lange on my knee for the last 6 months. He is very systematic to my treatment and will always explain the objective of the various exercises.
You are definitely in a good hand with him around!

Frequently Asked Questions
Physiotherapy is a science-based profession that aims to prevent, assess and treat problems relating to movement that might (but not always) be associated with injury, illness, pain or surgery. Physiotherapy is a holistic therapy that aims to discover the root cause and relieve pain/stiffness, improve movement and optimise health and wellbeing.
At UFIT, our key pillar is the use of exercise therapy and education to empower patients to take control of their health and recovery. We consider all factors that may affect your recovery: movement, sleep, nutrition, mindset and rest.
Please be reassured that all of our therapists have broad training and skills and can appropriately manage most musculoskeletal or orthopaedic conditions. Most of our therapists have specific interests in certain conditions or therapies and this may help. If you have no preference, our team is excellent at steering you towards a suitable choice.
Your first appointment will involve taking a thorough and detailed history of your condition. An examination of your movement, flexibility, strength and the integrity of your joints and muscles will take place. This will require moving and potentially completing exercises. Suitable activewear and footwear that you would use for exercise are recommended. Your therapist may need to view the area directly, therefore appropriate clothing is recommended to enable this (shorts / short sleeves top for example).
Following your appointment, your therapist will be able to explain to you what is contributing to your current condition and outline a treatment plan to optimise reaching your goals.
Our sessions are usually 45 or 60 minutes. Longer sessions are recommended if the injury is complex (e.g. multiple body areas affected / a long term injury) or if exercise therapy is recommended. If you are unsure, we would recommend booking a 45-minute consultation and discussing the optimal appointment length for your specific condition and treatment plan with your therapist.
Physiotherapists are movement and exercise specialists. They treat a variety of problems with muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. If you are experiencing a pain or limitation in movement in one of these body areas, a physiotherapist can help. As first-contact practitioners, they are also expertly trained to screen for other pathology or disease that may require referral to a doctor or other specialist for further testing and diagnostics.
As an integrated Health and Fitness company, we also have the pleasure of working alongside other Health and Wellness professionals. If we aren’t the right service for you - we can point you in the direction of where you need to go.
This is dependent on a variety of factors such as the nature of your injury and associated problems, current healing stage, treatment received to date and your own specific health status and treatment plan. Mapping out an optimum treatment protocol can usually be done after 1-2 sessions, once your therapist has a solid understanding of you, your condition and how your body is responding to therapy.
