Knee physio in Drummoyne
Every step through a squat, a run or a flight of stairs puts a serious load through your knee. Our team identifies what's driving your knee pain and builds a plan to help you move well again.
It rarely resolves with rest alone
A torn meniscus, patellofemoral pain, ligament instability or a knee slow to recover after surgery all need a plan built around the underlying biomechanics, not just the symptom. Pain doesn't always start in the knee either, it can be referred from the hip, ankle, foot or lower back, so we assess the whole picture.
We start with a full clinical assessment: how your knee moves, how it loads under activity, and what's actually driving your pain. Knee pain makes up around 20% of the cases we see at the clinic.
We also offer private health fund rebates, making it easier and more affordable to access the care you need.

Six ways knee pain shows up
Knee osteoarthritis
Degenerative wear of the knee joint causing pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion. Around one in four people over 50 experience knee pain linked to degenerative changes in the joint. Treatment centres on strength based exercise, load management and education.
ACL and ligament injuries
Sprains, tears and instability in the ACL, MCL or other knee ligaments, often from sport or a sudden change of direction. We guide staged rehab from early protection through to return to sport testing, including the cross bracing protocol for ACL rehab.
Meniscus tears
Cartilage damage from twisting or impact loading. Management depends on tear location and your functional goals, and may involve exercise based rehab or post surgical support.
Runner's knee (patellofemoral pain)
Pain around or behind the kneecap linked to patellar tracking and load, common in runners and anyone increasing training volume. Being close to the Bay Run, we see a steady number of local runners and walkers with this type of knee pain.
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
Overload injury to the patellar tendon at the front of the knee, common in jumping and running sports.
Post surgical knee rehabilitation
Structured rehab following total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction or meniscus surgery, delivered in line with your surgeon's protocol. Our team has further training in pre and post total knee replacement rehab.
Treatments include
Manual therapy, targeted exercise rehab, movement and gait retraining, load management and Clinical Pilates.

Common questions about knee pain
What is the most common cause of knee pain?
Knee osteoarthritis and patellofemoral pain (runner's knee) are among the most common causes seen in physiotherapy, alongside ligament and meniscus injuries from sport.
How long does knee pain take to improve?
Mild cases often improve within a few weeks of targeted exercise. Post surgical or chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis typically need a longer structured program, often 8 to 12 weeks or more.
Do I need a scan or referral first?
No, you don't need a scan or a referral to see us. Your physio will assess you and guide you on whether a scan is needed.
Can physiotherapy treat osteoarthritis without surgery?
Yes. Exercise based physiotherapy is a recommended first line treatment for knee osteoarthritis and can reduce pain and improve function, often delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.
Do you treat clients outside Drummoyne?
Yes, we see clients from right across the Inner West and beyond, including Five Dock, Concord, Rozelle, Abbotsford, Russell Lea, Canada Bay, Balmain, Lilyfield, Leichhardt, Haberfield, Hunters Hill and Gladesville.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Wear or bring comfortable shorts so we can properly assess your knee, and bring any relevant scans, imaging reports or referral letters if you have them.
Can I claim on private health?
Yes, we offer private health fund rebates, making it easier and more affordable to get the care you need.
