If you have had your knee pain for a long time there are a number of factors that will be involved and need to be addressed to get long term relief. If you don’t do the right things now, not only will your knee pain persist, it will get worse over time and you will be more and more impacted by it.
Don’t let your knee pain keep you from the garden, stop you from walking the dogs or looking after the Grandchildren!
Simple education can make a huge difference, as can the right treatment techniques.
Combining this with a personalised, progressive exercise program is where we can help you get life changing long term results.
Many people think that they are destined for surgery for their knee pain.
Most knee surgery is proven to be costly and ineffective compared to physiotherapy and correct exercise. Other surgery is shown to be preventable for many people.
If you do require surgery, the quality of the rehabilitation and also exercise in the lead up to surgery is the biggest factor in the quality of outcomes following the surgery.
The types of knee pain our therapists regularly help include:
- sporting injuries
- chronic knee pain / Osteoarthitis
- surgery prevention and rehabilitation (arthroscopy, total knee replacement)
- ACL rehabilitation (surgical rehab and non operative treatment)
- medial ligament, lateral ligament and posterior cruciate (PCL) ligament injuries
- “runners knee” (ITB friction syndrome),
- “jumpers knee” (patella tendinopathy)
- patellofemoral joint pain (anterior knee pain)
- growing pain
- Osgood Schlatters
Your therapist will perform a thorough movement assessment to determine the source and cause of your problem and provide treatment for fast-effective relief.
We will listen to you to understand how your problem is impacting you and what you need from us to help you live your best life.
