Home / Meet the team / Nic Blackah

Nic Blackah is a senior physiotherapist at Karrinyup Physio with a strong clinical focus on advanced knee rehabilitation and complex knee conditions. He specialises in the management of ACL injuries and reconstruction, patellofemoral pain, knee osteoarthritis, and post-operative knee rehabilitation, and is frequently involved in cases where progress has stalled or outcomes have not met expectations.

Nic works with both athletic and non-athletic populations, from recreational and elite athletes to individuals whose knee pain is limiting work or daily life. His approach emphasises detailed assessment, objective strength and functional testing, and progressive, evidence-based rehabilitation to restore knee function, confidence, and long-term durability.

He is also the Director of the POSM Performance Lab, where he collaborates closely with orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine practitioners across Perth. In this role, Nic regularly performs advanced knee assessments to guide return-to-sport and return-to-work decision-making following ACL reconstruction and other knee surgeries.

Earlier in his career, Nic gained experience working in elite sport with the Western Force and has contributed to physiotherapy education through teaching at Curtin University. These experiences underpin his structured, high-level approach to knee rehabilitation.

His goal is to deliver precise, individualised knee care and to be recognised as a leading knee physiotherapist in Perth
