Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common condition that can occur due to a variety of reasons such as arthritis, tendinitis, ligament injuries, and meniscus tears. It can cause discomfort, stiffness, and difficulty in walking or engaging in physical activities. Knee pain can be a frustrating and limiting condition, affecting everything from daily activities to sports performance.
Fortunately, physical therapy can be an effective way to manage knee pain. By identifying the root cause of the pain, physical therapists can develop a customized treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of each individual. Through strengthening exercises, mobility tactics, and functional training, patients can improve their body’s support of the knee joint, while manual therapy techniques like massage and joint mobilization can help reduce inflammation and pain. Physical therapy can also help prevent future injuries by improving overall body mechanics and teaching patients proper techniques for stretching and exercise. Additionally, physical therapy can be a safer and more effective alternative to surgery for many knee conditions, helping patients avoid the risks and long recovery times associated with surgical procedures.
In addition, performance therapy is a specialized approach to physical therapy that can help individuals with knee pain to improve their athletic performance. Performance therapy focuses on the specific needs of athletes and active individuals. In addition to exercise and manual therapy, performance therapy may also involve the use of advanced technologies such as video analysis, motion sensors, and performance testing to assess and improve knee mechanics and enhance overall athletic performance.
Overall, physical therapy (performance therapy included) is a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to manage knee pain in athletes and active individuals, helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve their overall athletic performance. Performance therapy is an ideal solution for individuals who want to get back to their sport or activity at the highest level possible while minimizing the risk of future injuries.
