Where is My Knee Pain Coming From?
Knee pain is a common problem that can arise from various causes, including traumatic injuries, overuse, arthritis, underlying medical conditions, or specific mechanical problems within the joint. In addition, instability or injury in the hip or ankle can cause knee pain, as the entire leg is one connected system.
Physical therapy is often a key component of treatment for knee pain, aiming to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance overall joint health. We offer a wide range of treatments that will be tailored to your specific needs.

What & How We Treat
Assessment and Diagnosis
Our therapists begin with a comprehensive examination to determine the exact cause of your knee pain. This includes assessing joint stability, strength, and range of motion.
Strengthening Exercises
We prescribe targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calf to improve joint support.
Range of Motion Exercises
These are gentle exercises designed to improve mobility and flexibility in the knee joint – while also reducing stiffness.
Balance and Proprioception Training
We prescribe exercises to improve balance and proprioception (awareness of body position) – while also increasing joint stability and reducing risk of further injuries and falls.
Manual Therapy
Our physical therapists utilize techniques including massage, joint mobilization, and manipulation, which improves joint mobility and reduces muscle tension.
Functional Training
We incorporate specific exercises that mimic daily activities. This helps to enhance the functional capacity of your knee and also improves overall movement patterns.
Gait Analysis and Correction
Our therapists analyze and correct walking or running patterns (gait) to reduce stress on the knee joint and ensure proper biomechanics.
