Join our targeted classes to accelerate your recovery and regain full mobility.
What is Knee Rehabilitation?
Knee rehabilitation is a targeted programme to restore strength, flexibility, and function to your knee after injury or surgery. At RX Physiotherapy, we tailor our rehab plans to each client, whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a sports injury, or dealing with a chronic condition. Our aim is to help you regain full knee function, prevent future injuries, and improve your quality of life.
Our Knee Rehabilitation Group Class
Welcome to RX Physiotherapy’s Knee Rehabilitation Group Class, a focused programme designed to restore your knee strength and mobility over the course of 6 weeks. Located in Wollongong, our programme is led by an experienced physiotherapist who tailors each session to meet your specific rehabilitation needs. With small group sizes—limited to just five participants—you’ll receive the personalised attention you need in a supportive environment. Each session is carefully crafted to help you achieve your recovery goals efficiently, with professional guidance every step of the way.
Duration
Our knee rehabilitation programme runs for six weeks, providing a structured and progressive approach to improving knee health. Each week, you’ll engage in a customised routine designed to steadily increase your strength and reduce pain, ensuring you make consistent progress throughout your recovery journey.
Location
Classes are conducted at our state-of-art physiotherapy clinic, located at 1/35 Shellharbour Road, Lake Illawarra, NSW 2528.
Frequency
Sessions are held twice a week, with each session lasting an hour, giving you the perfect balance of activity and recovery.
Our Approach to Knee Rehabilitation
At RX Physiotherapy, we believe in a personalised approach, even within a group setting. Here’s how our programme works:
We start with a thorough initial consultation to understand your specific goals and assess the current condition of your knee. During this session, we’ll discuss your medical history and how your knee issues are affecting your daily activities. This evaluation helps us decide if our Knee Rehabilitation class is the best fit for you, or if a more personalised, one-on-one physiotherapy approach would be more beneficial.
We regularly assess your progress, adjusting your programme as needed to ensure continuous improvement.
Based on your assessment, we design a tailored exercise programme that fits within the group structure, ensuring you get the most out of every session.
What to Expect in a Knee Group Rehab Session
Each of our group rehab sessions at RX Physiotherapy is structured to maximise your recovery:
Warm-Up/Prep
Gentle exercises to prepare your knee for the main workout.
Main Exercise Routine
A focus on strength, flexibility, and mobility, tailored to your specific needs.
Cool-down and Stretching:
To ensure your muscles recover properly and reduce any potential stiffness.
Accessory Exercises
In addition to the primary rehabilitation exercises, we incorporate accessory exercises that complement your recovery. These are less demanding movements designed to improve overall knee stability, support muscle balance, and enhance joint function as part of your comprehensive rehabilitation plan.
Note: The above is a general program format. It can and most likely will look very different for each person.
