Knee Pain Physical Therapy in Manhattan
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain is not one problem. It can come from arthritis, a torn meniscus (the cartilage cushion inside the knee), an ACL injury, a strained ligament, or an ache that builds slowly with no clear injury at all.
Often the knee is where you feel it, but weak hips, tight muscles or the way you move are part of the story. That is why a knee that has been treated alone can keep flaring up. Your first visit is a hands-on assessment to find what is behind your pain and what is holding you back, so your plan treats the cause.
Knee Pain Treatment Options
Your plan is built from the pieces your knee needs, which can include:
- Hands-on techniques and mobility exercises to ease pain
- Strength work for the muscles that support your knee
- Flexibility and range-of-motion training to loosen stiffness
- Balance and body awareness training to help prevent re-injury
- Practice with everyday movements like stairs, squats and getting up from a chair
We favor active work over passive treatments. Your therapist may use hands-on techniques to ease pain, but most of the time goes into exercise, because a stronger, better-moving knee is what keeps pain from coming back.
Knee Physical Therapy Around Your Manhattan Day
Exercises get harder as your knee gets stronger, and your therapist checks your progress at every visit to make sure the plan is still the right one. Your program lives in the PhysioRX app, which comes with every plan, so the days between visits still count.
No referral is required to start. Sessions can be in person at our clinic, which is open until 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturday mornings, or online through the PhysioRX app on days you cannot make it to 14th Street.
