The conventional form of treatment in the medical community today is a steroid injection and rest. Doctor will tell you “come back in 6 weeks if it is not better”. The 6 weeks go by and the pain is now worse, you go back to see the same doctor only to get another injection which will only mask the root cause of your problem.

1. You are most likely confused at this point because you’ve been told different things, by different people. Maybe you’ve been told to “rest” because walking makes it worse or you’ve been told to do “this exercise” or “that exercise” to make it better.
2. There is no direction in your treatment and you are frustrated mentally, physically, causing more stress because nobody is giving you answers to your solution.

1. If you have knee problems, they’re painful or they ache – it’s very easy to think that it’s “just something that comes with exercise”, it’s just “wear and tear”, or that it’s nothing and it’ll go away on its own.

   You can’t quite point your finger on why you’re feeling the pain in your knees – but it doesn’t 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. In fact, knee pain is one of the most common problems that we see at our facilities in Chelsea Manhattan and Williamsburg.

   When it comes to living with knee pain, everybody we see wants to know the answers to these questions:

   “Why is This Happening to Me?”… or, “Why am I still suffering with Knee pain that keeps getting worse after dealing with it for 6 months – sometimes more?”… Most people think that when they have knee pain, it’ll eventually “wear off” and go away on it’s own. That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, knee pain will be gone… But then 6 months later you’re still living with the discomfort – often even worse than it was when it started.

1. 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 dealing 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 correct exercises given to you at the correct time by a Physical Therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again 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 for long periods of time starring at a computer screen or phone. When you sit and bend your knees, you’re putting your knees in awkward, un-natural positions – which knees aren’t built to be in for too long. It would be beneficial if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, combined with hands-on treatment, designed to keep you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
   4. Get real, “hands-on” treatments – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with knee pain. In fact at Fit Club it’s one of the most common issues we see our clients living with. If your knee pain is affecting your job, if it stops you from attending exercise classes, 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 active life you deserve as quickly as possible.

   If you would like to know how the Physical Therapy team at Fit Club (Clinics in Chelsea Manhattan and Williamsburg Brooklyn) can help you live with less knee pain – we invite you to start with a completely free, no-obligation, risk free discovery visit at one of our clinics.

   This Discovery visit is something that we offer to people who are very cautious or sceptical about Physical Therapy; unsure of its benefits or if it is right for them. If that sounds like you, then please start with a discovery session so that we can work with you to find out what is wrong and what can be done – without any financial risk on your part.
