Knee Pain Treatment
Knee Pain Treatment
Knee pain can come from arthritis, ligament or meniscus injuries, overuse, or the aftermath of surgery. It often shows up as stiffness, swelling, or difficulty with stairs, kneeling, or walking distances. At Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn, we build a plan around your knee's specific limitations, working to ease pain and restore the strength and motion needed for daily activity.
How We Approach Knee Pain
- Assessment — we evaluate motion, strength, swelling, and movement patterns to understand what is driving your knee pain.
- Manual Therapy — hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce muscle tightness around the knee.
- Exercise Therapy — targeted strengthening and flexibility work to support the joint and improve function.
- Balance Training — exercises that improve stability and reduce strain on the knee during walking and standing.
Tools We Use
- Stationary Bikes — low-impact cycling to rebuild knee motion and leg endurance.
- Resistance Bands and Dumbbells — graded strengthening for the muscles that support the knee.
- Balance Pads and Balance Boards — controlled instability work to retrain stability around the joint.
- Cold Laser Therapy and Electrical Stimulation Units — non-invasive options to help manage pain and inflammation.
- Heat Packs and Cold Packs — used before and after sessions to prepare tissue and calm soreness.
Whether your knee pain follows an injury, surgery, or gradual wear, our team works with you to build a plan aimed at reducing pain and getting you moving comfortably again.
