Knee Physio Perth

Knee physiotherapy is a specialised rehabilitation programme designed for individuals experiencing knee pain or injury, such as ligament tears, meniscus damage, or general instability. The programme focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and function to the knee, using a combination of targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and education on movement strategies to reduce pain, improve stability, and support long-term recovery.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, involving a detailed history and physical assessment. Following this, we provide a clear diagnosis for your condition. Hands-on treatment commences as part of our approach. You’ll also receive a comprehensive management plan, which includes prescribed exercises and guidance on the recommended frequency and duration of your treatment.

Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, offers an opportunity for feedback and questions. A streamlined re-evaluation is conducted through a physical assessment, allowing you to experience treatment benefits. Subsequent consultations are geared towards supporting your recovery and achieving optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.
