A physiotherapist measuring the bend of a patient's knee with a goniometer

00–10 · Talk

What happened, what makes it worse, what you want back.

10–20 · Test

Strength, range, the movements that hurt. We measure, we don't guess.

20–35 · Treat

Hands-on, needles or tape if they help. Usually some of each.

35–45 · Plan

Three to five exercises, written down, that fit around your week.

Tape holds you together for a week.

The plan holds you for good.

Every plan is written down, with the weeks on it. You always know where you are and what’s next. Here’s a runner’s knee:

Wk 01

Calm it down

Walk without limping. Tape, ice, two easy exercises.

Wk 03

Load it

Stairs, squats, the first slow jog on grass.

Wk 06

Run again

Back to 5 km. Tape only if you want it.

Wk 10

Done

Back to your 10 km. We see you once more, to check.

Five clinicians.

One of them will get it.

Physios, an osteo and a sports massage therapist who talk to each other about you, so you don’t have to tell your story twice.

Tram stops outside, they ran on time every visit, and nobody tried to sell me a package.

Before you book.

Do I need a referral?

No. Book directly. If your GP has written one, bring it.

Physio or osteo?

Not sure? Book an initial assessment with either. We'll swap you over if the other one makes more sense.

Can I claim on my health fund?

Yes, on the spot, with most funds. Bring your card.

What should I wear?

Something you can move in. Shorts for knees and ankles.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need three to six. We'll tell you at the first one, and we'll tell you when to stop.

Do you tape everyone?

No. Tape helps some people for a week or two. The exercises do the real work.
