Hi I am getting real grief from my knees, I think it's a form of tendenitis. I have had serious problems before, operation, various physios.

I was wondring if anyone in perth can point me in the direction of a good physio, particularly regarding knees, or if they have been through a similar experience what treatment they recieved and if it did much good.

take care of your knees fella's,
cheer for any advice

Try Brett Roberston at Physical Soluations in Joodalup 9301 2281. They also have a clinic in Shenton park Called the Hollywood Functional Rehabilitation Clinic (great set up).

I've had several knee ops and found Brett to be by far the best physio I've seen (and I've seen a few) He also kites so he knows the deal. Just my opnion...all the best.

I used to have knee trouble, after sucking it up for several years, I finally looked for help. The best thing I ever did (with regards to muscle and joint trouble) was going to a Pilates school. I went to one specialising in dancers injuries, they see every possible problem associated with physical activity and are bloody good at fixing them. (the scenery is nice too)

As far as I understand (thanks to wikipedia) Pilates and Yoga seem to be quite different, though I can see how there could be crossover benefits to them too.

I'm pretty keen on doing some pilates for my back and shoulder as well as knee, I wonder if they take bookings short term enough to account for the wind forecast?

Guys, what you want is a Pilates studo with all the equipment, it is kind of like going to gym, but with very structured exercises that target all the subtlties of the muscles. It builds your core strength, but also targets all the muscles that stabilise your joints. The flexibility you gain is also unbelievable. Actually, maybe I should go back, I am getting a few old man pains again...

Dont go to the pilates class at the local gym, they are nothing compared to the real thing. Have some one on one talored exercises and tuition, and make your health insurance pay for it...
