Knee Pain and Knee Injuries
We see 2 classic types of knee pain as the Northern Beaches Knee pain experts. The first are people who remember hurting their knee. The second are people with knee pain who can’t think of when it happened. We love helping both!
IMPROVE STRENGTH, STABILITY AND MOBILITY WHILE ELIMINATING PAIN
We know how much knee pain can affect your life, so if that’s you, contact us to see how we can get you back to doing what you love.
As sports physiotherapists, knees make up the majority of our caseload, so you know you’ll be seeing someone with plenty of experience! We love treating your knee injury and knee pain at Fixio Sports Physio and Pain Solutions.
DON’T REMEMBER HURTING IT?
As the knee sits between the hip and the ankle, the integrity of both of these joints is crucial in maintaining knee function. Often, people present with knee pain, yet a hip or ankle “problem”, meaning the solution is to fix the hip or ankle and the knee pain will go away.
Knee joints can suffer from overloading the knee in an inefficient manner. Over time this can lead to osteoarthritis (something that we can definitely help with!).
This overload is especially true for people who have ramped up the amount of activity they are doing. Sound like you? We see it all the time!
