PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR YOUR KNEES
A Holistic Approach to Physical Therapy for Knee Pain & Injuries
IS KNEE THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?
For athletes and runners, your knees are your lifeline. That’s why it’s essential to recover from a knee injury (or prevent one) and understand its cause and full-body implications.
At MOTIVNY, your physical therapists will always take a holistic approach. We assess your body as a whole to treat your current symptoms and prevent further injury to the entire body.
If you’re wondering whether knee physical therapy is right for you, check out some of the most common symptoms we treat:
PAIN
Knee injuries can result in severe pain and swelling that is prolonged, resulting in constant discomfort.
IMMOBILITY
Swelling and stiffness often accompany knee injuries, making walking, running, and living comfortably difficult.
INSTABILITY
Many athletes experience difficulty bearing weight or trusting their knee to hold them due to knee pain.
DISRUPTION
Your day-to-day activities, including working, exercising, and socializing, might be disrupted.
“MotivNY is an excellent group of physical therapists who work with you to help you reach your goals, whether it is strengthening or healing. If you’re a serious athlete and recovering from an injury, there is no better group.”
