Physical therapy for knees in New York City

Knee Pain Therapy

Located in Manhattan's Union Square, NYC

Even if you are not subject to multiple flights of subway stairs, knee pain can be crippling for those pounding the pavement as well as for those driving an hour to work. Knees can be easily abused by poor mechanics at the hip, knee, or ankle.

At James Fowler Physical Therapy, our therapists specialize in proper mechanics of the whole leg to ensure that knees are not taking unnecessary stress through improper weight distribution from decreased strength or mobility. We account for every patients' activities and needs, regardless of if you are dealing with chronic stiffness from a desk or rehabilitating from a surgery.

Some conditions we treat are listed here on this page, but bear in mind that this list is far from conclusive. If you do not see your specific problem, please feel free to get in touch with us.

Addressing & Treating Knee Pain

There are many causes of knee pain, from the obvious - such as an automotive or sporting injury - to the less obvious - such as patella femoral syndrome, a result of muscular imbalance. For this reason, our treatments always begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, range of motion, flexibility, and strength. We want to ensure we properly understand your kneeds (okay, last pun, we swear) and work to address the root cause.

We help anyone suffering from knee pain, restricted mobility, weakness, or other conditions that affect your knees. In a walking city like New York, people of all shapes, ages, and sizes visit us. We welcome you, too! Learn more about what we can treat by clicking below.
