The knee is often called the “unfortunate joint between the hip and the ankle”. Pain and instability in the knee can stop almost anyone in their tracks, making walking, stairs, running, box jumps and squats difficult. With conservative treatment, you can get back to the daily grind - in just a hop, skip and a jump.

Knee Pain Got You Sidelined?

There are many causes of knee pain:

1. Sudden change in activity
2. Footwear
3. Poor posture
4. Improper exercise technique
5. Aging
6. Dysfunctional running technique
7. Prior trauma

And that’s to name just a few. Sometimes, you know exactly why you're having the symptoms you're having. And sometimes, it's not clear why you're having knee pain, or what caused it. But it becomes clear - the impact on your life is significant.

Knee pain has a way of sneaking up and sabotaging your life. Suddenly, the simplest of activities in your daily life become challenging: walking to work, navigating stairs, or even just squatting to pick something up. And all of those things that you really enjoy - like running, biking, playing tennis, lifting in the gym, or dancing? They become unimaginable. But it’ll go away, right?

Sound Familiar?

Knee pain can sometimes be easy to ignore, until it's impossible to ignore. We often hear "I’ve just been living with this pain". So, some questions come to mind:

"How long has your pain been going on?"

And...

"What have you done for your pain before now?"

The answers may sound familiar. Many people have been dealing with their knee pain for months and years. Years! And what have they done for it? Most often: Nothing. But it stands to reason: If you do Nothing you'll get Nothing. Maybe the pain "wasn't that bad", or it went away on it's own before - but it's just not going away now.

What Is This Costing You?

For some, it's the fear of not knowing what it will cost to have your knee pain addressed. However, the greater question is - "What is it costing you to NOT fix it?". What is it costing you in lost mobility, extra days off from work, decreased productivity? Is it costing you time away from your family, lost time playing with the kids? Or are you still paying for your gym membership, unable to workout or go to class?

We understand you may be afraid of surgery, or living a life dependent on taking pills. But what if you just took 5 minutes each day to try one of the tips in our free guide - No More Knee Pain? What if one exercise made you feel 10% better? What if you could meet with a Doctor of Physical Therapy and get some questions answered?
