Knee pain physiotherapy and rehabilitation

As a middle aged man with 2 dodgy knees and a history of not finding physio helpful, I am delighted with the exercises prescribed by Jaime and the treatment she gave. Patrick Mitchell

Excellent professional diagnoses and rehab plan.

Excellent professional diagnoses and rehab plan. Having the availability of the gym added an extra bonus to physiotherapy because Jess was able to run through with me the equipment and weights to use to sort my knee out.

I have been very happy with the treatment and advice I received from Physio Action in Chapel Allerton. My knee is so much better. Where there was instability and pain in my knee before, there has been none of that for over 4 weeks now.

Gill has been very flexible and her advice and exercises have been extremely useful

I came to the clinic following a knee injury from running. Whilst it has been tricky for me to keep on top of this with my work schedule, Gill has been very flexible and her advice and exercises have been extremely useful regardless. I look forward to continuing with rehab once I am able to commit more time to this.

I left feeling I had gotten the best possible advice

I was referred to Stephen by a knee surgeon who had evaluated my knees following a running injury. The injury turned out to be minor, but the surgeon said I would benefit from certain types of strengthening exercises which Stephen could help me with. Stephen evaluated how my legs and lower joints were operating and concluded that my knees are mostly fine, but agreed with the surgeon that strengthening would help, albeit with a slightly different kind of strengthening. Stephen explained his conclusions using video evidence of me bending my knees under weight, and provided an excellent set of exercises that I could do at home. Crucially, Stephen listened to what I said about my activities and previous (mostly unsuccessful) attempts to add strength training to my routine. He provided a small set of exercises that I could do only once or twice a week, making it far more likely that I will actually manage to remember what the exercises are, and to keep up with them. Throughout, Stephen backed his suggestions up with a clear grasp of developments in the relevant science, and I left feeling I had gotten the best possible advice.

I turned up at my first appointment, having been referred through my company health insurance, unable to walk properly because my knee was extremely painful and kept giving way when I walked. It had been getting progressively worse in the previous 6 weeks and nothing I did made it any better. I wasn’t particularly hopeful it would work but had been told this was the first step towards getting further specialist input and I therefore had to do this. The physio I had did lots of asking me to move my leg and pressing on bits to see when it work and took lots of background information about my health generally. He was extremely thorough in coming up with a diagnosis and explaining what he thought the issue was. In terms of treatment I was expecting lots of painful exercises using exercise bikes or resistance bands. In reality treatment involved the advice to not do anything that hurt, to use ice to reduce swelling and some very basic exercises that could be done sitting on a chair needing no special equipment. Just over 2 months later and having had follow up sessions to monitor progress and give different exercises as it recovered (all equally simple), I can now walk without pain and generally don’t feel any pain in my knee. I would recommend going for physio here (I saw Stephen who specialises in lower limb injuries and has over 25 years experience which showed). I am very happy with the outcome.

Allen’s support on this journey has been immensely beneficial – a consummate professional.

Allen Brown’s expertise and guidance have been extremely valuable to me in the rehabilitation of my knee following an injury in jiu-jitsu. I had ACL surgery scheduled for next week, but cancelled it three weeks ago due to the strength of my recovery. Yesterday, I was discharged from physio with my knee feeling fantastic. Allen’s support on this journey has been immensely beneficial – a consummate professional.

I had 6 physio sessions following a partial knee replacement spread over 8 weeks. Allen in your Harrogate Clinic was very easy to work with and pushed me on at a very steady pace. I now feel confident with walking and keeping up with the exercises.

Have used Physio Action many times over the years for different issues (usually knee related) and they have always been brilliant. Excellent at diagnosing root cause of problems, treating with quality massage and prescribing sensible and achievable exercises to alleviate problems. Seen a number of physios through them, most recently Alan Brown in their Harrogate Clinic who again has been excellent. Would highly recommend.
