Get Back To Movement With Hands-On Knee Therapy
Knee pain can limit your ability to walk, run or even sit comfortably. At Case Physical Therapy, our personalized physical therapy for knee pain helps patients find relief from chronic discomfort, injury or post-surgical recovery.
Whether you’re dealing with pain behind the knee, inner knee pain or pain in the knee joint itself, we tailor every treatment plan to your body and your goals.
Understanding The Knee Joint
The knee is a hinge joint made up of the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone) and patella (kneecap). These bones are supported by ligaments, tendons and cartilage, which allow for bending, straightening and weight-bearing. Given the knee’s central role in daily movement, it’s prone to injury from wear, instability and muscle imbalances.
Common Causes Of Knee Pain
Knee pain can affect people of all ages, especially active adults and those with past injuries. Common causes include:
- Arthritis — Degeneration in the knee joint, often linked to aging
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome — Pain around or behind the kneecap, often due to muscle imbalance and poor tracking of the patella
- Ligament injuries — ACL, MCL or other ligament sprains or tears
- Meniscus tears — Cartilage damage from twisting or heavy loading
- Tendonitis — Inflammation of tendons, often affecting the kneecap or inner knee
- Overuse injuries — Common in runners and athletes
- Post-surgical recovery — Including total knee replacements or arthroscopic procedures
Knee pain may present as:
- Pain behind knee or back of knee pain
- Inner knee pain
- Pain around the kneecap or kneecap instability
- Knee joint stiffness or locking
- Sudden or lingering discomfort with movement

- Gait analysis and retraining — Especially for those with chronic or post-operative pain
