If you’ve injured your knee, either through sports or regular use, you may have experienced a sprain, tear, or damage to the cartilage. This can cause swelling and make it hard to perform simple activities. Sometimes, you may have pain on one side of the knee without swelling. Physical therapy at Pro Motion Rehab can help you reduce the pain, get your knee working again, and strengthen the muscles around it. If your injury is severe, it might be helpful to attend physical therapy two to three times a week for several weeks. The goal is to help you recover quickly and return to normal activities. Our therapists will aim to strengthen the muscles around your knee to protect it while it heals. We also may use heat, ice, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to help you recover. When you first meet with our therapist, they will ask about your medical history, pain tolerance, and goals. It’s important to share any prior injuries you’ve had and what you hope to achieve.
