Whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, an injury can keep you from the activities you enjoy. At Knox Physical Therapy, we assess your injury, health history, fitness level, and lifestyle to create a plan designed to help reduce pain, restore movement, and get you back in the game as safely and efficiently as possible.
Medial tibial stress syndrome causes pain along the shinbone and surrounding connective tissues. Proper footwear, warm-ups, and stronger core and leg muscles can help address contributing factors.
A strain occurs when the tendon connecting muscle to bone is stretched beyond its limits. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility and strength to support a confident return to activity.
Sprains happen when a ligament is stretched beyond its limits. Guided recovery can help improve stability, balance, and coordination after an ankle, foot, or other joint sprain.
The knee is a complex joint and a commonly injured area. Symptoms may range from a dull ache between the hip and knee to repetitive-use pain or more serious injuries such as an ACL tear.
Runners and athletes may experience plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, metatarsalgia, stress fractures, or foot sprains from repetitive stress and high-impact activity.
Shoulder injuries can interrupt throwing, lifting, and overhead activity. A patient shared that his son returned to baseball in about three weeks after a shoulder injury with care from Lee.
Your physical therapist begins with a diagnostic exam and review of available diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound. Your individualized plan may include manual therapy to improve range of motion and reduce scar tissue, stretches to improve mobility and balance, strengthening for the injured and surrounding areas, and proprioception training to improve coordination and help reduce the risk of reinjury.
