Knee Pain Relief in New York City

Knee pain can interfere with walking, climbing stairs, playing sports, or even simple daily tasks. At Dynamic Physical Therapy NYC, our licensed physical therapists provide evidence based care to relieve knee pain, restore mobility, and help patients across New York return to active, pain free living.

What can I do about knee pain?

Knee pain can develop from sudden injury, overuse, or chronic conditions. Sports injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, meniscus tears from twisting, or dislocated kneecaps are common. Other causes include arthritis, bursitis, tendon injuries, and even alignment problems stemming from the hip or foot.

Our highly trained therapists evaluate your knees carefully, looking at pain location, severity, and movement restrictions. Physical therapy for knee pain typically includes strength building exercises, flexibility training, and hands on techniques to restore natural motion and reduce strain.

What causes knee pain?

The knee is a large hinge joint supported by a complex system of bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Because of this, it is prone to injury and overuse. Common causes of knee pain include:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Fractures or dislocation
  • Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL tears)
  • Meniscus tears
  • Tendonitis or bursitis
  • Patellar tracking problems or kneecap dislocation
  • Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

How long should knee pain last?

Some minor knee pain may improve with rest, but persistent pain should not be ignored. Continuing activity through sharp or lingering pain can worsen the injury. If knee pain lasts more than a few days or continues for several weeks, especially if it persists beyond three months, it is important to consult a physical therapist. Chronic knee pain often signals an underlying issue that requires professional care.

Is walking good for knee pain?

Walking can sometimes help maintain mobility and circulation, but it depends on the cause of pain. For some patients, walking may ease stiffness, while for others it may worsen irritation. At Dynamic Physical Therapy NYC, your therapist will guide you on when walking is safe and prescribe targeted therapeutic exercises to support healing without further injury.

What is the best therapy for knee pain?

Our licensed physical therapists in New York create individualized plans to relieve pain and restore function. A typical treatment plan may include:

  • Manual therapy to ease joint stiffness and improve motion
  • Strengthening exercises for quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, and core
  • Flexibility and range of motion restoration
  • Activity modification and graded exposure to movement
  • Balance and gait training to correct movement patterns
  • Patient education for long term self management
