Knee Rehabilitation
Knee pain affects people of all ages — from young athletes recovering from ACL injuries to older adults managing osteoarthritis. The key to effective treatment is accurate diagnosis and a rehabilitation programme that addresses the specific cause, not just the symptoms.
At Injury Active Clinic, our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists work together to provide integrated knee rehabilitation. We combine hands-on treatment with progressive strength and conditioning to restore function, reduce pain, and build the resilience needed to prevent recurrence.

What's Causing Your Knee Pain?
ACL / Ligament Injury
Tears or sprains of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), or other knee ligaments — common in sports involving pivoting and jumping.
Meniscus Tear
Damage to the cartilage discs (menisci) inside the knee, causing pain, swelling, clicking, and sometimes locking of the joint.
Patellofemoral Pain
Pain around or behind the kneecap (patella), often called runner's knee — caused by abnormal patellar tracking and muscle imbalances.
Patellar Tendinopathy
Overuse injury to the patellar tendon (jumper's knee) causing pain below the kneecap, common in athletes who run, jump, or squat.
IT Band Syndrome
Inflammation of the iliotibial band where it crosses the outer knee, causing sharp pain on the outside of the knee during running or cycling.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Age-related degeneration of knee cartilage causing chronic pain, stiffness, and swelling — highly responsive to exercise physiology and manual therapy.

Register InterestKnee Pain Questions Answered
What causes knee pain?
Knee pain has many causes including ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL), meniscus tears, patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee), patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), iliotibial band syndrome, bursitis, and osteoarthritis. Accurate diagnosis is essential — the treatment for each condition is different.
Can physiotherapy help with knee pain?
Yes. Physiotherapy is highly effective for most knee conditions. Our physiotherapists use manual therapy, taping, and progressive exercise rehabilitation to reduce pain, restore movement, and build the strength needed to protect the knee long-term. For post-surgical rehabilitation (ACL reconstruction, knee replacement), physiotherapy is essential for a full recovery.
Do I need surgery for my knee pain?
Most knee conditions do not require surgery. Even many ACL tears and meniscus injuries can be successfully managed with physiotherapy and exercise. Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatment has been exhausted or when there is structural instability that prevents normal function. Our team will give you an honest assessment of your options.
How long does knee pain rehabilitation take?
Recovery time varies significantly by diagnosis. Patellofemoral pain and IT band syndrome often improve within 6–8 sessions. Meniscus injuries may take 8–12 sessions. ACL rehabilitation (post-surgery) typically takes 9–12 months for full return to sport. Knee osteoarthritis is managed long-term with exercise physiology and manual therapy.
Is exercise good for knee osteoarthritis?
Yes. Exercise is one of the most evidence-based treatments for knee osteoarthritis. Strengthening the muscles around the knee reduces load on the joint, improves function, and decreases pain. Our exercise physiologists design safe, progressive programmes specifically for people with knee OA, often in combination with physiotherapy or osteopathy.
