Knee Unit · San Juan de Alicante
Your knee, looked after by a team that works together
Physiotherapists, a sports rehabilitation specialist and an orthopaedic surgeon in the same clinic. We assess your knee with ultrasound, treat the injury and support you until you can run, jump or climb stairs without thinking about it.

Ultrasound assessment
We examine the knee, measure strength and mobility and look at the structures with ultrasound in the same visit.
A plan with goals
We explain what is wrong and agree measurable goals: pain, mobility, strength and activity.
Treatment
Manual therapy, exercise and, when it helps, EPI®, neuromodulation, shockwave or magnetotherapy.
Rehabilitation and discharge
Strength, running and jumping, with tests before each step, until you are back to your activity.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. You can book directly. If the assessment shows you need a scan or a medical opinion, we will tell you and can arrange it with the team’s orthopaedic surgeon.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the injury and your goals. We give you an estimate in the first session and review it as you progress.
Do you treat knees after surgery?
Yes. We provide rehabilitation after ACL, meniscus and knee replacement surgery, in coordination with your surgeon.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Any reports and scans you have (MRI, ultrasound, surgical report) and comfortable clothes that let us see the knee.
