Knee Pain

Eliminate Chronic Knee Pain – Free From Injections, Without Painkillers or Worse, SURGERY!

If you have been told you have “bad knees” that are constantly achy or you are living in constant pain – don’t settle for the common thought that “this is just something that comes with age”. Thinking that this is just natural “wear and tear” or it will go away on its own will only lead to more pain and more of the same injections, medications and threats of surgery.

In many instances you may think to yourself – “I can’t quite put my finger on how or when my knee pain began” or WORSE you just accept it and alter your daily activities because of it – Still It Doesn’t Get Any Better.

KNOW THIS – you are not alone. We hear these reports far too often, in fact, knee pain is one of the most common conditions we treat at Universus Physical Therapy.

Living with knee pain affects every aspect of your day – from the minute you wake up, while completing daily errands, and especially at the end of a long day. It is not uncommon to be left wondering the answers to these simple questions:

 

“Why Is This Happening To Me?”…

or

“Why Am I Still Suffering From My Knee Pain For The Last 6 Months That Keeps Getting Worse Despite Pain Medications And Injections.”

 

Most of our patient’s stories began with the belief that their minor knee discomfort would “get better on its own” and go away. STILL, months later they find their pain is worse and it is even affecting other parts of their body – commonly their HIP or LOWER BACK. OR the pain is due to an OVERLOAD on the knee because of an old hip or foot injury!

Does This Sound Like You?

Another scenario we commonly discover at Universus PT is a patient who was referred to by their physician, and the well-meaning doctor recommends “rest” or to “try these painkillers” or “take these anti-inflammatory pills” or to just “come back in 6 weeks if it is not better”. After 4-6 weeks the patient returns, with INCREASED PAIN, and is offered the same interventions – except stronger, more X-rays and MRIs, or injections. WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!

 

Has This Ever Happened To You?

You may find yourself confused by harsh medical terms, conflicting opinions and long lists of medications or varying interventions. Maybe you did take the advice to “rest” and you’ve now put the life you loved behind you – Only to find that resting, or more like doing nothing, only leads to worse knee pain.

It can be very confusing and frustrating to know where to begin. Making the first move could be the hardest but luckily it does not have to be the only move you make. Being in fear of making the wrong decision twice often results in individuals becoming complacent with their initial decision to only rest without taking action. Just accepting this as your new life is UNACCEPTABLE and does not have to be the way.

 

If You Continue To Relate To This And You’re Currently Living With Knee Pain, Here Are 7 Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

  • You thought it would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t.
  • You went to the doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers – but the pills did nothing to help, all they did was ‘mask’ the pain instead of finding out the TRUE ROOT CAUSE of your knee pain.
  • A family member or friend has told you that everybody gets knee pain as they get older, so you just accepted it.
  • You have sought help from other healthcare professionals or a physical therapist IN THE PAST, but nothing they said or did seemed to help.
  • You have tried using knee braces but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain any better.
  • You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you experienced severe pain and swelling in your knees, but it still irritates you daily activities with even small events around the house or at work.
  • You have tried a few exercises from YouTube or Google, and they felt painful when you did them, and did nothing to really ease the knee pain.

If this all sounds too familiar, we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy to see how we can GET BACK THE LIFE YOU LOVE.

Click the button below to book a call with us if you would like to get some sound advice given to you for FREE by one of our Physical Therapy and Movement Experts. The phone call is complementary and there is no obligation to book any appointments with us after the call is over. Our goal is to steer you in the right direction to eliminate your knee pain and return to your normal life.

Before we go on to show you how we can help, let us first make it abundantly clear we’re NOT like any of the other Physical Therapists out there and that includes the ones in the typical large corporate gyms or hospital settings. We’d like to distance ourselves from them immediately and you should know upfront, that our advice is NOTHING like the advice given out by them or any General Practitioner – quite simply because we’re Specialists in a Private Practice, a TOTALLY ONE-ON-ONE Physical Therapy Clinic and we’ve been working with and HELPING people recover from knee pain fast, on a DAILY basis, for more than 15 years.

Rest assured…Everything we do IS personalized, specific AND specialized. That’s the kind of care that works BEST and what our patients longed for before they discovered Universus PT. If time is a concern for you, know that our ONE-ON-ONE setting offers PRIVATE 45 minute sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Our goal is to help you recover from knee pain and get you active again, QUICKLY and HOLISTICALLY. That means any solution that we provide, will NOT include a prescription for harmful painkillers or medication that in the end, do more harm than good because they SIMPLY DO NOT TREAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR PAIN.

As you know, knee pain can be LIFE ALTERING, not to mention frustrating. The longer it is left untreated appropriately, the harder and more time it takes to resolve. And No!…It’s NOT your age and you DON’T just have to accept it.

“What Can I Do Today To Get Rid Of My Knee Pain Quickly?

Here are 4 tips:

 

  • MAKE A DECISION about getting help – So many people rest for weeks, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed or the pain and swelling is worse.
  • Do the RIGHT exercises that are SPECIFIC FOR YOU – Just like not each person is the same, not every KNEE is the same. One of the best things to help you ease your knee pain is to do the right series of progressive exercises – the right exercises given to YOU by a Physical Therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again.
  • Avoid prolonged sitting, especially in awkward positions – The truth is, humans were not designed to sit. When you sit and bend your knees, you’re putting your knees in awkward, unnatural positions – which knees aren’t built to be in for too long. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
  • Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with Knee pain. In fact at Universus Physical Therapy it’s one of the most common issues we see people aged 40+ living with. If your Knee pain is affecting your job, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – UNIVERSUS PHYSICAL THERAPY can help get you back to living the life you love and deserve.

    “I am a yogi and former dancer with a hyper mobile pelvis. Shadan’s expertise is unbelievable. She always helped me recover from my injuries. Always friendly and yet focused on her manipulations and the exercises given to me. She always has been able to see me in as soon as she could when I needed her. Why would one want to go elsewhere?”

    “Shaden is a compassionate skillful physical therapist. Her knowledge of the body, hands on approach and ability to work with and listen to her patients is beyond what I have experienced with PTs in the past. I recommend her often without hesitation.”
