Don’t Let Knee Pain Hold You Back
Knee pain can show up in moments you least expect it, climbing the stairs, or even just getting out of bed in the morning.
With our knee physiotherapy in Melbourne, we work to find the real cause, whether it’s a ligament strain, cartilage damage, or the lasting effects of a past injury. From there, we put together a treatment plan aimed at lasting improvement, not just short‑term relief.
It’s not only about the pain itself. Trouble with your knees can make everyday tasks harder and sometimes frustrating – bending to tie your shoes, standing from a chair, or keeping up with friends on a walk. When you start avoiding these activities, muscles weaken further and mobility drops. Our physio for knee pain is about stepping in before that happens, or helping you rebuild if it already has.
Our expert physiotherapists are trained to identify and treat the underlying causes of your pain, preventing it from coming back. By the end of the session, you'll have a clear, practical plan to target and manage the problem areas for lasting relief.

When to See Our Knee Physiotherapists in Melbourne?
With the right treatment, knee pain can often be reduced significantly, and in some cases, resolved completely.
Many people believe knee discomfort is just “wear and tear” from ageing, but it’s not always that simple. Pain can signal load or muscle imbalances that need professional care.
If you are experiencing knee pain (all the time or once in a while), don’t wait for it to worsen but seek professional help today. Starting knee physiotherapy early can address the root cause of the issue, improve function and may help you avoid surgery down the track. Also, post‑surgery, knee physio can speed recovery and rebuild strength. Connect with us at Livewell Health for more information regarding our physio for knee pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
01What knee conditions do you help with?
Whether you’re managing arthritis, recovering from ligament surgery, or dealing with an overuse injury from running or cycling, we can help. Our care is designed to match your needs, from early‑stage pain relief to return‑to‑sport programs.
02Do you offer post physiotherapy support?
Through our knee physio sessions, we aim to offer more than just present relief. During the sessions, our team will take their time to educate you on movement patterns and load management to help you keep knee pain out of the picture for years to come.
03How long does recovery take?
Recovery times vary. Minor strains might settle in weeks, while more complex injuries like ACL tears or advanced arthritis may take months of consistent care. At Livewell Health, we analyse your situation and give you a tentative timeline.
04Can physio help after knee surgery or replacement?
Yes. Post‑operative physio is essential for regaining range of motion, rebuilding muscle, and restoring confidence in your knee’s function. But it is important that you proceed with care and engage with an experienced knee physiotherapist.
05What exercises are used in knee rehab?
At Livewell Health, we always develop the program based on your health conditions. A foundational knee therapy program includes diverse exercises like quad and hamstring strengthening, step‑ups, balance drills, resistance band work, functional movements like squats, and stretches for improved flexibility.
