Physio + Exercise Deliver Results – The knee anatomy is simply remarkable. It comprises a complicated network of structures that all work together to stabilise and control the knee. The knee contains cartilage for cushioning, a kneecap for protection and movement, ligaments for stability, and other vital structures.”
That’s why physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments of all structures when new clients arrive.
Today we have a case study to discuss.
Leone has had pain in both knees for 35 years. Taking a holistic approach, I asked Leone about other pain during her neck consult. She confirmed knee issues, which we treated, and she no longer suffers from the long‑standing pain.
Here is Leone now to discuss her journey:
Pain is one of those funny things that sometimes we just ignore and tell ourselves it’s our “normal”. That was me, for 35 of my 45 years, I have just claimed I have “dicky knees”. As a pre‑teen, tests found nothing, so I adapted daily life and exercise around the pain. I assumed “one day” I would just have to have a double knee replacement when the pain got too much.
After seeing Michael about bursitis in my shoulder he asked if anything else was bothering me…I jokingly said he could start with my 35 years of knee pain. I laughed when he said injured knees were his favourite and after his initial diagnosis he claimed he could fix them. He sent me off for a MRI to confirm his suspicions and he was right, a meniscus tear and cartilage deficiency. He reassured me that he had a 98% success rate with his method, not used by many other physios.
With twice weekly sessions involving ultrasound treatments, manual adjustments and massage, along with my simple homework exercises and stopping certain activities that may aggravate it, my left knee had been declared “fixed” (i.e. I am no longer feeling pain!!) and my right is only a few weeks behind (it was always my worse knee!).
I am the first to admit I was a huge sceptic, and of course thought I would be in the 2%, however this painless and easy treatment has removed a pain I had “put off” for 35 YEARS as “normal”!!
If you have knee pain, I recommend you get it assessed by PROHEALTH PHYSIO and see what they can do for you…DON’T wait 35 years!
