Knee pain books the physiotherapy assessment, unless it's clearly driven by your feet (orthotic history, foot symptoms alongside it). In that case, book the podiatry assessment.

For existing physiotherapy patients
The REBUILD method
Rehab with a destination—and the data to guide you there.
Every REBUILD Plan combines clinical physiotherapy with practical sports-science principles. We establish a baseline, progress the right physical qualities and repeat relevant measures so decisions are based on your response—not a calendar or guesswork.
02
Restore capacity
Settle the problem without losing momentum, then rebuild mobility, control and foundational load tolerance.
03
Build strength & power
Progress resistance, speed and complexity when your response and repeat measures show you are ready.
04
Return & sustain
Re-test against your baseline, prepare for real-world demands and leave with a long-term plan.
We measure what matters to your goal
Depending on your diagnosis, that can include pain and function scores, range of motion, strength, repetitions, hop or movement tasks, and VALD ForceDecks or DynaMo testing. Your results help set the next stage; the technology never replaces clinical judgement.

30 min · existing patients

If care ends early, completed appointments are charged at their standard individual prices and the remaining balance is refunded. Insurance-funded appointments are billed per session and remain subject to your insurer's terms. Tests and treatments are selected for your diagnosis; no specific technology or outcome is guaranteed.

Health Insurance
Cover and pre-authorisation rules vary by provider and policy. Insurance-funded appointments are billed per session rather than as a REBUILD Plan. Please contact us before booking if you need help confirming the correct appointment or procedure code.
Pricing Questions
Not Sure What You Need?
