Knee Pain and Instability

Knee pain and instability are common issues that can result from injuries, overuse, arthritis, or muscle imbalances. Instability occurs when the knee feels weak, wobbly, or as though it might "give out," making it difficult to trust the joint during movement. Conditions such as ligament tears, tendinitis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and osteoarthritis can contribute to both knee pain and instability. These symptoms can interfere with daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or exercising, and may increase the risk of further injury.

Physical therapy is a highly effective treatment for knee pain and instability. A physical therapist will assess your specific condition and develop a customized treatment plan to strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve joint stability, and restore mobility. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education on proper movement patterns, physical therapy can alleviate pain, enhance knee stability, and prevent future injuries.
