mong American adults, approximately 25% have experienced knee pain that affects the function of their knee.
However, if you try physical therapy, you can resolve your issues and get back to doing what you love. If you are experiencing stiffness or pain when you bend, kneel or walk, because your knee hurts, then this book is for you! Pain and difficulty moving are symptoms of an underlying joint problem. The vast majority of knee pain is caused by poor joint movement, inflammation or weakness and restrictions in the muscles surrounding the joint. This occurs from injury to the joint, repetitive movements, prolonged positions or degeneration. Too often we focus on the symptoms instead of the root cause of the problem. People turn to over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, and may even think an MRI is the solution. Unfortunately, the result is persistent pain or temporary relief without achieving any long-lasting results.
