TAILORED TREATMENT PLANS FOR YOU
Manual Therapy Alex’s treatment started with manual therapy. His therapists used hands- on techniques to free up restrictions and tension in the soft tissues around his knee. This approach helped reduce Alex’s pain and increase his range of motion, setting a solid foundation for further therapeutic interventions. Strengthening Exercises Recognizing the importance of muscular support for knee stability, Alex was guided through a series of strengthening exercises focused on building up the muscles around his knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings. These exercises were designed to absorb shock more effectively, reduce the burden on his knee during runs, and prevent future injuries. Motor Control Exercises To address any dysfunctional movement patterns contributing to Alex’s knee pain, the therapists introduced motor control exercises. These exercises aimed to correct his movement patterns, ensuring that he adopted more efficient movement strategies during running and daily activities, thereby reducing strain on his knee. Education and Preventive Strategies Beyond immediate treatment, education played a vital role in Alex’s therapy. He learned the importance of proper footwear, adequate warm-up and cool-down routines, and strategies to gradually increase running distances without overloading the knees.
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY Alex’s dedication to physical therapy paid off as he noticed a significant reduction in knee pain, improved running efficiency, and a newfound awareness of protecting his knees from injury.
