Advanced Knee Care
Advanced Knee Care is a focused physiotherapy service offered at Karrinyup Physio, delivered exclusively by Nic Blackah, senior physiotherapist with a dedicated clinical focus on complex knee rehabilitation.
This service is designed for people with persistent, post-operative, or high-demand knee conditions who require a higher level of assessment, clinical reasoning, and structured rehabilitation. Care is tailored, evidence-based, and guided by objective measures where appropriate, with the goal of restoring knee function, confidence, and long-term capacity.
Conditions Treated
Advanced Knee Care is suitable for both athletic and non-athletic individuals and commonly includes management of:
-
ACL injuries and ACL reconstruction rehabilitation
-
Patellofemoral pain and anterior knee pain
-
Knee osteoarthritis
-
Post-operative knee rehabilitation, including meniscal repair, cartilage procedures, and ligament surgery
-
Persistent knee pain where recovery has plateaued or progress has been slower than expected
All assessment and rehabilitation within this service are completed directly by Nic.
Approach to Knee Rehabilitation
Knee pain and dysfunction are rarely solved by exercise alone. Advanced Knee Care focuses on understanding why symptoms persist and tailoring rehabilitation accordingly.
Nic’s approach emphasises:
-
Detailed history taking and knee-specific physical assessment
-
Objective strength and functional testing where appropriate
-
Progressive, evidence-based rehabilitation rather than time-based protocols
-
Ongoing reassessment to guide progression and decision-making
Where relevant, findings are communicated clearly with referring practitioners to support coordinated care.

Post-Operative Knee Rehabilitation
Following knee surgery, appropriate loading, timing, and progression are critical. Advanced Knee Care supports rehabilitation after procedures such as ACL reconstruction, meniscal surgery, and cartilage repair.
Rehabilitation is individualised based on:
-
Surgical considerations
-
Current symptoms and swelling
-
Strength and movement deficits
-
Functional demands of work or sport
