Frequently Asked Questions

​

How do I know if physiotherapy is right for me?
If you’ve had knee pain for over a week that hasn’t improved with rest and it’s affecting your daily activities, it may be worth getting assessed.
You don’t need a referral to see me, and I’ll tailor your plan to your goals and lifestyle.

​

How soon after surgery should I start physio?
For most knee surgeries, you can see a private physiotherapist around two weeks post-op, depending on your surgeon’s protocol. Early movement is often recommended to support mobility and reduce stiffness.

 

Can physio help avoid knee surgery?
For some conditions especially osteoarthritis and other joint-related pain, physiotherapy may help reduce symptoms and improve function, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.​​
