Understanding my Knee Pain

Why does my knee hurt?

Did you have an incident, or did your knee just get sore over time?

We treat traumatic knees and those that just get sore over time a bit differently.

Did you increase your exercise volume suddenly, or come to a sudden stop on the football or netball pitch?

The most common issues we see are knee cap tracking (patellofemoral pain), meniscus tears, ligament strains and tears like ACL, patella tendinopathy (jumpers knee), growing pains like Osgood Schlatters and arthritis.

What can we do about it?

Jenkins Physiotherapy uses hands on manual therapy, exercises, dry needling, advice and ongoing recommendations to help your body recover. We can also recommend the right supportive bracing when it’s needed.

We want to find exercise that you can, establish clear parameters and dosages so which gets you back to normal gradually.

We find ways to strengthen affected joints and muscles, and progressively restore active range of movements.

If it’s too sore often ice, painkillers and supportive brace, tape or bandages are needed.

Flare ups can happen, but we manage that and get going again.

How can I get started?

Simply reach out to our friendly admin team, or go to our booking page and schedule an appointment at Jenkins Physiotherapy, Madeley in the Perth northern suburbs.

Remember your health fund card, or any referral documents from your GP or specialist to present to admin on arrival.

Wear something comfortable, so that we can assess the area that is of main concern.
