Knee Pain

Knee pain can be the result of an ACUTE INJURY (like the knee twisting during a jump)

or...

GRADUAL ONSET OF PAIN can come from a change in load (eg increase in running distance)

When should you see your physio?

ACUTE INJURY: within 3 days of injury - To manage inflammation and return to pain free walking

GRADUAL ONSET OF PAIN: ASAP - Continuing to exercise or overload the joint or muscle can continue and worsen the pain

Studies indicate that after 12 months, not only does physio-guided exercise provide more pain relief than steroid injections, it can also increases a person's ability to walk, move up and down stairs, and perform other daily functions.

Our Hip & Knee specialty program is ideal for helping you achieve these outcomes.
