For active families—whether you’re a youth athlete striving for that winning goal, a parent trying to keep up with your kids on the soccer field, or a grandparent who loves to take long walks—knee pain can put a damper on your lifestyle. Don’t let discomfort sideline you from the activities you cherish!
Knee pain is a common issue that affects people of all ages and activity levels. It can arise from various causes, including sports injuries, arthritis, overuse, or even accidents. Fortunately, physical therapy is an effective way to relieve pain, improve function, and get you back on your feet—without the need for surgery or long-term medication.
At Active Life, we emphasize an Active Treatment approach. Instead of relying solely on passive treatments like ice or rest, we focus on engaging you in your recovery process. Our comprehensive treatment plans include exercises, manual therapy, and functional training tailored to your specific needs. This proactive participation not only relieves pain but also helps prevent future issues.
Treatment Options for Knee Pain
Stay Active – Don’t Avoid Movement
Keeping your knee moving is crucial for recovery. While it may be tempting to rest or avoid activities that cause discomfort, this can lead to stiffness and further complications. Research shows that controlled movement and targeted exercises are key to speeding up recovery. Our experienced therapists will guide you through safe and effective ways to remain active, helping you regain your strength and confidence.
