Rehabilitation
Netball and knee injuries
Landing, pivoting and a crowded court — physiotherapy for a very local sport.
Symptoms and what they can mean
A landing that went wrong, or a season of anterior knee pain. Netball asks the knee to turn on a planted foot. That is a lot of ask.
What we can do in clinic
Early: swelling and protection. Later: hop tests and confidence. I will not clear you for Saturday because the team is short.
Red flags and when to see your GP
A pop and immediate swelling — get assessed for ACL or similar before we invent a plan.
