The Modern Movement Challenge: Overcoming Knee Pain in the Working Professional

Knee pain is increasingly common among working professionals—often triggered by years of sitting, inactivity, or a sudden return to exercise. At Cristini Athletics, our sports physiotherapists help busy professionals overcome knee pain, regain movement, and stay active for life.

Why Working Professionals Experience Knee Pain 
- Sedentary Lifestyles: Tight hips, weak glutes, poor posture 
- Sudden Activity: Weekend sports, new gym routines, “couch to 5K” 
- Weight Gain: Extra stress on the knees 
- Old Injuries: Lingering effects from youth or untreated strains 

Case Study: David, 46 – The Deskbound Dynamo 
David, an office manager, developed knee pain after starting a new fitness routine. 
Assessment: Tight hip flexors, weak glutes, poor ankle mobility, collapsing knees during movement 
Intervention: Glute activation, stretching, movement retraining, activity pacing, desk ergonomics 
Result: David’s pain resolved, he lost weight, and now enjoys pain-free daily movement.
