Are you suffering with Knee Pain?

How we treat your knee pain?



 Acute knee pain, we recommend ice, rest, compression & elevation.

  • Rest from sporting activities to allow for appropriate healing.

  • Ice therapy 10 minutes 3-4 times daily to help reduce pain.

  • Compression to help reduce inflammation & support your knee.

  • Elevation above your heart level.

Referral to Physio is advised if the following day, you are limping or cant straighten or bend your knee fully.



How Physio can help you?

We release muscle tension & joint stiffness (massage, mobilisation, shockwave therapy, dry needling).

We prescribe individualised mobility & strengthening exercises.

Assess your gait.

Provide education & advise.

Exercises for strength, stability and control are essential in the prevention of reoccurring knee pain.


You need to be able to walk pain free before attempting any jogging or running activities.

We suggest light jogging when you knee is no longer painful to walk on. Then gradually return to sporting activities.

You should be able to perform all of the following pain free before returning to sport. Jogging, running, sprinting, change of direction, sports specific activities.



Remember moving your knee joint helps reduce stiffness & improves endurance of muscles, tendons & ligaments surrounding your knee joint.

Talk to us today to go through a physiotherapy assessment & talk you through any movement changes that will help you.
