Just completed a course on accelerated rehab for medial knee (MCL) injuries
Here are a few key things patients should know:
• Not all knee ligament injuries need long periods of rest — the right loading early on is essential for healing
• Bracing and controlled weight-bearing can help protect the ligament while it recovers
• Some discomfort during movements like changing direction can be normal as long as stability is improving
• Strengthening (especially quads + hamstrings) plays a huge role in recovery
• Return to sport isn’t just about time — it’s about function, stability, and confidence
The goal?
Protect → restore movement → rebuild strength → return to what you love
If you’ve had a recent knee injury or ongoing pain, getting the right rehab plan early can make all the difference.

Neck pain at work? Here are some desk setup tips
Screen at eye level so you’re not looking down and straining your neck
Feet flat on the floor (or on a footrest) to support good posture
Hips slightly higher than knees to reduce pressure on your lower back
Keyboard and mouse close to your body to avoid reaching and shoulder tension
Take regular movement breaks (every 30–60 mins)

2️. Reduces muscle tension- Stretching can relieve tightness caused by sitting, driving, or training
3. May reduce injury risk- Improved mobility can help your body tolerate load more effectively
4. Helps recovery- Gentle stretching can promote circulation and reduce post-activity stiffness

Ice or heat — when should you use each?
Ice helps reduce inflammation and can calm pain.
It’s great for recent injuries when there is swelling and inflammation.
How: 10–20 minutes, 1–2 times a day. Always place a cloth between the ice and your skin.
Heat helps relax muscles and improve blood flow.
It’s great when muscles feel tight or stiff, or when pain is long-standing or chronic.
How: 10–20 minutes, comfortably warm — not hot.
When NOT to use either:
• Numbness or reduced sensation
• Broken skin
• If you’re unsure — get advice first

Offering a personalised set of services combined with the most up-to-date techniques and high-tech equipment, we guarantee a reliable service every time. We also help to educate our patients about posture and movement, so we don’t just treat your existing condition – we also try to prevent further injuries from occurring.
In 2016, Action Physiotherapy brought the Getback™ exercise program to Newcastle; a world-leading, scientifically-proven back and neck pain treatment program that is highly effective, long-lasting and reliable.
This innovative program is designed to increase the mobility, co-ordination, strength and endurance of your spine. Our clinic holds six medical exercise devices that are specifically designed to target, isolate, progressively exercise and evaluate the function of the muscles in your neck, and lower back. If you want to decrease stiffness and pain emanating from your neck, back, or lower back, Getback™ might be right for you.
Whether you require ongoing intervention to manage a chronic condition or simply need a set of treatment sessions post-injury, Action Physiotherapy can deliver the services you require. We also handle WorkCover injuries and can work with patients involved in third party/motor vehicle accidents.
Treatment for Veterans Affairs (DVA) is also available at our practice, which is part of the Medicare Care Program.
At Action Physiotherapy, we’re committed to providing high-quality physiotherapy treatments to all of our patients and will aim to improve your general mobility and function as much as we can. From using massage to aid muscle problems to drawing on biomechanics to correct movement, we’ll develop a care plan that’s designed to suit your individual requirements.
