Knee Pain

At Hindmarsh Physio, we treat all types of knee pain and injuries, from arthritis and sporting injuries to post-operative recovery and rehabilitation, providing personalised physiotherapy to reduce pain, restore movement, rebuild strength and help you get back to doing what you love. Our experienced physiotherapists have a special interest in the diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation of all knee injuries and conditions. 

At Hindmarsh Physio and Sports we offer a range of treatments that are tailored to meet your individual needs so we can help you get back on track quickly and safely.

Acute and chronic knee pain is a common issue in athletes and the general population. Affecting up to 25% of adults, it is the third most reported musculoskeletal injury after backs and shoulders. 

It is often due to either some kind of trauma, an acute injury which has overloaded the joint causing ligament or cartilage damage, or a wear and tear injury that has occurred over time. 

Knee osteoarthritis affects more than 1.2 million Australians, but knee replacement surgery isn't the only option. Evidence-based exercise programs such as GLA:D® (Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark) have demonstrated an average 36% reduction in pain, improved mobility and confidence, and a reduced perceived need for surgery. In fact, nine out of ten people with knee osteoarthritis can manage without joint replacement surgery. OUR KNEE PROGRAM based on the GLAD principles

If this is not the case, it is usually due to the knee being loaded in a way that it is not supposed to be and therefore is under stress. Stress on the knee can occur when there is a dysfunction coming from higher up in the hip/back or lower down in the ankle/foot.

Don't let knee pain keep you sitting on the sidelines. Book an appointment with our experienced physiotherapy team and take the first step towards getting your knee pain understood, moving with confidence and getting back to the activities you love and miss.
