Knee osteoarthritis does not have to mean giving up the things you enjoy. The program is designed for adults who have been told they have knee osteoarthritis, or who have had persistent knee pain for more than three months.
60 minutes with your physiotherapist: knee, strength, movement and goals.
A progressive exercise plan built for your knee.
One-on-one, with load progressed as your knee adapts.
Strength and function tracked so you can see the change.
No Gap* For most private health fund members. Your program sessions are billed through your private health fund (HICAPS item 505). With eligible physiotherapy extras cover, your rebate can cover the full $35 session fee, so there is no out-of-pocket gap. Your initial assessment is also billed through your health fund (item 500), and for members with eligible extras cover, that can mean little to no out-of-pocket cost too.
Private health rebates may apply, depending on your extras cover. Patients with a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan are welcome; contact the clinic to discuss. No referral or scan needed to start. No upfront payment and no lock-in contract, so you simply pay as you go.
Krystal leads every assessment and session personally, so the person progressing your program is the person who assessed you on day one.

*Disclaimer: Gap-free or fully covered assessments and sessions are dependent on your individual private health insurance policy. To qualify for a gap-free session, your policy must include physiotherapy extras cover, have an eligible subsidy rate that meets or exceeds our special $35 program fee, and have remaining annual limits. We recommend checking directly with your health fund using HICAPS item codes 500 and 505 to verify your exact level of coverage before starting the program. This month’s No-Gap initial assessment offer is limited to the first 5 new patients who book.
You are in safe, experienced hands. Our physiotherapists have guided thousands of Sydneysiders through knee pain and back to moving well.

One-on-one physio. No referral needed. Limited spots.
Adults who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, or who have had persistent knee pain for more than three months.
The initial assessment (60 minutes) is normally $175, currently $115 for new patients while limited spots last, and for the first 5 new patients each month it is No Gap. Program sessions are then $35 each, which for most private health fund members with eligible physiotherapy extras cover is fully covered, so there is little to no out-of-pocket gap.*
No, you can book directly. A GP referral is only relevant if you are claiming under a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan; contact the clinic to discuss.
Yes, when it is prescribed and progressed appropriately. Australian clinical guidelines recommend exercise as first-line care for knee osteoarthritis, and in this program load is increased gradually and kept within comfortable limits.
A 60-minute appointment where your physiotherapist assesses your knee, strength, movement and goals, explains what is driving your symptoms, and outlines your 12-week plan.
