Conveniently located in Mitcham, our experienced knee physiotherapists provide effective, personalised treatment to residents across Melbourne suburbs, including Donvale, Doncaster, Vermont, Park Orchards, Ringwood, Blackburn, and Nunawading.

Recognising When You Need Physiotherapy for Knee Pain

Wondering if you need knee physiotherapy? Here are some clear signs it’s time to see a physiotherapist for knee pain:

  • Persistent soreness or aching around your knee joint
  • Swelling or stiffness that doesn’t improve with rest
  • Clicking, popping, or locking sensations in your knee
  • Difficulty walking, running, climbing stairs, or bending down
  • Pain or discomfort that affects your sleep or daily activities


If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our specialised knee physiotherapists can help you regain your mobility and confidence.

What Causes Knee Pain?

Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from acute injuries to chronic conditions. Understanding these causes helps our knee physiotherapists develop effective, personalised treatment plans. 

Some common reasons you might be experiencing knee pain include:

  • Sports Injuries: ACL tears, meniscus injuries, or ligament sprains resulting from sudden movements or impacts during sports.
  • Osteoarthritis: Age-related wear and tear affecting the knee joint’s cartilage, causing stiffness, swelling, and persistent pain.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Pain at the front of your knee caused by misalignment or weakness in the surrounding muscles.
  • Tendonitis and Bursitis: Inflammation of tendons or fluid-filled sacs (bursae) surrounding the knee, typically caused by repetitive strain.
  • Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or tightness in muscles around the knee joint can lead to increased stress and pain.


Whatever the cause, early intervention with physiotherapy for knee issues can greatly improve your recovery outcomes.
