The Global Specialist Physiotherapy Telehealth Clinic provides expert physiotherapy consultations for knee injuries, from the comfort of your home.

Whether you’re dealing with a new injury, considering surgery, or looking for guidance on ongoing pain or recovery, we can assist.


MRI Review:

BEST FOR YOU IF: You want an expert review of your knee MRI to understand whether a non-surgical pathway is likely to be a good option for you.

If your knee MRI shows an ACL or meniscus injury, a skilled clinician can review your results to assess the injury pattern and determine your potential for non-surgical recovery.

This is a good starting point if you are early in the decision-making process, or if you want to know whether you are a good candidate for conservative management.

Please note: The MRI review does NOT include an assessment of your history, lifestyle and goals, and does not include the development of a rehabilitation plan. For a more comprehensive assessment, including MRI review, an Initial Consultation would suit you best.

Phases of Non-Surgical Knee Recovery

Phase One: Calm Symptoms Down

The aim of this phase is to calm your symptoms down, improve your knee stability and maximise your chances of healing with the Richardson protocol.

This usually takes around three months, and consists of five or ten, 30 to 60 minute sessions with a Global consultant. We will check your updates, answer all your questions, review your exercises and update your program.

Phase Two: Build Strength

The aim of this phase is to build up your strength and confidence through activity and exercise.

This usually takes around three months, and consists of ten, 30 to 60 minute sessions with your Global consultant to check in, answer all your questions, review your exercise performance and progress your program.

Phase Three: Return to Sport

The aim of this phase is to guide you back to your preferred sporting activities safely, and develop a program designed to reduce your risk of re-injury.

This is usually carried out six to nine months into your rehabilitation journey, and often consists of a 2 hour return to sport assessment, and five, 30 to 60 minute prevention sessions.

How a telehealth consultation works:

Step One: Book Your Appointment

Choose a time that suits you and complete the brief booking form. You don’t need a referral.

Step Two: Receive Your Secure Video Link

We’ll email you a link before your appointment. At the scheduled time, simply click the link on your phone, tablet, or computer to join your expert  physiotherapist.

Step Three: Set Up Your Space

For the best experience, be in a quiet, well-lit area with your device stable and at about eye level. Ideally, wear comfortable clothing - shorts and a singlet are ideal - so we can see the area we’re assessing and guide you through movements safely.

During your consultation, we’ll listen to your story, review any scans or reports you have, assess your movement, and discuss your diagnosis, options, and next steps. You’ll leave with a clear plan and an opportunity to book follow-up sessions if needed.
