KNEE PAIN
Is Knee Pain Keeping You On The Sidelines? One of our qualified therapists can help
Do you ever worry that your knees will “give out” when you are doing activity or simply standing? Do you turn down an invitation from a friend or family member because you are afraid your knee pain will ruin the experience? If this sounds like you, you have found the right place.
Knee pain and/or discomfort can be extremely debilitating and can limit you from doing your daily activities and even more so the things you enjoy.
Fortunately, not all knee issues can result in a total loss of function and may require a simple solution to help remedy the issue and return you to function.
Your knee is a rather simple joint that moves in only two directions relative to your body, forward into extension and backwards into flexion. The knee is a fairly strong joint that is kept stable by a number of very strong ligaments and surrounded by some of the strongest muscles in the body. Did you know that your knees must sustain six times your body weight to squat? If your knee is working properly, it can allow you to many activities and sports. Here at Revolve Physiotherapy we can help you!
Common Causes of Knee Pain:
Fractures due to trauma or accidents
Ligamentous sprains and tears (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL are the major ligaments in the knee)
Meniscus tear, damage to cartilage
Knee bursitis-extra liquid in the joint
Patellar tracking issues or tendinopathies
Recovery from knee surgery
Knee pain does not have to keep you from doing what you enjoy. Seeing one of our registered physiotherapists for a thorough evaluation of your condition is the best way to determine the true cause of your knee pain. Your therapist may assess your knees for evidence of misalignment or structural damage, as well as evaluate your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion during your first appointment.
Based on your assessment, we will create a personalized treatment plan to address your condition and may include manual therapy and exercises to help increase strength, mobility, or perhaps remove unnatural tension and strain on your knees. Educational information may also be provided to help prevent recurrence of the injury.
If you are physically active or practice a sport, you may need exercises to correct movement patterns that may be affecting your knees and to establish good technique during your sport or activity. Exercises to improve your flexibility and balance also are important.
