KNEED is a 6-month digital program combining physiotherapy and medically supervised weight loss for adults with knee osteoarthritis — delivered by CORU-registered clinicians, fully online for your convenience.

Clinically inspired by the University of Melbourne’s Better Knee, Better Me study.
Why KNEED Is Different
Every 1 kg you lose removes ~4 kg of pressure from your knees — meaning 9–15 kg can reduce knee load by 36–60 kg in just 6 weeks.
Why this matters
Research shows that combining medical weight loss with physiotherapy can support greater improvements in pain and movement, reduce joint load, and lower surgical risk, compared with physiotherapy alone.
Most people with knee osteoarthritis are offered medication or physiotherapy alone — but when excess weight, the main driver of joint stress and inflammation, isn’t addressed, results don’t last.
Weight loss is often overlooked because traditional diets are too slow to bring early pain relief.
As a result, patients don’t see it as worth pursuing for knee osteoarthritis — and doctors view it as impractical to recommend.
KNEED changes that.
It provides personalised support from CORU-registered physiotherapists and dietitians, combining targeted physiotherapy with a medically supervised weight-loss diet using formulated foods to achieve faster results, followed by a Mediterranean-style plan for long-term success — all delivered digitally through structured virtual care.
By tackling both the joint and its main driver, KNEED helps reduce pain faster, improve mobility, and protect the knees long-term.
We’ll talk through your situation, explain how the programme works, and answer your questions.
No obligation. If KNEED isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you.
