Specialised Rehabilitation for non-surgical musculoskeletal conditions of the hips and knees

Progressive rehabilitation programs for any non-surgical condition of the hips and knees

Specialised exercise rehabilitation for non-surgical hip and knee conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, muscle injuries and ongoing joint pain.

Our approach focuses on progressively rebuilding strength, physical capacity and tolerance to load, helping you return to the demands of everyday life, work, exercise or sport.

We deliver programs in structured blocks, gradually increasing in load and technicality, which will involve your program being delivered on an app that allows us to monitor your progress and load progression

Conditions we treat

  • Non-surgical knee rehabilitation may be appropriate for a range of conditions, including:

    • Knee osteoarthritis

    • Patellar and quadriceps tendinopathy

    • Meniscus-related knee pain

    • Ligament injuries

    • Muscle and tendon injuries

    • Patellofemoral pain

    • Persistent knee pain

    • Reduced strength or function following injury

Our Rehabilitation Structure

Initial Consultation

1 hour

The initial assessment consists of gathering your medical history for anything that may influence you during your rehabilitation program. Information about your history of presenting symptoms, functional limitations and assessments. We will then go through the stages of your journey, what to expect, challenges, and the objective measures we would like you to achieve before progressing to the next stage.

What to bring

  • Bring your Medicare card and Private insurance details

  • As much information as possible about your history of presenting symptoms

  • List of Medications

  • Allow 45 to 60 minutes for your initial Consultation

Locations for this service

  • Murdoch Square

  • Subiaco

Subsequent 1:1 Rehabilitation

45 Minutes

This session consists of a 1:1 rehabilitation session with an introduction to home-based strength and conditioning exercises as well as progressively increased volume with aerobic work. For individuals who are cleared for higher loading, this may include gym-based work.

We will progress from home-based loading to gym-based loading depending on your suitability.

Locations for this Service:

  • Murdoch Square

  • Subiaco (For gym-based loading)

Subsequent 1:1 Consultation

30 Minutes

This session is for patients who have progressed to self-maintenance with a program delivered to them. Programs are delivered in blocks with consultations that will discuss progressing your training program, as well as load management strategies.

Locations for this Service

  • Murdoch Square

Do all hip and knee conditions require surgery?

No. Many 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 meniscal 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 of rehabilitation is to improve the capacity of your knee and lower limb to tolerate the loads placed on it 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.
