Knee Pain

Move With Ease By Relieving That Knee Pain – Your Questions About Knee Pain, Answered

Do your knees feel painful, stiff, or even weak that they may buckle underneath you without warning?

Knee pain can be a big downer, especially when it’s keeping you from being on the playing field or the dance stage. If you’re experiencing knee pain, physiotherapy, athletic therapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy care can help get to the root of your problem safely and comfortably. So book an appointment with Leaps and Bounds: Performance Rehabilitation to relieve your knee pain and spare you the need for potentially harmful medication or surgical correction.

How will physiotherapy, athletic therapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy care help me with my knee pain?

The physiotherapy, athletic therapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy treatments at Leaps and Bounds: Performance Rehabilitation can help greatly reduce your knee pain and make it stronger. Our Oakville, ON physiotherapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists will examine your knee to get to the root of the problem.  In some cases, problems at your back, hip, or ankle can be causing pain in your knees.  Alternatively, structural damage in your knee or other tissue sensitivity may be contributors to knee pain. In most cases, our physiotherapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists can relieve your pain altogether, sparing you the need for potentially harmful medication or surgical correction.

During your physical exam, your therapist will move your back and hip, assess your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion, and check for structural damage using special orthopedic tests. Once complete, your physiotherapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists will prescribe a plan for you that will focus on quick pain relief and other symptom modification through the application of one or more of specific movements, manual techniques, therapeutic modalities like acupuncture, and advice specific to your case. Afterward, recovery of function becomes important, and it will involve your physiotherapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists expanding your treatment plan to include strengthening of your knee. These exercises may vary depending on your condition; for example, research has demonstrated that those suffering from patellofemoral stress syndrome (kneecap pain) tend to respond better to exercises that focus on strengthening both the hips and knees, rather than just focusing on the knees alone. Ultimately, you will start doing some activity-specific or sport-specific exercises before transitioning into a gradual (re-) exposure to your activity or sport until you are participating fully again.

What should I know about my knee pain?

Your knee is a hinge joint, confined to forward-and-backward motions. Individually, your knees support more weight than the hips, 6 times your body weight when doing a squat.

Proper movement of both your hips and knees allows complicated motions giving you the ability to stand, walk, run, and dance without falling over.

In a large proportion of people with knee pain (approximately 25%), the lower back may be the source of origin, and it should be screened first.  Once the spine is cleared, your therapist will rule in or out typical conditions to the joint, like arthritis or degenerative joint disease and meniscal tears, or soft tissues surrounding the joint, like patella tendinitis, iliotibial band friction syndrome, or muscle strains.

So, what’s causing my knee pain?

Pain felt in the knees may originate in the joint itself, or it may also be a result of an underlying condition in another part of the body. For example, your lower back, hips, knees, and ankles are part of the same kinetic chain, meaning they make up a combination of weight-bearing joints that must function together in harmony in order for your body to function properly. Therefore, a problem with your back, hip, or ankle joint may transmit abnormal forces to your knees, and vice versa. If one part of the kinetic chain is out of balance, stress or strain may be placed on another.

Finding myself in pain, I was recommended to Pat of Leaps and Bounds. Turns out I had some minor tears in my quad muscle. After 3 sessions (and the assigned exercises), the pain had left and my running dramatically improved.

They did a great job addressing and alleviating my concerns with my knee. The knee wasn’t as bad as I initially thought and they gave me some good exercises that I could continue using at home after all the necessary sessions were complete.

I have been seeing Pat on and off for various ankle, knee and hamstring injuries over the past few years. Pat is always available to assess my concerns.

Pat is one of the best physiotherapist you can go to. I went to my first initial assessment as my knee felt unstable from performing at an athletic capacity. He told me I had a torn ligament in my knee. After getting an MRI it showed I had a complete ACL tear as Pat had mentioned. After getting surgery and…

Excellent service and treatment from Leaps and Bounds. Prabhav was able to diagnose my knee issue and set me up with a plan to treat it.
