Introducing Advanced Knee Care at Karrinyup Physio!
Advanced Knee Care is a dedicated service focused on the assessment and management of all knee conditions across the lifespan, with a particular interest in persistent, complex presentations and post-operative rehabilitation.
This includes:
• Knee osteoarthritis and long-standing pain
• Patellofemoral pain and instability
• Ligament, meniscal and cartilage injuries
• ACL rehabilitation and return-to-sport planning
• Post-operative rehabilitation (ACL, meniscus, cartilage)
• Knees that have not responded to previous treatment or require a second opinion
This service is built around a structured, data-informed approach, combining detailed clinical assessment with objective strength and functional testing to guide decision-making and progression throughout rehabilitation.
The aim is to provide patients with clarity around their diagnosis, measurable targets, and a defined pathway for recovery, particularly in cases where progress has stalled.

Advanced Knee Care is led by Nic Blackah, senior physiotherapist at Karrinyup Physio, with a clinical focus on knee rehabilitation.
Nic works closely with orthopaedic surgeons and sports physicians across Perth and is actively involved in ongoing research and the application of evidence-based rehabilitation, particularly in ACL and post-operative knee management.
He has experience managing a broad spectrum of knee presentations; from early osteoarthritis through to complex post-surgical and persistent cases, with a strong focus on guiding patients through structured, criteria based rehabilitation and return to activity.
His approach emphasises:
• Accurate diagnosis
• Objective measurement
• Progressive, individualised rehabilitation
