Knee pain can make it difficult to walk, exercise or take part in the activities you enjoy.

Whether you are dealing with a sudden sports injury or ongoing discomfort from overuse, our expert physiotherapists in Clayton and Noble Park provide thorough assessment, evidence based treatment and personalised rehabilitation to restore pain free movement and long term knee health.
Tears or sprains of the knee ligaments, often caused by sudden twists, stops or changes in direction during sport.
Pain around the kneecap linked to overuse, poor tracking or muscle imbalance.
Degenerative wear and tear of the knee joint leading to stiffness, pain and reduced function.
Overuse injury of the patellar tendon, common in athletes involved in jumping or running sports.
Knee pain from repetitive activity, poor biomechanics or training overload.
Knee injuries are common among athletes, especially during high-risk sports like football and basketball. If your knees are giving you trouble, it’s best to start with a physiotherapist.
Solidus’ knee physio in Melbourne provides a holistic approach that begins by diagnosing your injury and assessing the movement of the knee. We then determine the best treatment program, which may involve soft tissue massage, strengthening exercises or specific braces.
Our therapists are all licensed health care professionals who can diagnose what your body is telling you and provide treatment to help reduce pain, correct posture, decrease tension, and improve the way you move.
Knee injuries typically involve ligament sprains and tears, fractures, or tendonitis. For example, sprains occur when the knee ligament is exerted beyond its limits, while a fracture is a partial or complete break of the bone.
If you’re suffering from knee injuries that keep occurring, you may have weak or imbalanced muscles. Solidus’ Knee Physios Melbourne can prescribe a program to strengthen those muscles, restoring optimum function. Additionally, we can advise on exercises for proper knee joint alignment that can help prevent further injuries.
The physios at Solidus are experienced in dealing with knee injuries. We locate and address the cause of your pain and focus on restoring knee strength, range of motion, and balance.
Throughout your prescribed strength and conditioning program, our Melbourne knee specialists will gradually increase your level of activity. We’ll closely assess your progress to ensure you are ready before embarking on more challenging exercises. By strengthening your knee ligaments and muscles, you can get back to enjoying your favourite activities with confidence.

Knee pain can be attributed to several reasons, including wear and tear of the cartilage, osteoarthritis, fractures, and ligament tears or sprains. It can also be caused by diseases such as arthritis, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Our Melbourne knee physiotherapists can help you deal with all of these issues. We are experts in the anatomy, biomechanics, neuromuscular function of the knee and treatment of the area. We can prescribe a tailored treatment program to deal with any concerns.
This type of physiotherapy deals explicitly with all knee problems, from top to bottom. Treatments include massage, joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, stretching and strengthening exercises.
Treatment is often prescribed in combination with at-home care to decrease pain and improve your range of motion.
A comprehensive assessment by our physiotherapist is included in the price of your consultation. We’ll determine why you have knee pain by conducting a physical exam, reviewing your medical history, and discussing previous injuries.
We’ll ask you to complete a series of simple exercises so we can determine the best course of treatment for your injuries.
You will not need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist in Australia. As first contact practitioners, physiotherapists are an excellent source of advice and treatment for various medical problems, including knee injuries.
Our knee physiotherapist will diagnose and treat any knee injury or condition. This includes acute injuries like fractures, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, or tendonitis to chronic degenerative conditions like arthritis, gout, or osteoarthritis.
At-home care is an integral part of your treatment. We’ll provide you with appropriate exercises and stretching techniques to help ease your pain and improve your mobility and strength around the knee.
You can also follow a low-impact home exercise program that can be conducted using only your body weight as resistance.
While participating in rigorous or high-impact activities can worsen knee pain, gentle exercise can be effective in restoring mobility and function.
Exercises like walking and swimming can help to relieve knee pain. When you remain sedentary, the lack of movement causes your knee to stiffen, and the muscles surrounding it weaken.
We’re experts in diagnosing and treating knee injuries, and we do it with a specialised approach.
Our specialists work with a wide range of clients with all kinds of knee issues, from elite athletes to older people who want to stay mobile and reduce pain.
Our physiotherapists are passionate about the profession and are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
