The Droitwich Knee Clinic Chartered Physiotherapists have 20 years ‘hands on’ experience of treating of all kinds of knee problems; they have worked closely with the Consultants for many years. The Clinic is unique in this special relationship which offers a more complete service to our patients.

Our physiotherapists strongly believe in good post-operative rehabilitation and ensure that their patients are capable of returning to the activities they enjoy. This is achieved by continuous assessment, appropriate exercise prescription and sports specific training. To this end they have various tests at their disposal including computerised isokinetic muscle testing.

Not all problems require surgery and our physiotherapists are experienced at discussing problems and after a thorough examination deciding the appropriate course of action.

As specialist in their field they receive direct referrals from GPs, Consultants and other health professionals. Self referral after a recommendation from a friend is often how patients make their first appointment.

We have all the modern technology needed to assess and treat your specific needs

• Kincom Isokinetic  muscle strength and endurance testing

Rehabilitation after surgery is a vital and sometimes under valued part of recovery.
