Common Causes of Knee Pain

The knee takes load from both the hip above and the foot below, so pain can have many sources. Your evaluation tells us which one you are dealing with.

01

Osteoarthritis

What it feels like
A deep ache and stiffness that is worse in the morning or after sitting, sometimes with swelling after a busy day.
How we help
Joint mobilization and strengthening for the thigh and hip muscles that support the knee, plus a plan to keep you active.

02

Patellofemoral pain

What it feels like
Aching around or behind the kneecap that flares with stairs, squats, or sitting with your knees bent for a long time.
How we help
Hip and thigh strengthening, movement retraining, and activity changes that reduce stress on the kneecap.
03

Ligament injuries

What it feels like
A knee that feels loose or unstable after a twist, pivot, or blow, such as an ACL or MCL sprain or tear.
How we help
Rebuilding strength, balance, and control step by step, whether you had surgery or not, with a safe return to sport.

04

Meniscus tears

What it feels like
Pain along the inside or outside of the joint, with catching, locking, or swelling after twisting movements.
How we help
Restoring motion, strengthening around the knee, and teaching you how to move without irritating the joint.
05

Tendon pain

What it feels like
Pain just below or above the kneecap that builds with jumping, running, or climbing stairs.
How we help
Exercises that slowly add load so the tendon gets stronger, plus changes to jumping or running volume while it calms down.
06

Overuse injuries

What it feels like
Pain that shows up after you increase your running, training, or time on your feet, such as IT band pain on the outside of the knee.
How we help
Adjusting your training load, fixing the hip and foot mechanics behind it, and building back up gradually.

Knee Pain FAQ

Still have a question? Call us and a member of our team will help.

When should I have my knee checked?

Book an evaluation if your knee pain lasts more than a few weeks, keeps you from normal activities, or comes with swelling, a feeling of giving way, or trouble putting weight on your leg.

Can I treat knee pain at home first?

Mild knee pain often settles with rest, ice, compression, and elevation for a few days. If it keeps coming back or is not getting better, an evaluation can find the cause so you are not just managing symptoms.

Can physical therapy help me avoid knee surgery?

For many knee problems, conservative care is the first step, and some people do well without surgery. If your knee is not responding the way we expect, or your evaluation points to a problem that needs a surgeon, we will let you know and help you take that next step.

Do you help with rehab after knee surgery?

Yes. We help patients rebuild motion, strength, and confidence after knee surgery, including knee replacement and other orthopedic procedures, and we guide a safe return to walking, work, and sports.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. We accept most major plans, including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, and we verify your benefits before your first visit. Call (908) 282-3737 and we will check your coverage.

What should I wear to my first visit?

Wear shorts or loose pants that roll up above the knee, and bring the shoes you usually walk or train in. Also bring your insurance card and any imaging reports or surgery notes.
