What is knee pain?
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.
If your knee pain is well managed, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have knee pain:
- 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 like knee pain
- Allow extra time for walking distances if knee pain slows you down
- Choose accommodation close to key attractions or transport links
- Take regular rest breaks to avoid fatigue or discomfort
- Bring any knee braces or supports you normally use for knee pain
If you have been diagnosed with knee pain, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Take care to read the medical declaration fully, so the details you give about your knee pain are complete.
Travel insurance is still available if you have knee pain. The cover offered depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is controlled, and clear, accurate answers in your medical declaration help make sure the right cover is arranged.
