Introduction to Knee

Physiotherapy in Edmonton for Knee

Welcome to Revive Spine and Sport Physiotherapy Clinic's patient resource about knee problems.


Knee Anatomy (General)The knee is a sensitive area of the body and one that can be injured doing almost any activity.  The knee is normally exposed and vulnerable and a simple twist can lead to a serious injury as well as ongoing problems and a long recovery time.  Therefore, whether your sport is rugby or racquetball, bowling or badminton, you cannot take chances with this body part.

This section of our site has everything you need to know about preventing or correcting a knee injury.  It is our goal to provide you with resources, exercises and other knee related information that will allow you to learn about how easily this sensitive area can be injured.

When you take the necessary steps in preventing an injury, you will enjoy your chosen sport more and avoid physiotherapy and other painful and time consuming tasks that come with nursing a knee injury.

 Paul and the staff have been an amazing help throughout my knee replacement recovery journey. Paul's dedication is evident in the way he takes the time to explain each exercise thoroughly and tailors them to my pain level. Their support has been invaluable in my rehabilitation process.

Great therapy. Great therapist. The program I was given was very effective in recovering from knee replacement surgery. It also strengthened my hip that I had replaced 2 1/2 years ago. Thanks Paul.

 I just completed 7 weeks of therapy at Revive Spine and Sport Physiotherapy following a total knee replacement. An initial assessment was completed by my therapist to find out what my specific goals were. He developed a plan that was personally designed to slowly increase my strength and stamina and the ability to walk properly once again. I have now reached the point where my walking and balance are steady. I would highly recommend Revive Spine and Sports Physiotherapy due to their expertise in the field. They are also to be commended because of their care and compassion especially to the Senior clientele.

 Revive Spine & Sports Physiotherapy Clinic... I could write endlessly about how amazing this clinic is! I had reconstructive knee surgery in May of 2018 and I did a little bit of physio at a couple different clinics but always left feeling like they never truly cared about me. I called Revive on a rain day from work to make an acupuncture appointment as I am always in pain and to start the woman who answered the phone was so nice and understanding and fit me in right away and needless to say I am now a full time patient of Paul who has absolutely changed my life and I'm not over exaggerating, he is so knowledgeable and truly cares about you and explains everything you need to know about your area of pain, the internal mechanics and what to do to help it get better and stronger, thank you Paul and Revive!! I highly recommend Paul, he goes above and beyond anyone I have ever met in this field, always makes sure you are understanding everything he is doing and why, plus he's super personable. I have been seeing him in the clinic for almost two months now and the difference in strength, mobility and pain reduction is night and day, I am so thankful and can't wait to see where I am in another 2 months.

 A very clean and equipped clinic with knowledgeable and polite staff. The therapist implemented a personalized exercise regime which included instruction via online app and booklets for home workouts. I attended 6 sessions that produced immediate positive results following my knee surgery. I would recommend this clinic.

 I first arrived at this clinic over a month ago to rehabilitate me left knee. After suffering a dislocation my knee was feeling weak and even though I had some treatment at a previous clinic, I could feel the weakness coming back. I have just finished my 6th appointment here and I am already feeling a lot stronger than I have before. Paul takes his time to explain his assessment and the methods he will be using. He thoroughly explains each and every step which was very reassuring. The exercises have gotten more rigorous and my knee has been a lot better for it. Overall I’ve had a fantastic experience at this clinic and I would recommend this place to anyone looking to rehabilitate any injuries.

 Revive has been amazing! I initially went here in 2019 for a pinched nerve in my shoulder, and most recently in 2021 for a knee injury. The Physiotherapists here are so well-informed, and they provide you with videos to remind you about your homework and the proper way to practice the exercises and stretches. It’s fantastic! Paul is amazing, and he took me from limping, to being able to practice balancing exercises on a BOSU—teaching my body muscle memory to rehab and prevent another injury from happening. Here, they don’t just rehab and ensure you heal properly and safely, they also set you up with the knowledge and exercises to prevent future injuries! I’m leaving here transformed, and I feel so much more stable and awate of my balance now. The difference now is pretty incredible, really.

 This is an all around wonderful clinic. I was having a lot of knee pain that happens quite often but never to the extent of how painful it was when I went to see Leila. We managed to work together for a couple of months and my knee got better but then of course something else had to go wrong (my lower back). Again, we worked together with exercises and treatment and my back was up and running again! Leila is an absolute wonderful physiotherapist and Brooklyn is a wonderful receptionist. I know the rest of the staff are very lovely as well If you're considering which clinic to go to, I highly recommend this one!

 I have now been to this clinic for physio/rehab for two injuries. Once for my knee and recently for an achilleas strain. They provide helpful exercises and treatments. Both times I have come out strong and have been able to continue training. Everyone was helpful and I would absolutely go back if I had another injury...hopefully not too soon :)
