You don't always need to know exactly what is causing your pain before starting physical therapy. Our evaluation is designed to identify the factors contributing to your symptoms and develop an individualized treatment plan.
How Physical Therapy Can Help Knee Pain
Effective knee rehabilitation involves more than simply treating the painful area.
At Fortified Physical Therapy, we evaluate how your knee moves and how your entire lower body functions. We may look at your knee mobility, strength, balance, walking mechanics, hip and ankle function, movement patterns, and the demands placed on your knee during daily activities or exercise.
Your treatment may include:
Pain Reduction
We use appropriate hands-on techniques, therapeutic exercise, and other treatment strategies to help decrease pain and irritation.
Restoring Mobility
Limited knee or surrounding joint mobility can affect how your knee functions. Treatment can help restore the movement necessary for normal activities.
Building Strength
Weakness in the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and other supporting muscles can contribute to knee problems. A progressive strengthening program helps improve your knee's ability to tolerate everyday and higher-level activities.
Improving Balance & Stability
Good knee function depends on more than strength. Balance, coordination, and neuromuscular control are important for walking, stairs, sports, and reducing the risk of future injury.
Improving Movement Mechanics
We identify movement patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms and teach you how to move more efficiently.
Returning to the Activities You Enjoy
Our goal isn't simply to make your knee feel better in the clinic. It's to help you return to the activities that matter to you, whether that's walking around the neighborhood, working, exercising, playing sports, or keeping up with your family.
Don't Let Knee Pain Limit Your Life
Knee pain doesn't have to dictate what you can and cannot do.
Whether you're dealing with arthritis, recovering from an injury, preparing for surgery, or trying to get back to exercise, the right rehabilitation program can help you build confidence in your knee and get back to moving.
Fortified Physical Therapy is here to help you move stronger.

Our goal isn't simply to make your knee hurt less. We work to address the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms by improving strength, mobility, balance, movement quality, and your ability to tolerate the activities you need and enjoy.
