Knee Physical Therapy in Brooklyn
If you have recently suffered a knee injury such as a sprain, strain, tear, knee surgery, a fractured knee, or a broken knee then it may be in your best interest to see a physical therapist to make sure your knee heals properly.
Does Knee Physical Therapy Help?
Knee PT works by incorporating movements, stretches, and exercises that target the knee and supporting tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Knee physical therapy also teaches the patient about different knee rehab techniques that incorporate special stretches, exercises, instrument assisted knee physical therapy, manual physical therapy, soft tissue physical therapy, active release therapy, along with other specialized physical therapy methods that can help with healing your knee properly.
How long until I notice any relief from knee physical therapy?
It all depends on the severity of your current knee issue or knee injury. While knee physical therapy is a good pain management method, physical therapy for knees has also shown drastic improvement in many patients with knee injuries or other knee issues, while others with extreme cases may still need to seek alternative medical treatment.
What is Knee Physical Therapy?
Knee physical therapy utilizes specific modalities, stretches, and exercises that will target the issues causing the knee pain or discomfort, repairing your Knee(s) back to normal functionality. By using special knee physical therapy treatments, our physical therapists in Brooklyn will focus on the following: restoring alignment, range of motion, exercises, stretching, and teaching you how to continue caring for your knees at home. While everyone's case is different, there is no set cure for knee injuries. However, knee physical therapy has successfully proven time and again to be one of the most efficient and effective means of treating common knee injuries.
Why will our physical therapists focus on restoring alignment and stability, range of motion, and strength training?
Alignment & Stability: When you learn about proper form and pay attention to your movements, you will be able to improve stability.
Range of Motion: You won’t be able to completely heal without focusing on restoring your range of motion. My team and I can help you regain mobility in your knee through range of motion related knee physical therapy exercises.
Strength Training: If you’ve had an accident or injury involving your knee you will need to rebuild the strength in those muscles to complete every day activities.

How Does Knee Physical Therapy Help?
How long will knee physical therapy treatments last?
If you decide to work with a knee physical therapist to help correct your knee issues, your entire treatment plan could consist of around 8-20 different knee PT sessions that will each last 60-90 minutes. Once you complete your customized knee physical therapy treatment plan, you will be able to continue to do the prescribed stretches and exercises utilized during your knee PT sessions yet in the comfort of your own home.
Can You Benefit from Knee Physical Therapy?
This method of physical therapy for knees can be beneficial for children as well as adults. Anyone who is suffering from knee pain and irritation that is often associated with a knee injury may benefit from knee physical therapy exercises.
Other Knee Physical Therapy Treatments
Knee physical therapy is an excellent nonsurgical treatment for common knee injuries and knee surgeries. However, depending on the severity of your case, bracing or surgery may be recommended. With bracing, you will wear a brace to stop your knee from twisting any further than it should be. If you have a very severe knee injury then your doctor may recommend a surgery to correct the issue.
Should I consider knee physical therapy?
Chronic Pain: If you or your child has chronic pain they may benefit from physical therapy exercises and manual therapy.
With knee physical therapy the main goal is to prevent your ankle from continuing to decline even more. This noninvasive method has been proven to prevent injury, as well as improve alignment and mobility of the knee and supporting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. If you or someone you care about is suffering from knee pain or an knee injury, then knee physical therapy may be the perfect option.
