Treat Knee OA Without Surgery

Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of pain and reduced mobility in Australians over 50—but surgery isn’t your only option. At After Hours Physio, we bring advanced, evidence-based non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis right to your doorstep. Whether you’re in pain after hours, have limited mobility, or simply prefer home-based care, we’re here when others aren’t.

Why Choose Non-Surgical Treatment?

Recent studies show that non-surgical management, especially when delivered early, can be just as effective in relieving pain and improving function as more invasive interventions. Here’s how we help:

Our Physiotherapy Approach to Knee Osteoarthritis

✅ 1. Targeted Home-Based Exercise Programs

• We tailor low-impact exercises like gentle strengthening, balance drills, and stretching to reduce stiffness and restore mobility.
• Exercises focus on the quadriceps, glutes, and hip stabilisers to unload pressure from the knee joint.

✅ 2. Manual Therapy & Joint Mobilisation

• Hands-on techniques to improve joint movement, ease pain, and reduce swelling.

✅ 3. Pain Management Strategies

• We utilise thermal therapy, taping techniques, and recommend the use of assistive devices (braces, walking aids) if needed.
• Education on activity pacing and joint protection strategies to reduce flare-ups.

✅ 4. Weight Management Support

• As little as a 5kg reduction in body weight can significantly decrease knee joint stress. We offer advice and collaborate with your GP or dietitian if required.

✅ 5. Emerging Treatments & Coordination

• New research points to medications like semaglutide (Ozempic) as helpful adjuncts to physio by aiding weight loss and inflammation.
• We stay up to date and coordinate with your GP for integrated care.
