Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction in the knee. It often causes pain and swelling at the back (Baker’s Cyst) or front (Patellar Bursa) of the knee.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Our treatment includes hands-on techniques to reduce swelling, specific exercises to relieve pressure on the bursa, and education on ways to modify activities to prevent irritation. Physiotherapy can effectively manage pain and help restore knee function. By tackling the source of the problem that is causing the bursa to swell we can ensure not only that the irritation of the bursa improves but the muscles surrounding the area improve as well to prevent flare-ups in the future.
