Knee pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a physiotherapist. Left untreated, it can have a significant impact on your mobility, daily routine and overall quality of life. Whether you're finding it hard to enjoy a walk, stay active, or make it through the workday without discomfort, it may be time to get the right support.

At Leap Healthcare in Mount Waverley, our physiotherapy team is experienced in diagnosing and treating all types of knee pain. We’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in your body.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Knee pain can result from a range of issues, including:

  • Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee)

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL)

  • Meniscus tears

  • Tendinitis or tendinopathy

  • Bursitis

  • Muscle imbalances and poor biomechanics

Understanding the true cause of your knee pain is essential. That’s why we begin every treatment plan with a detailed assessment, so we can tailor your care to what your body actually needs.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy offers a non-invasive and evidence-based way to manage and overcome knee pain. At Leap Healthcare, we combine hands-on treatment with movement-focused rehabilitation to provide lasting relief.

Your treatment may include:

We take the time to understand your history, symptoms and goals so your care is personalised from day one.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques help reduce pain, improve movement and ease stiffness around the knee joint.

Strength and Conditioning

Targeted exercises build support around the knee, helping to restore function and prevent future injury.

Recovery is a process. We’ll guide you through it with regular reviews, adjustments and support.
