Crossword Genius

Dad struggling with knee, which is massaged (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kneaded

'is massaged' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'dad struggling with knee' is the wordplay.
'struggling with' indicates an anagram (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'dad' anagrammed with 'knee' makes 'KNEADED'.

'which' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kneaded that I've seen before include "Having made bloomer, perhaps" , "Worked into dough with the hands" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
