Travel Insurance for Knee Pain

Planning a holiday when you have knee pain can sometimes require extra preparation, but it doesn’t necessarily mean travel is off the table. Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that can be caused by injury, strain, arthritis or overuse, affecting approximately 1 in 4 adults across the UK.

Travelling with a medical well-managed, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.

Travel insurance can help provide protection if your condition affects your trip:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
• Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
• 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad

Travel advice for people with a musculoskeletal condition

• Allow extra time for walking distances when planning your trip
• Choose accommodation close to key attractions or transport links
• Take regular rest breaks to avoid fatigue or discomfort
• Bring any braces or supports you normally use

If you have been diagnosed with knee pain, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration carefully to make sure.

Travel insurance is still available if you’ve been diagnosed with a medical condition. However, the cover options offered vary depending on the nature of the condition and how well it is controlled. Providing clear and accurate information during your medical declaration helps to make sure that the most appropriate cover is arranged.
