Pain We Treat
Knee Pain
Melbourne Muscular Therapies
Knee discomfort — whether a sharp niggle, a deep ache, or a feeling of instability — interrupts daily activities and exercise. Hip and ankle mobility issues frequently contribute to knee problems, and sedentary lifestyles create muscular imbalances where some muscles tighten while others weaken.
Our methodology uses slow and deep penetrating strokes to address dysfunction and signal neural relaxation. We identify which muscles require release versus strengthening — and treat previous injury and scar-tissue that commonly affects ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and the meniscus.
We follow a two-phase approach: first cleaning (deep tissue techniques to remove pain and tension), then building (strength development and postural improvement through barefoot exercise rehabilitation).

What Our Clients Say
“I've been to many practitioners and Vanessa is now my only go to.”
Cathy F.
Google Review, Ferntree Gully
“I suffered with chronic lower back pain from a bulging disc and it was preventing me from progressing in my exercise and strength building program. I had tried everything from chiropractic to acupuncture before I was recommended to MMT two years ago. I have since learnt that these guys are the leaders in their field and really understand how my body works. They have not only given me the pain relief that I thought would never happen, they have educated me on how to move correctly and avoid injury.”

“I had pain in my hip & knees for approximately 6 years before coming to see the guys at MMT. I'd tried all kinds of therapies including Physio & Osteo over the years and never really had results to show for the time and money spent. Not only are the guys here genuine, real and authentic but they're also amazing at what they do. Yes, it hurts sometimes but the relief after is 100% worth it.”

How We Fix Knee Pain!
Common Questions
FAQ's
Knee pain typically results from dysfunctional biomechanics or previous injury. Sedentary lifestyles create muscular imbalances where some muscles tighten while others weaken — both contribute to knee stress.
Releasing tension in the quadriceps, TFL, lateral glutes, ITB, and hamstrings provides fast relief. Strengthening the glutes and quads through barefoot training minimises ongoing discomfort.
Ice suits acute injuries with swelling during the first 24–48 hours. Heat works better for chronic cases — it increases blood flow and facilitates natural healing.
Duration varies by individual — presenting complaints, history, and commitment to recommended lifestyle changes. Some clients experience significant relief in one session; others benefit from ongoing treatment over several months.
