If you’re living with bad knees, that are painful or achy, then it is very easy to think that it’s “just something that comes with your age”, it is a bit of “wear and tear”, or that it’s nothing and it will just go away on its own.

You can’t quite put your finger on why you’re feeling pain in your knees – but it does not seem to be getting any better!

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – we hear this type of thing all the time. The simple fact is that knee pain is one of the most common problems that we see in our clinics.

And when it comes to living with this knee pain, everybody we see wants to know the answers to these simple questions:

“Why is This Happening to Me?”…

or,

“Why am I still suffering after months of the same knee pain?”

Most people think that when they get knee pain, it will eventually “ease off” and go away on its own. Or that they will wake up one morning and this elusive knee pain will have magically disappeared… knee pain will be a thing of the past… But then 6 months later you are still living with the discomfort of knee pain.  And it is often even worse than it was when it first came on.

Does This Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see frequently in our clinic relates to when people go to their doctor, and the well-meaning doctor tells them to “rest”, “try these pain meds” and/or “come back in 6 weeks if it’s not better”.  And then 6 weeks go by, but they end up going back to the same doctor again because it has not got any better. The only thing is this… they often give you ANOTHER prescription of even stronger pills, and maybe a knee support. We can do better than this!

Has This Ever Happened To You?

Maybe you are confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. Maybe you think you have to rest because you’ve been told walking makes knee pain worse, or that you should be doing ‘this exercise’ and ‘that exercise’ to make it better.

It can very confusing to know exactly what to do first when you have so many options.  And when face with uncertainty of what will work, you will do what most people do… Which is do nothing!  And that’s just to avoid making your knee pain worse!

And because of this confusion, people tend to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their knee pain.  This happens because they fear making the wrong decision (perhaps again).  And what is even worse is that many people just end up just accepting it as “part of life”.  It is not normal and does not have to be that way.

Is This How You Feel Too?

If any of these have happened to you, then we would love to help you by inviting you to speak to one of our physical therapy experts at our clinic to find out what can be done to help you.

The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work and you are closer to finding the few thing that does.

Before we go on to show you how we can help, let us first make it abundantly clear we’re NOT like other Physical Therapists out there and that includes the ones in the typical hospital systems and doctor owned facilities. We’d like to distance ourselves from them immediately and you should know upfront, that our advice is NOTHING like the advice given out by them or your Primary Care Physician – quite simply because we’re Specialists in Private Outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapy and we’ve been working with and HELPING people, especially those age 50+, to recover from knee pain fast, on a DAILY basis, for over ten years in the Jacksonville area and career long, over 30 years.

Rest assured…Everything we do IS personalized, specific AND specialized. That’s the kind of care that works BEST and what most people are hoping to find when they come to this page. We have plenty of TIME for you too. Ours is NOT like any GP’s or surgeons visit where you will feel rushed, never having chance to ask questions or leave feeling as though you weren’t fully understood. Your health and concerns are important to us and we do want to hear all about them.

Best, our goal is to help you recover from knee pain and get active again QUICKLY and NATURALLY. That means any solution that we provide, will NOT include a prescription for harmful painkillers or medication that in the end, do more harm than good because they are NEVER able to get close to the root cause of your knee pain.

Knee pain can be VERY life limiting, not to mention frustrating and the longer it is left untreated appropriately, the harder and more time it takes to resolve. And No!…It’s NOT your age and you DON’T just have to accept it like some Physicians seem to think you do.

Well, here’s 4 things you can do:

1. First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people rest for weeks, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or the pain and swelling gets worse
2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things to help you ease your Knee pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quick – and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.
3. Avoid sitting in awkward positions – the truth is, you and I were not designed to sit. When you sit and bend your knees, you’re putting your knees in awkward, unnatural positions – which knees aren’t built to be in for too long. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
4. Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with Knee pain. And it’s one of the most common issues we see people aged 50+ living with. If your Knee pain is affecting your job, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – Physical Therapy can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.

Have you been told you have any of the following conditions?

DO NOT BE A VICTIM OF YOUR DIAGNOSIS!! You certainly may have one of these conditions, but it doesn’t mean that it is the source of your pain. It also does not mean that you need expensive imaging to confirm this condition. In fact, MANY people have similar issues, but have little to NO PAIN and function actively without limitations. Let us determine the root cause of your pain.
