Knee

Are you grappling with persistent pain in your knee or an ACL injury?

Whether it’s a sharp sting during certain movements or a constant, dull discomfort, knee issues can significantly hinder your daily life.

Many of our clients have been in your shoes, and we’ve guided them back to mobility and a pain-free life.

Your knee is a complex joint that bears the weight of your body. It’s a sophisticated assembly of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that work together to provide the mobility we often take for granted.

But when something goes wrong, it can lead to symptoms such as:

• Persistent pain or discomfort
• Reduced mobility or stiffness
• Difficulty in walking or climbing stairs
• Swelling or tenderness around the joint

These issues can arise from a variety of causes, from sports injuries to ageing, overuse, or even poor posture.

At Bounty Physio, we understand that each patient is unique, and so is their pain. That’s why our diagnosis and assessment process is comprehensive and individualised, designed to get to the root of your knee or ACL issue.

Initial Consultation
Your journey to recovery begins with an in-depth initial consultation. Our experienced physiotherapists will take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and the specific circumstances surrounding your knee or ACL pain. We’ll ask about the nature of your pain, its intensity, duration, and any specific triggers that you’ve noticed. This conversation is crucial as it helps us understand your experience and guides our physical examination.

Physical Examination
Following the discussion, our physiotherapist will conduct a thorough physical examination. This may involve a series of tests to assess your knee’s range of motion, strength, flexibility, and stability. We may ask you to perform certain movements or exercises to evaluate your knee function and identify any movements that cause pain or discomfort.

Diagnostic Imaging
In some cases, we may refer you for diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound. These imaging tests provide a detailed view of your knee structure, helping us identify any abnormalities or damage to the ACL, meniscus, or other knee components.

Gait Analysis
For some patients, we may also conduct a gait analysis. This involves observing your walking and running patterns to identify any irregularities that might be contributing to your knee pain. Gait analysis can be particularly useful for athletes or individuals whose knee pain is associated with specific movements or activities.

Personalised Assessment Report
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we’ll provide you with a personalised assessment report. This report will detail our findings and provide a clear explanation of your knee or ACL issue. We believe in transparency and patient education, so we’ll make sure you fully understand your condition and the factors contributing to it.

Treatment Plan Discussion
Finally, based on our assessment, we’ll discuss a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and recovery goals. We’ll explain each aspect of the plan, including the therapies we recommend, their purpose, and what you can expect during the treatment process. We’ll also discuss any lifestyle modifications or exercises you can do at home to support your recovery.

At Bounty Physio, our comprehensive diagnosis and assessment process ensures that we understand your knee or ACL issue in depth, enabling us to provide the most effective, personalised treatment possible.

Your journey to recovery is our priority, and it starts with a thorough and accurate diagnosis.

We believe in a holistic approach to treatment that addresses not just your symptoms, but the root cause of your knee or ACL issue. Our goal is to restore your knee function, alleviate your pain, and prevent future injuries.

Here’s how we do it:

Personalised Treatment Plan
Based on our comprehensive diagnosis and assessment, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and recovery goals. This plan will include a combination of therapies designed to address your unique knee or ACL issue.

Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach that our physiotherapists use to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and facilitate movement. This may involve techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and stretching exercises.

Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise is a crucial part of knee and ACL recovery. We’ll design a rehabilitation program that includes specific exercises to strengthen your knee, improve flexibility, and enhance stability. These exercises will be tailored to your current abilities and progressively adjusted as your strength and mobility improve.

Dry Needling
For some patients, dry needling can be an effective therapy for relieving knee pain and improving function. This involves inserting thin needles into specific points around your knee to release muscle tension and stimulate healing.

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
If you’ve undergone surgery for your knee or ACL issue, our orthopaedic rehabilitation program can help you regain strength, mobility, and function. This program includes a range of therapies designed to support your recovery and help you return to your normal activities safely.

Bracing
In some cases, a brace may be recommended to support your knee, limit certain movements, and allow tissues to heal.

Ongoing Management and Education
We provide ongoing management and education to help you maintain your knee health in the long term. This includes teaching you exercises you can do at home, providing advice on lifestyle modifications, and offering guidance on injury prevention.

Regular Follow-ups
We’ll schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and address any concerns you may have. These sessions are crucial for ensuring that your recovery stays on track and that you’re moving towards your recovery goals
