What to Expect from Knee Pain Physical Therapy

Your recovery begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your movement, strength, flexibility, and pain triggers. From there, we create a customized treatment plan that may include:

  • Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and improve joint mobility

  • Targeted strengthening exercises for quads, hamstrings, hips, and glutes

  • Neuromuscular re-education to improve balance and stability

  • Gait training to correct improper movement patterns

  • Pain management techniques including ice, heat, electrical stimulation, or dry needling

  • Education and home exercise programs to promote lasting relief

Our goal is to treat not just the symptoms—but the root cause of your knee pain.
