The 2-phase Assessment Method That Gets You to a confident Acute Knee Diagnosis Without Running Through a checklist of tests
Stop Testing Everything. Start Assessing with Purpose.
Download my FREE one-page Acute Knee Assessment Framework – A structured clinical guide for approaching every acute knee assessment with a clear, repeatable diagnostic process.
Are you a physiotherapist, athletic therapist, or chiropractor who wants to assess and diagnose acute knee injuries with more confidence?
You know the pattern. Active, passive, and resisted testing. All the special tests. Maybe even manual muscle testing. Going through the motions without connecting any of it back to what the history has already told you.
That’s an assess-to-treat mindset. And it leads to uncertainty, second-guessing, re-assessments, and a patient who can tell you’re not quite sure.
There’s a better way.
Assess to diagnose. Not to treat.
The Acute Knee Assessment Framework is a structured clinical guide built on one core principle: assess to diagnose.
The four history lenses that drive your working diagnosis
Mechanism of injury, timing of swelling, patient demographics, and red flag screening. All before you touch the patient.
A 2-phase physical exam structure
Standing observation (including squat assessment) and supine physical exam, progressing from straight leg to flexion-based tests and palpation as the patient allows, without unnecessary position changes.
What Therapists Are saying about our courses
Very engaging course. Able to apply new knowledge right away and practice new skills with great feedback from instructors.
This course has completely changed the way I will assess knees. It is streamlined, specific & immediately applicable. Not only will your skills improve, but your confidence will too!
Course was great, evidence-based and provided an outline of a systematic & focused assessment for the knee. Allowed a lot of time for practical hands-on assessment and application.
This course was amazing. I feel much more confident now assessing acute knee injuries that come into my clinic off the ski hill and what next steps and referral are.
