Knee Pain Physio Frankston
Knee pain in everyday life, running and sport
Knee pain can affect walking, stairs, squatting, work and training. Ash, Master of Physiotherapy, provides one-to-one assessment and treatment in Frankston for sudden, persistent and activity-related knee problems.
What your knee assessment may include
Knee symptoms can be related to changes in training load, joint or tendon irritation, muscle strength, an acute sprain, osteoarthritis or movement elsewhere in the hip, ankle or back.
Ash will discuss how the problem began and what you need to return to, then assess relevant movement, range, strength, balance and load tolerance. For runners and triathletes, this may include recent training changes and how the hip, knee and ankle work together. If your presentation needs medical review or imaging, Ash will explain the next step.
Common questions about knee pain
When should I see a physiotherapist for knee pain?
Consider an assessment if knee pain is affecting walking, stairs, squatting, work, gym, running or sport, if it is not settling, or if you are unsure how much activity is safe.
Do I need a scan before physiotherapy?
Usually not. Ash will assess your knee first and explain whether imaging or medical review would add useful information.
Can physiotherapy help knee osteoarthritis?
Assessment and a graded plan can support strength, movement confidence and activity tolerance, with exercises adapted to your symptoms, goals and current capacity.
Can I keep running with knee pain?
Ash will assess how your knee responds to load and discuss whether you can continue running, temporarily modify training or use a graded return-to-running plan.

Treatment and a graded return to activity
Your treatment plan is tailored to the findings and your goals. It may include education, temporary load modification, hands-on physiotherapy, targeted strengthening, mobility work and gradual progression back to walking, stairs, work, running or sport. Ash can also support rehabilitation after knee surgery when this is appropriate and coordinated with your medical team. Private patients do not need a GP referral.
