Knee Pain Doesn’t Usually Fix Itself

Most people wait too long before getting treatment. What started as a small niggle, stiffness or slightly discomfort, slowly develops into:

  • Pain when squatting, bending, or using stairs

  • Reduced mobility

  • Instability, clicking, or your knee giving out

  • Gym or sports limitations

  • Joint swelling & stiffness

  • Compensation injuries in your hips, lower back or ankles.

The earlier the underlying issue is addressed, the easier the recovery usually becomes.

Testimonials

  • "I came to him with a lower back issue that three other physio’s had tried to help with. His combination of dry needling combined with sourcing the true cause of the pain, and appropriate rehab techniques, had incredible results. I had 3-4 sessions and 5 years later I still have no issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

    — Dan B

  • "What really sets him apart is that he doesn’t just treat the symptoms, he takes the time to understand the root cause of each issue and puts practical measures in place to fix it long-term. Alongside easing pain, he provides clear guidance, tailored exercises, and ongoing support to help prevent problems from coming back. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable physio who’s approachable, thorough, and genuinely invested in your recovery, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

    — Aaron H

  • "Leon is an outstanding physio! I have been a client for a few years and Leon has helped me find my way back to sports when many others had told me I wouldn't be able to do the things I wanted too. We certainly proved them wrong. Leon is kind, caring and listens and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

    — Charlotte M

  • "Can't recommend Leon enough. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable Physio who’s helped me rehab a pretty stubborn back injury. He takes the time to properly assess what’s going on, explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and gives you a clear plan to get back on track."
