MechanoTherapy_Step Your Way to Pain-Free Knees

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP In many cases, physical therapy can help patients quickly recover from an injury and get back to what they love to do. In doing so, they can stretch, flex and strengthen the muscles responsible for support. If a joint appears deformed, or if sudden swelling occurs, contact a physician immediately. A typical physical therapy session will start with a comprehensive evaluation of your entire lower body, looking for the exact source of your problem. Your physical therapist will customize a treatment plan to address areas of stiffness, weakness, tightness, and pain. On every level, physical therapy serves to enhance the patient’s quality of life. We’re here to help, and we have years of experience backing every therapy option.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY SUCCESS STORIES

I became very confident in crossing the finish line of my marathon race.”

“Warren was fantastic in helping me to recover from knee pain caused by running. He figured out the root cause of my problem by evaluating my strength, balance, posture, running forms and running cadence. (That was a great experience!) His knowledge of how the human body works really helped me to understand my training plans, and all the exercises he taught me worked. I couldn’t run even a mile when I first visited. As a result of working with Warren, I became very confident in crossing the finish line of my marathon race. It’s almost a miracle. Warren is such a great person – always friendly, sincere, and honest. ” – T. N.
