It is important to have an experienced Sports Physiotherapist from the team at Complete Balance perform a detailed assessment in order to accurately diagnose your condition.
Once your Complete Balance Physiotherapist has diagnosed your knee pain, they will outline a treatment management plan for you. This may include:

With any knee injury it is important to work on the joints and muscles above and below the knee for full function. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe a detailed rehabilitation program for you. You may also qualify for our gym based rehabilitation classes for further guidance & supervision.
