Knee Pain
Knee pain can make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, squatting, running, or exercising uncomfortable and frustrating. At Somatic Physical Therapy, we help identify what’s contributing to your knee pain and create a personalized treatment plan to get you moving confidently again.
Why Knee Pain Occurs
Knee pain can develop from an injury, overuse, or changes in the way your body moves. Common causes include:
- Sprains and strains
- Meniscus injuries
- ACL, MCL, or other ligament injuries
- Patellofemoral pain
- Tendon irritation
- Arthritis and degenerative changes
- Running or exercise-related overuse
- Muscle weakness or imbalances
- Hip, ankle, or foot movement problems
Because the knee works as part of a larger movement system, problems in the hip, ankle, or surrounding muscles can also contribute to knee pain.
Personalized Knee Pain Treatment
At Somatic Physical Therapy, we begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms, movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and overall function. This allows us to identify factors contributing to your pain and develop a treatment plan based on your specific goals.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Manual therapy: Hands-on treatment to improve mobility and reduce pain.
- Therapeutic exercise: Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises to improve support and control around the knee.
- Movement and gait analysis: Evaluating how you walk, squat, run, and move to identify contributing factors.
- Dry needling: Targeted treatment to reduce muscle tension and improve movement.
- Redcord suspension therapy: Neuromuscular training to improve strength, stability, and movement control.
- Activity modification: Guidance to help you stay active while reducing unnecessary stress on the knee.
