Knee Injuries
Comprehensive Care for Knee Pain and Injuries
The knee is one of the body's largest and hardest-working joints, supporting you through walking, climbing stairs, running, and sports. Because it bears significant weight and repetitive stress, the knee is especially susceptible to injury and wear over time. Physical therapy can help relieve pain, restore mobility, improve strength, and get you back to the activities you enjoy.

- ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL injuries
- Meniscus tears
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee)
- Patellar and quadriceps tendinitis
