Runner’s knee can make every step and stair a problem. We treat the hips, knee, and foot together to take the load off the knee.
Common Signs
Aching around or behind the kneecap, pain with running, stairs, squatting, or long sitting, and sometimes clicking or stiffness.
What Can Cause It
Weak hips and quads, tight surrounding muscles, running mechanics, sudden increases in mileage, and foot or ankle mechanics.
How We Treat It
We start with a thorough assessment of how you move. Your plan may include manual therapy, dry needling, manual therapy massage, and strengthening exercises for the hips and legs. Then we build the strength and mobility that help keep the problem from returning.
Who We Help
Runners, cyclists, and active adults with knee pain.
