Knee Painin Ocean Township and Sea Girt
Whether you’re suffering from chronic knee pain, recovering from surgery, or looking to strengthen your knee, physical therapy is one of the best treatments for long-term relief.
Knee pain impacts most adults at some point in their lifetime. Regardless of its source, physical therapy improves mobility of the knee joint, increases flexibility and strength, and improves the coordination of how the muscles work together.
Common causes of knee pain include:
- Overuse injuries
- Trauma
- Degeneration
How can physical therapy alleviate my knee pain?
Once you notice ongoing pain, don’t hesitate to make an appointment to evaluate your knee. The faster you seek treatment, the sooner you’ll experience relief and prevent worsening of your condition.
The main goal of physical therapy exercises for knee pain is to achieve normal muscle strength, flexibility, and joint mobility. After a knee replacement or a ligament repair, your therapist relies on a variety of treatment plans to restore normal mobility into bending and straightening. When the knee can move through a normal range, you will work to improve joint mobility and work on strengthening and preparing your knee for normal activities without pain.
