There are many causes of knee pain, from acute sporting injuries to degenerative conditions and more. Our Physiotherapists are skilled in diagnosing the source of knee pain and can develop a treatment plan to help you recover and minimise your down time. With the right advice and expertise, many forms of knee pain can be resolved fully and the risk of re-injury reduced significantly.
We take the time to examine the underlying causes of your problem. It is one thing to simply treat your injury and make you pain free, but what about the longer term? Injury prevention and managing your functional strength so that your pain doesn't ever return is the primary goal for us, so a big part of your treatment will include education and pro-active advice on what you can do to help yourself. Knowledge is power and we firmly believe in empowering our patients to achieve their best.
