Finding it Hard to Move Without Knee Pain?
Knee pain can limit walking, stairs, training, and everyday comfort. Whether you’re experiencing joint discomfort, instability, or tightness around the kneecap or thigh, Glenn Strutt offers local Osteopathic care at Brisbane Livewell Clinic. You can book with him in Cannon Hill for a structured, hands-on approach to knee pain.
How Glenn Strutt Supports Knee Function and Discomfort
Glenn begins with a full assessment of how your knee is moving, loading and compensating. He looks at surrounding joints (ankle, hip, pelvis) and muscle balance to determine the underlying physical contributors. Many knee problems are linked to poor biomechanics, muscle imbalance, or loading issues from other areas.
Treatment may include manual therapy, movement correction, soft tissue techniques, and strategies to reduce daily strain. Your session is focused on restoring function without aggravating symptoms.

Meet Glenn Strutt – Osteopath for Lower Limb Function
Glenn Strutt supports patients looking to improve joint mobility and reduce pain in functional movements. His work with the knee focuses on how the whole lower limb operates under physical load.
“Knee pain is often the result of something else not working well, such as a stiff hip, poor foot control or weakness above the joint. I assess the full chain to understand where that load is coming from.” Glenn Strutt, Osteopath at Brisbane Livewell Clinic
