You're a little snookered without two good, working knees, right? (Unless you sit or lie down all day). But if you want to go to work, run, walk, disco dance, and enjoy life, it goes without saying that you need your knees to be healthy, strong, and pain-free.
Our knees support us in everything we do. That’s why they're so susceptible to damage and why we treat so many patients with sore knees at Focus Physical Therapy. Every twist, turn, sporting collision, or sidewalk-pounding impact takes its toll on our knees. Luckily, our knees are built for this – stretching, extending, bending, pivoting, quietly taking the hit, and cushioning the impact.
But when we take them for granted and overuse them. Suffer sporting injuries, or run into chain issues in the body (like foot or heel issues). Our knees begin to show signs of wear and tear and alert us through pain signals – their version of a warning light - that everything is NOT ok under the hood.
Has one of your knees switched on the warning light?
We know how miserable it is to have painful knees – and how it limits what you can do. Hiking the Rock Bridge Trail, playing sports, or summer beach days are all off the table because you're in so much pain. But, unfortunately, it just won't let up – no matter what you do.
Every step has you clutching your knees and looking for the nearest seat.
Sometimes, it feels like your knee will give way altogether – or it pops, cracks, or grinds every time you move it. Your pain could be a dull ache right through the center or pain in a specific area – such as pain in the back of the knee or down one side into your calf muscle. Perhaps you can't put your finger on what is wrong or where the pain is coming from, but it feels weak and "not quite right."
Don’t worry. You’re not alone. KNEE PAIN is one of the most common pain problems we see at Focus Physical Therapy. But, things can only (and will) get better. We help patients just like you beat knee pain all the time.
All these patients ask us the same questions:
“Why Me?”...
“Why Do I Still Have Knee Pain After 6 Months?”...
or
“Why Hasn’t It Gone Away?”
We get it. It’s tempting to ignore Knee Pain and hope and pray it'll go away. But guess what? It rarely does. It gets much, much worse most of the time – to the point where you eventually need surgery or a total knee replacement because the daily pain gets so bad. In our experience, the sooner you treat knee pain, the better.
Have you had Knee Pain for seven days or more?
You've probably already seen a medical doctor if you answered yes to this question. Right? But they sent you away with a prescription for Advil, rest, and more days off work, along with a half-hearted invitation to come back and see them if things don’t improve.
In fact, you’ve probably already been back to see your MD because you’re STILL in pain, and they gave you an even stronger prescription for pain pills and more unhelpful advice to rest and take it easy. Except you can't take it easy because your knees hurt, and you want your life back – the life you loved before the pain started.
Does that sound about right?
As Physical Therapists who successfully treat Knee Pain every day, we find this scenario incredibly frustrating. We know that you don't have to waste your life in pain –popping pain pills to get through the day - suffering the negative health consequences. There is so much more we can do. Don’t wait. This advice is counter-productive and can lead to more severe problems further down the line.
But Why Am I Still in Pain?
There are so many potential reasons why your knee pain is lasting so long. But the most important thing we want to say is don't look to the internet or your friends and relatives for a diagnosis. So many people online and in our social circles like to offer unsolicited medical advice. But, in most cases, it isn't credible – sometimes even dangerous, and it's usually based on their experience, not your specific set of symptoms and medical history.
You’re probably jumping to conclusions yourself about the source of your Knee Pain – especially if it isn't something obvious like an injury. You're blaming yourself – for that time, you twisted it or felt a twinge and didn’t get it checked out. Or maybe it’s just your age, right?
But the actual cause could be inflamed muscles and ligaments that developed gradually over time due to overuse or because of your sedentary job and tight quadriceps muscles. We help you find the root cause – so you can stop guessing.

I enjoyed the flexibility and hands-on approach [at Focus]. I really appreciated how professional the team was, but more importantly I appreciated how quickly they were able to identify what the issue was and get to work.
Erin

They've given me the ability to exercise and focus on myself and make sure that my body is in the best shape that it can be as far as function and motor goes. It’s probably one of the greatest gifts. Having to operate in pain is not fun and they help take that away.
