Stiff knee and getting back to walking

2 October 2026

What you talked about

Your knee has been stiff for several weeks, especially when you first get up. You want to feel more comfortable walking to the shops and spending time in the garden.

What the doctor said

The doctor examined your knee and discussed getting advice from a physiotherapist. The physiotherapist can help you find movements and exercises that suit you. You do not need to remember an exercise routine from this appointment.

What was agreed

  • The doctor will send a physiotherapy referral. The team will contact you to arrange an appointment.
  • If you haven’t heard from the physiotherapy team after two weeks, call the GP practice to check the referral.
  • Book a review with the doctor in about six weeks. Make a note of what has improved and what is still difficult.
  • Contact the practice sooner if things get worse or you are worried.

Questions for the physiotherapist

  • What would help me get back to my usual walks?
