Therapy For Knee Pain

Knee pain can be treated effectively with physical therapy interventions.  When movement is restricted and muscle control decreased, proper support of the knee is diminished. Causes of knee pain may include bursitis, patella (kneecap) tendonitis, patellofemoral pain, ligament and meniscus injuries, and trauma to the knee.
