Knee pain?
Knee pain can be niggly, it affects our day to day life, taking the stairs, squatting and sometimes when we twist to change direction. We can help restore movement and reduce pain and dysfunction.

Common symptoms
Twisting, jolting, giving way, landing on the knee, we see it all. Let’s explore.
-
Our major ligaments in our knee can go pop with excessive force in an accident. We can guide you through ACL or PCL rehab from start to finish post op or with conservative management. We also use return to sports testing to ensure you meet all requirements safely and are less likely to reinjure.
-
Some are managed with strengthening, hands on treatment and time whereas others are referred on for cortisones or surgery. We ensure efficient results by guiding you through what you need to get back to pain free movement.
-
The kneecap can move too much or towards one direction rather than remaining in its most stable central position in the knee. We work with you on biomechanics to strengthen weaknesses to avoid painful clicking, swelling and inflammation.
-
From too much load too soon, the tendon can suffer microtears or strain causing his difficulty running, jumping or hopping. We prescribe specific loading drills in order to strengthen the tendon sufficiently.
-
From bursas to inflammation, wear and tear to fractures and surgery. We see knee injuries daily and can help form the best plan to get you back to a full recovery or living with a degenerative condition to your best ability.
