Physical therapy for knee pain, ligament injuries, and post-surgical knee rehab in Burlington, NC
Whether your knee hurts going down stairs, after a run, when you kneel, or ever since a surgery, knee pain is almost always a movement problem as much as a knee problem. We look at how your hips, knees, ankles, and feet work together and build a plan to reduce pain, restore strength, and get you back to the activities you care about.
Common conditions we treat
- Patellofemoral (anterior knee) pain and runner's knee
- Patellar and quadriceps tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
- Meniscus injuries
- ACL, MCL, and other ligament sprains
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy, total knee replacement)
- IT band syndrome
How we help
- A thorough one-hour evaluation to find the true source of your pain — not just where it hurts
- Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and soft-tissue work to reduce pain and restore motion
- Individualized strength and mobility programming you can do at home or in the gym (delivered through the Physitrack app)
- Education on posture, movement habits, and activity modification so you stay better once you are better
- Clear return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-golf progressions
- Blood flow restriction (BFR) training to rebuild strength safely when the knee cannot tolerate heavy loading yet
What to expect
We begin with a one-hour evaluation of your knee and the joints above and below it, then start treatment the same day. Your program is built around your goals — whether that is walking without pain, returning to running, or getting back on the course — and is progressed each visit.
