Knee Pain
Our knees support our weight throughout the day and gather a lot of wear and tear throughout our lives. This can lead to problems that range from chronic pain to total knee replacements. Knees are an easily injured body part when exercising or playing a sport as well.
Timberlane Physical Therapy Method:
We are skilled in evaluation and research, which allows us to treat the whole picture, not just the specific pain. Knee pain is often affected by other areas of the lower body, like the hips and feet.
You will work with a therapist one-on-one during your session and learn exercises and skills to manage your pain. This allows you to maintain your healing process between visits and to continue management after your time at Timberlane PT.

Tip for Recovery:
Stay active, learn how to move the proper way, and don’t overstrain your body.
