Knee Physio Perth

Knee physiotherapy is a specialised treatment focused on assessing, diagnosing, and managing conditions affecting the knee joint. At Next Wave Therapy, our experienced physiotherapists provide targeted interventions to help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function in the knee. Whether you’re dealing with an injury, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery, our approach involves a thorough clinical assessment, personalised exercise programs, and hands-on techniques to support your recovery. We aim to get you back to your daily activities, sports, or work as quickly and safely as possible, with a focus on long-term health and prevention of future issues.

Your initial consultation includes a thorough evaluation, where we take a detailed history and perform a physical assessment. We then provide a clear diagnosis and commence hands-on treatment. Additionally, you’ll receive a comprehensive management plan with prescribed exercises and advice on the recommended frequency and duration of your treatment.

Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, allows for feedback and questions. We perform a streamlined re-evaluation through a physical assessment, helping you to see the benefits of the treatment. Subsequent consultations are designed to support your recovery and achieve optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or non-attendance are billed at 50% of the consult fee and do not qualify for a rebate.

A doctor’s referral is generally not required unless your condition is associated with Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Injury, Veterans Affairs, or a Medicare Mental Health Care plan. In most cases, you can directly schedule an appointment since all our physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners capable of providing comprehensive care without a referral.
