FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
This is often a sign of joint irritation or mild swelling. When the joint is still, fluid settles and creates pressure. Movement helps circulate the fluid and lubricate the joint, which is why the stiffness usually eases after a few minutes of walking.
-
Not always. We use a battery of clinical tests and objective strength data to determine if a scan is necessary.
-
Clicking, is very common and is usually harmless when there is no pain or swelling. It is often just gas bubbles popping or soft tissue moving over bony prominences. However, if clicking is associated with pain, swelling, locking or the knee giving way, it requires a professional assessment of the meniscus or ligaments.
-
In most cases, unless there has been a specific incident or significant injury, complete rest is rarely the best approach for knee recovery in athletes. At iPerform, we use evidence-based load management strategies to identify a safe level of running that allows you to stay active and maintain fitness without aggravating your symptoms.
This approach helps you avoid unnecessary deconditioning while we address the underlying cause of your knee pain
