KNEED

KNEED is a digital clinical programme for adults with knee osteoarthritis, designed to address knee pain and movement alongside excess weight. Its six-month service combines personalised physiotherapy with medically supervised, food-based weight management, delivered online by CORU-registered clinicians. Participants receive support from physiotherapists and dietitians, targeted exercise guidance, formulated medical meals delivered monthly, and a longer-term Mediterranean-style eating plan. The programme is fully remote and offers one-to-one clinician support, making care accessible without in-person appointments.

KNEED describes its approach as informed by the University of Melbourne’s Better Knee, Better Me study. The organisation reports that participants may lose 9–15 kg in the first six weeks, depending on starting weight, and 10–20% of body weight over six months; outcomes vary. Its stated aim is to help improve pain and function, support mobility and independence, and reduce stress on the knees. KNEED is referral-based and offers prospective patients a free suitability or exploratory consultation, while providing doctors with clinical information and patient referral resources.
