Conditions We Treat

You might be dealing with:

  • Knee pain and stiffness

  • Pain when walking, running, squatting or using stairs

  • Knee weakness or instability

  • Swelling or reduced movement

  • Pain that keeps coming back

  • A previous knee injury that is affecting your activity

At Perform Health Co, we’ll assess your knee, look at how you move and listen to what’s been happening. We’ll explain what we find and give you a clear treatment and rehabilitation plan based on your symptoms, goals and lifestyle.

Treatment includes hands-on Physiotherapy assessment and treatment from session one, targeted exercises and progressive strength training.

We’ll help you understand your knee pain and give you a real roadmap to your recovery beyond being pain-free.

  1. Assess & Diagnose

    A thorough assessment of your knee and the surrounding area to find the root cause and diagnose the issue.

  2. Test & Measure

    We test your strength and range of motion to give you objective data and a clear baseline to track progress.

  3. Treat & Re-test

    Hands-on treatment to relieve your pain, re-testing as we go so you can see the improvement.

  4. Rehab & Strength

    Real rehab to strengthen your knee and improve function, so you can get back to doing what you love.

More Than Treating Your Knee Pain

At Perform Health Co, we look beyond the painful area to understand what is contributing to your knee problem and what needs to change. Your care is designed to take you from identifying the issue through to rebuilding the strength and confidence needed for the activities that matter to you.

A key difference is our in-house rehab gym. Rather than rehabilitation being something you are left to manage on your own, your Physiotherapist can work with you in the gym to develop strength, movement and control as your knee improves.

From assessment and diagnosis through to treatment and rehabilitation, your care stays connected within the same clinic. The focus is not simply on settling knee pain, but on helping you build your capacity to use your knee again.

  • Pain and irritation in the tendon below the kneecap, often caused due to an overload with running, jumping or sudden increased training volume generally.

  • Change to cartilage in the knee causing pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. Our hands on assessment and treatment can get your moving better, reduce inflammation and get you moving forward.

  • "I highly recommend Steven as a Physiotherapist. He has worked on my knee with acupuncture and manipulation over the last few weeks and I am delighted with the results. Having gym equipment in his room is an enormous benefit when demonstrating exercises required for rehabilitation. His clinic is so welcoming, spotlessly clean and has a real sense of wellness!!"

    Recent Client

  • "Steven's analysis and diagnosis of a weakening R knee situation was careful and thorough. What I particularly liked was his calm demeanour and listening skills ensuring he had the full facts before going forward. The exercises he prescribed were targeted and are already having benefits."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your first appointment is focused on understanding your problem and finding out what may be contributing to it. Your Physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, medical history and any relevant activities or goals before carrying out a detailed physical assessment.

    They will explain their findings with you and outline what they recommend next. Where appropriate, this may include hands-on treatment, specific exercises or a programme using our in-house rehab gym. You will leave with a clear understanding of what is causing or contributing to your symptoms and the next steps in your rehabilitation.

  • No. As a private Physiotherapy practice, you do not need a GP referral to book an appointment with us. You can self refer and access treatment directly.

    The benefits of early intervention means we can get you moving more pain-free sooner and back to doing what you love.

  • Yes. We work with several major private health insurance providers. This includes Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Healix and Axa Health.

    Coverage depends on your individual policy, so we recommend checking with your insurer before your appointment to confirm what is included. If required, we can provide invoices or reports to support your claim and help with the reimbursement process.

  • The number of sessions you need depends on the type of injury, your goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people feel significant pain relief within a few sessions, while others require a longer rehabilitation plan to fully rehabilitate.

    Early treatment often focuses on reducing pain and improving range of motion. As you progress, the focus shifts towards getting stronger and back to doing what you love as soon as possible. This approach helps support longer term recovery and reduces the chance of symptoms returning.

    After your initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will give you a clear plan of what to expect and discuss a timeline that suits your needs.
