Knee and shoulder pain are two of the most common issues we see in people living in and around Hunters Hill.
Whether it’s discomfort building up during regular walks, knee pain from tennis or rowing, shoulder irritation from gym training, or stiffness linked to long hours at a desk, these joints tend to take the brunt of daily life and activity.
For many Hunters Hill residents, pain doesn’t come from a single injury — it develops gradually through repeated load, posture, and movement patterns. When knees or shoulders stop moving well, it can affect everything from exercise and sport to simple tasks like climbing stairs, lifting, or sleeping comfortably. Targeted assessment and treatment focused specifically on these areas can help reduce pain, restore movement, and support a confident return to activity.

How we approach knee and shoulder pain
Our approach to knee and shoulder pain focuses on how these joints are loaded, strengthened, and used in everyday life, rather than relying on short-term symptom relief alone. Pain in the knee or shoulder is often the result of repeated stress, reduced capacity, or poor movement patterns rather than a single structural problem.
Load management is the starting point. We assess how much stress your knee or shoulder is currently tolerating through work, sport, exercise, and daily activity. This allows us to modify aggravating movements, adjust training loads, and reduce unnecessary strain without asking you to stop moving altogether.
From there, strength and rehabilitation become central to recovery. Targeted exercises are used to improve joint stability, tendon capacity, and muscle control around the knee or shoulder. Rehab programs are tailored to your activity level — whether that’s walking, gym training, tennis, rowing, or simply moving more comfortably day to day.
Manual therapy is used to support rehabilitation, not replace it. Hands-on treatment can help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore movement quality, making it easier to engage fully with strengthening and rehab exercises.
As symptoms settle and strength improves, we guide a progressive return to activity. This may involve gradually reintroducing sport, increasing training loads, or building confidence with movements that previously caused pain. The goal is not just to feel better temporarily, but to restore capacity so the knee or shoulder can tolerate ongoing demands with less risk of recurrence.
