The problem with knee rehab

Most knee rehab in London stops too early. Physiotherapy handles the first 6-12 weeks brilliantly – swelling, range of motion, gait re-training, tissue healing. But that’s stage 1 of a much longer process.

Stages 2, 3, and 4 are where the knee actually gets rebuilt. That’s structured strength training with progressive loading, and it’s the difference between “healed” and “functional” – between a knee that stops hurting and a knee that can run, jump, cut, and lift again.

This is where strength and conditioning coaching plays a critical role. Not as a replacement for physio, but as the essential next stage.

Physio vs S&C in knee rehab

Physiotherapy
Early medical stages. Swelling, range of motion, gait, tissue healing, clearance for loaded exercise.
S&C coaching
Stage 2 onwards. Progressive loading, strength rebuilding, power, movement quality, return to activity.
Working together
Physio for weeks 0-12. S&C from month 3 onwards. Physio continues to check in as needed.

Conditions we work with

  • Pre and post ACL surgery (including double ACL and hamstring grafts)
  • Patella tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
  • Osgood-Schlatter disease in youth
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Knee pain from aging or hormonal changes
  • Meniscus repair recovery
  • Cartilage repair recovery
  • Knee replacement recovery
  • Running injuries (runner’s knee, ITB syndrome)
  • Old sports injuries that never fully resolved

Typical recovery timelines

ACL reconstruction
9-12 months to return to sport. S&C covers months 3-12.
Patella tendinopathy
8-12 weeks of structured loading for significant improvement.
Meniscus repair
4-6 months to full activity. S&C from week 6-8.
Knee replacement
6-12 months full recovery. S&C from month 3 onwards.
Chronic knee pain / arthritis
Meaningful improvement in 6-12 weeks with structured loading.
