Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
Our knee protocols incorporate targeted exercises for muscle balance (quads, hamstrings, hip stabilizers), manual therapy for joint mobility, and activity modifications to minimize excessive stress. We emphasize proper movement patterns to prevent re-injury. At Be On The Move in Palm Beach County, we see patients ranging from athletes recovering from meniscus or ligament problems to individuals coping with everyday knee pain climbing stairs. Initially, we focus on controlling swelling and pain, often through gentle range-of-motion exercises and soft tissue techniques. Once the knee is stable, we progress to dynamic exercises—like step-downs, mini-squats, or single-leg balance tasks—to reinforce proper alignment and strengthen the surrounding musculature. This systematic approach helps you safely return to sports, work, or daily routines.

Key Benefits:
Many patients experience improvements in pain and function within 4–6 weeks. Chronic or severe injuries could take longer, especially post-surgery. Our therapists closely monitor your knee’s range of motion, swelling levels, and strength benchmarks, adjusting your program as you progress. By the end of your rehab, you can expect to climb stairs, bend, or even run with minimal discomfort—provided you stick to your home exercises and take any recommended precautions.
Will I need an MRI?
Sometimes. If we suspect a structural issue like a meniscus or ligament tear, imaging can guide our approach or confirm surgical need.
Can knee pain be related to my hips or ankles?
Yes, biomechanical issues up or down the chain can contribute to knee stress. We evaluate the entire lower extremity.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
