Knee Pain Treatment in Stillwater, MN.
Most knee pain is not a knee problem. It is a hip and ankle problem showing up at the knee. Treating the system, not just the joint, is what gets people back to running, hiking, climbing stairs, and squatting without pain.
What knee pain is.
Knee pain can come from a specific injury (a fall, a twist, a torn meniscus) or build over time from how the body loads. Common diagnoses include runner's knee (patellofemoral pain), IT band syndrome, meniscus injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery from ACL or knee replacement. In nearly every case, what the hip and ankle are doing matters as much as what the knee is doing.
When to seek physical therapy.
- • Runner's knee or pain with running
- • Pain going up or down stairs
- • Pain with squatting or kneeling
- • Swelling that keeps coming back
- • Post-surgical knee recovery (ACL, meniscus, knee replacement)
- • Knee pain related to arthritis
- • Recurring strains that keep coming back
How physical therapy helps.
A full movement assessment from the foot to the hip. We identify how the knee is loading and what is creating the pain. Treatment includes hands-on manual therapy, strength work targeted to the hip and core, movement retraining, and progressive return-to-activity programming. Most clients see meaningful change in 4 to 8 visits.
