Knee Injuries

Our Physiotherapists specialise in knee pain caused by specific injuries or overuse. There are a number of knee injuries that can have a significant effect on a person’s function and athletic performance, including:

• Ligament Injuries (Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Posterior Cruciate Ligament)
• Dislocated or subluxed patella,
• Meniscal Injuries (damaged/torn meniscus(cartilage) and damaged joint surfaces.

It is important to firstly have an accurate diagnosis so that the appropriate treatment and management can commence as early as possible to optimise recovery times.
Hills St. Physiotherapists are expertly trained to diagnose the problem and provide the correct course of management. Most knee injuries require a carefully managed rehabilitation program to ensure a safe and timely return to both sporting activity and day to day living. Hills St. is well equipped to provide the necessary environment in terms of professional expertise and exercise equipment to achieve this outcome.

Treatment may include a consultation with one of our specialist knee orthopaedic surgeons if necessary.
