Why should I consider physical therapy?

Because your body’s normal response to pain is avoidance and compensation, your knee may never have a chance to fully heal. Improper healing of your knee joint can increase your risk for recurring pain, weakness, and injuries.
Recover more efficiently from a knee injury or surgery with knee-focused physical therapy. At Reflex Knee Specialists, the experienced physical therapy team creates customized treatment plans using exercises, manual manipulation, and other techniques to speed up your healing process. The team can also recommend exercises you can do at home to preserve your long-term knee function and keep you pain-free.

Most people are not aware of the compensatory patterns they have developed in response to pain or a prior injury. The physical therapists at Reflex Knee Specialists are able to detect the parts of your body that are not moving or functioning in a normal manner. The knee is often a victim of weak glutes or hip muscles. It is important that we move in a fluid and symmetric manner. Any asymmetry in movement can lead to injury or dysfunction in a different part of the kinetic chain.
