Knee pain is a common issue that affects people of all ages, whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone simply trying to get through your day without discomfort. At ProMotion Rehab and Sports Medicine, we understand how debilitating knee pain can be, and we’re here to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and get back to doing the activities you love.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain can result from various conditions and injuries, including:
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can lead to chronic pain and stiffness in the knee joint.
- Injuries: Ligament sprains, meniscus tears, or fractures often cause acute knee pain.
- Overuse: Repetitive stress from running, cycling, or other activities can result in conditions like patellar tendinitis or iliotibial band syndrome.
- Post-Surgery Recovery: After procedures such as ACL reconstruction or total knee replacement, physical therapy is essential for restoring function and strength.
How Physical Therapy Can Help
Physical therapy is a proven, non-invasive approach to managing knee pain and improving joint function. At ProMotion Rehab and Sports Medicine, our licensed therapists will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:

Our therapists use hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain. This can include massage, joint mobilizations, and other manual interventions.

We incorporate modalities like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and ice/heat therapy to manage pain and inflammation effectively.
