Knee Pain Management

Knee problems are one of the most common orthopedic complaints for people of all ages. When you’re dealing with knee pain, it can be a frustrating and debilitating experience just trying to walk around the house, drive to the store, or spend time with family.
This is true for both acute, sudden knee pain and chronic knee pain that builds over time. If you are struggling with knee problems then it’s time to see a physical therapist.

The most common Knee Pain Causes

Getting to the bottom of what’s bothering your knee is key to creating the best treatment plan for you. In addition to pain, other signs and symptoms can indicate if there’s an issue with the knee, like:

  • Swelling and stiffness
  • Redness and warmth to the touch
  • Weakness or instability
  • Popping or crunching noises
  • Inability to fully straighten the knee

    Whether you need a physical therapist for an ACL tear, or a meniscus tear, we can help. In fact, any physical therapy for chronic knee pain can be addressed at one of our Minneapolis-based physical therapy clinics.

    Treatment for Knee Pain

    When you need to find a physical therapist for knee pain, Our physical therapists, all fully licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy, use a range of techniques to help relieve knee pain and restore mobility

    Manual Therapy

    Joint mobilization
    Gentle movements to improve mobility in areas that are restricted, restoring normal joint mechanics and reducing stiffness.

    Soft tissue mobilization
    Techniques like massage and myofascial release may be used to release tension in muscles, ligaments and fascia focused around the knee.

    Trigger point therapy
    We provide targeted pressure to alleviate muscle tension and improve function.

    Knee Treatment Techniques

    Dry needling/electrical stimulation
    Using needles and electrical impulses to release knotted muscles or trigger points.

    Kinesiotaping
    Kinesiotaping supports and stabilizes muscles and joints using a specialized elastic tape. It’s applied directly to the skin over muscles or joints in specific patterns to provide support without restricting movement.

    Graston Technique
    Therapists use stainless steel instruments to find and work out tight spots and scar tissue in your muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

    Therapeutic Interventions

    Custom Rehab Programs
    We’ll whip up a personalized rehab program to strengthen the muscle supporting the knee, improve your flexibility, and provide more stability.

    Gait Training
    We focus on improving walking mechanics, balance, and coordination.

    Functional Training
    We pay special attention to simulating real-life movements to improve overall function and performance.

    Activity modification and return to sport
    We help you carefully and gradually progress your activity level to reduce the risk of re-injury.

    Custom Orthotics
    Sometimes we recommend shoe inserts for support and alignment.

    I had the pleasure of working with Dr Kalvin,I had tendinitis in my knee and hamstring, after 6wks of P.T my pain level went from a 10 down to a 1. He was absolutely amazing, very informative and patient with me. Thank you so much for taking care of me 💖

    I have gone to many physical therapists over the years and PRO Therapy has been one of the best. I have been here for two separate injuries. They have been able to pinpoint where my symptoms are coming from quickly, explain the issue throughly, and create an effective plan of action. My pain has decreased since coming here! It is a nice, friendly environment, with good conversation.

    Strongly recommend for physical therapy. I saw Dr. Lily for a running-related injury. She was fantastic and helped me recover from my injury and get running again. The facility was very nice, and everyone I interacted with there was great. Thank you!

    Went in for help with my knee as it usually gets tight when I run. We went through a few sessions and honed in on what the problem potentially is. Dr. Kelvyn pointed a few things out that I wouldn't have figured out myself. Since the problem is probably form and/or muscle related it won't be an overnight fix. I get a set of exercises to do each visit that address my areas of weakness. It was good working with Dr. Kelvyn and definitely recommend checking out PRO Therapy

    Excellent Care! Personally Customized Therapy. Over the course of several months I had the privilege of receiving physical therapy from Dr. Lily Anderson, that was tailored to me and my specific ailments. Beyond the arch of progress through the treatment plan, each appointment was customized to my needs and ability of the day. She was able to help me have reduced pain, increased mobility and strength in all my areas of need. This amount of detailed attention was astounding. I felt truly cared for, and am filled with gratitude. Thank you Lily!
