Knee Pain Relief with Physical Therapy

The knee absorbs enormous force with every step, so it's especially vulnerable to both sudden injuries and gradual wear. Knee pain can come from the joint itself, the surrounding ligaments, or from mechanical issues higher up in the hip or lower down in the foot.

Our physical therapy approach focuses on restoring strength and proper movement mechanics so the knee is properly supported going forward.

Common Symptoms

  • Swelling around the knee joint
  • Instability or a feeling the knee might give way
  • Pain going up or down stairs
  • Clicking, popping, or catching sensations
  • Stiffness after sitting for a long time
  • Pain with squatting or kneeling

What Can Cause It

  • Auto accidents and direct impact injuries
  • Work injuries from kneeling, lifting, or repetitive strain
  • Ligament sprains, including ACL and MCL injuries
  • Meniscus tears
  • Patellar tracking issues
  • Osteoarthritis of the knee
  • Falls or home accidents
  • Overuse from sports or repetitive activity

If Treated Early

Knee injuries treated early with proper rehabilitation often heal well and regain full function, especially when strengthening starts before the surrounding muscles have a chance to weaken further from disuse.

If Left Untreated

An untreated knee injury can lead to ongoing instability, which increases the risk of re-injury with everyday movement. Muscle weakness around an unrehabilitated knee tends to worsen over time, and altered walking patterns can eventually create pain in the hip or lower back as well.

Common Questions About Knee Pain

Do I need an MRI before starting physical therapy for knee pain?
Not always — many knee conditions can be evaluated clinically, though we'll recommend imaging if your symptoms suggest a more significant structural issue.
Can physical therapy help after a meniscus tear?
Yes, physical therapy is a core part of recovery both before and after any surgical treatment, and many minor tears improve with therapy alone.
Why does my knee hurt more going downstairs than up?
Descending stairs places more load on the front of the knee and the muscles that control deceleration, which is a very common area of weakness.
