Our Innovative Approach to treating knee pain

For many people dealing with knee pain, it can be incredibly disruptive to their day-to-day life. Basic activities like using the stairs, bending or squatting, and walking become difficult, uncomfortable tasks. If you are experiencing knee pain, you deserve answers—and a treatment plan that works for you. Whether you are dealing with runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, patellofemoral pain, or post-injury stiffness, our clinic can help. 

 

Our providers at 6:33 Physical Therapy know how to treat knee pain. We work one-on-one with our clients to develop the best physical therapy plan for their lifestyle and long-term goals.

Resting and icing with no relief? 

If you are following the generic advice to use the RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), without relief, it is time to take the next step in your recovery. Our innovative approach to physical therapy means we find and address the root cause of your pain, so you don’t have to experience soreness, aches, and pains in everyday life.

Joe’s Story

Joe came to 6:33 Physical Therapy with knee pain and a goal to get back to running strong. Through personalized PT and consistent strength and mobility work, he’s built a more resilient stride—and completed the Chicago Marathon! 

 

“I had a meniscus injury…[and] started rehabbing with Dr. Alison while I was getting back into a run routine… Dr. Alison helped identify some weaknesses in my hips that resulted in my right leg collapsing inward while running. Thanks to our biweekly sessions and homework I feel much more stabilized. 

 

During our meetings we covered strengthening mobility. She also helped me with the occasional dry needling and suction cup therapy on really tight muscles. I loved the goal setting sessions and the occasional ear to just listen to my stressors of the day. I can now enjoy those early morning runs again!”

Knee Pain Physical Therapy FAQs

​

How long does it take to recover from knee pain? 

Your knee pain recovery timeline depends on the severity of your condition, how long you’ve been experiencing pain, and how consistently you follow your prescribed treatment plan. Many of our patients find themselves with significant pain relief within 4-6 weeks, but if you are recovering from chronic knee pain or are post-surgery, it may take longer. 

 

Regardless, we provide all patients with a realistic timeline during your initial evaluation and adjust your plan as you progress. 

 

Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist for knee pain? 

No referral needed! South Carolina allows patients direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule an evaluation without a visit to the doctor’s office. Schedule your free discovery call with 6:33 Physical Therapy to get started. We will discuss your knee pain and determine if we are the right fit for your needs.

 

Will physical therapy help if I’ve had knee pain for years? 

Yes! We often treat patients with chronic knee pain, many of whom have gone on to live pain-free. Because we focus on treating the root cause of pain, we are able to determine if your knee pain has developed due to muscle imbalances, movement compensations, or untreated biomechanical issues. An individualized, tailored physical therapy regimen can give you the tools to prevent future injury.
