Knee decompression is a targeted, device-assisted approach used for certain knee presentations, within an overall rehabilitation plan. [VERIFY: confirm this equipment is currently available at the clinic before publishing availability.]
Knee decompression applies controlled, targeted unloading to the knee joint using a specialised device, used alongside exercise-based rehabilitation.
Why it may be considered
It may be considered for selected knee conditions after assessment, as one part of a plan focused on strength, movement and load management.
Common reasons people seek assessment
These are reasons to seek a professional assessment — not a promise that a specific treatment will suit everyone.

How it generally works
The knee is positioned in the device and controlled unloading is applied during a session, combined with a strengthening and movement programme. Your response is monitored and the plan adjusted.
