All treatments
Knee specialised treatment
Knee
Assessment and rehabilitation for knee tracking, tendon, ligament, meniscus, cartilage and fracture conditions.
Understanding the area
A complete view of the problem.
The knee sits between the stable hip and ankle and relies on an elaborate ligament and cushioning system. Muscles crossing from every direction provide movement and protection during weight-bearing activity.
Five defence mechanisms
From alignment to bone.
Knee care considers femur, tibia and patella alignment, muscle support, collateral and cruciate ligaments, cartilage and menisci, and finally bone.

Conditions assessed
Five levels of knee injury.
Each presentation is assessed individually. The lists below show conditions considered within Fernando’s clinical framework.
Level 2
Muscles
Tendon and bursa conditions
- Pes anserine tendinitis or bursitis
- Patellar tendinitis
- Pre-, supra- or infrapatellar bursitis
- Iliotibial band syndrome
- Biceps femoris tendinitis
- Baker’s cyst
Level 3
Ligaments
Ligament sprains
- Medial or lateral collateral sprain
- Anterior or posterior cruciate sprain
- Coronary ligament sprain
- Patellar ligament sprain
Level 4
Meniscus
Meniscus and cartilage
- Medial or lateral meniscus tear
- Chondromalacia patella
- Knee arthritis or arthrosis
- Tibiofibular arthrosis
Level 5
Bones
Fractures
- Tibial plateau stress fracture
- Patellar fracture
Septic arthritis needs urgent medical care. Assessment also considers osteochondritis dissecans, rheumatoid arthritis and pain referred from the pelvis or spine.
