Do You Want to Relieve Your Knee Pain?

If you’re living with bad knees, they’re painful going up and down the stairs, or they ache after a workout (or even a long walk) -- it’s very easy to think that it’s “just something that comes with age”, it’s a bit of “wear and tear”, or that it’s nothing and it’ll go away on its own, or worse "I guess that I have to stop playing my sport, working out, or going on my long walk".

​

You can’t quite put your finger on why you’re feeling pain in your knees -- but it just 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 in our Physical Therapy office in Valley Cottage.

​

And 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 putting up with it for 6 months (sometimes more)?”...

​

Most people think that when they get Knee Pain, it’ll eventually “ease off” and go away on its own.  That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, the Knee Pain will be a thing of the past... But then 6 months later you’re still living with the discomfort of knee pain - often much worse than it was when it came on.

​

Does That Sound Like You?

 

Another scenario we see all the time in our physical therapy office is when people go to their Doctors, and the well-meaning Doctor tells them to “rest”, “try these painkillers”, and “come back in 6 weeks if it’s no better” -- but then 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the same Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better, only to be given ANOTHER prescription of even stronger pills, "try" a gel injection, or maybe a knee support.

 

Has That Ever Happened To You?

 

Maybe you are confused because you’ve been told a bunch different things, by a bunch of 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’s very confusing to know exactly what to do - and that’s just to avoid making knee pain worse!

​

And because of this confusion - this often leads people to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their Knee Pain.  Worse, many people just end up accepting it as “part of life” - as if it’s normal or as if it “has” to be that way.

​

Is This How You Feel Too?

​

If You’re Currently Living With Knee Pain, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

​

  1. You thought it would just go away on it’s own - but it didn’t​

  2. You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers - but the pills did nothing to help, all they did was ‘mask’ the pain - and as soon as they wore off, the Knee Pain stopped you from your workouts, sports and activities you love again

  3. A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets Knee pain as they get older, so you just accepted it

  4. You tried to get help from other Healthcare Professionals or a Physical Therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help

  5. You’ve tried using things like Knee supports, but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain any better

  6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you experienced severe pain and swelling in your knees, but it still irritates you DAILY

  7. You tried a few exercises from ‘Youtube’/Google - but they felt painful when you did them, and did nothing to help with the pain

 

If any of these have happened to you - we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our Physical Therapists at our Valley Cottage, NY office 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 -- you are closer to finding the thing that does!

“What Can I Do To Get Rid Of MY Knee Pain Quickly?”...

 

Well, here's 4 things you can do:

​

  1. First, 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 has 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 correct series of individually designed and progressed exercises - the right exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to get back to your work outs, sports, and activities you love with minimal downtime -- and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.

  3. Avoid sitting in too long (especially with your legs crossed) - 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, un-natural 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 back to your activities and healthy as quickly as possible.

  4. Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy -- Physical Therapy is proven to help people with Knee pain. In fact at Empire Sports Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, it’s one of the most common issues we see.  If your Knee pain is affecting your job, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your health 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.
