Conditions we treat
General musculoskeletal injuries
Rehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions affecting the hip and knee, including tendon, ligament and other soft-tissue conditions. Programs focus on improving strength, load tolerance and physical capacity for everyday activity, exercise and sport.
Meniscus related
Not all meniscus injuries require surgery. We provide individualised exercise rehabilitation to help manage symptoms, rebuild knee strength, and gradually return to everyday activities, exercise, and sport.
If you've already undergone meniscus surgery, we'll work with you to develop a rehabilitation program tailored to your procedure and stage of recovery.
Severe Hip and Knee osteoarthritis or Pre-op rehabilitation
Even with severe osteoarthritis, exercise can help manage pain, improve strength and maintain mobility. We'll develop a rehabilitation program tailored to your condition and physical capacity, whether you're managing your symptoms without surgery or preparing for joint replacement.

Can Hip and Knee Conditions be managed without surgery
Yes. Many hip and knee conditions can be managed without surgery, depending on the condition, severity of symptoms, functional limitations, and your individual circumstances.
Exercise rehabilitation is commonly used in the management of knee osteoarthritis, tendon conditions, some ligament and Meniscus injuries, and other causes of persistent knee pain.
If your presentation requires further investigation or medical assessment, referral back to your GP, specialist or other treating practitioner may be recommended.
What is the goal of rehabilitation?
The goal is to increase the capacity of your hip, knee and overall lower limb to tolerate the demands placed on them during everyday activity, exercise and sport
This usually involves progressively improving quadriceps, hamstring, hip and calf strength, alongside movement, balance, aerobic fitness and other physical qualities relevant to your individual goals.
As your capacity improves, rehabilitation can progress from basic strengthening into heavier resistance training and, where appropriate, running, jumping and sport-specific training.
Strength and conditioning is part of rehabilitation
As symptoms and function improve, rehabilitation should increasingly resemble normal strength and conditioning.
Rather than continuing with low-level rehabilitation exercises indefinitely, the program can progress through increasing resistance, exercise complexity, volume and eventually higher-level activities where appropriate.
The aim is to build enough physical capacity for the activities you want your hip and knee to perform.
