Dear Knee Pain Sufferer

Whether you are looking to finally get to the bottom of your nagging and severe knee pain or just looking for better ways to exercise, stay healthy, and perform your best at sport without making your knee pain worse, then this advice could be the best news you hear this week.

What often starts as a small but tolerable ache or tightness around your knee can progress into a pain that limits your ability to run, lift weights, do yoga, or even walk or climb stairs. Often, when pain first starts the prescription is to REST and WAIT for the pain to subside.

Unfortunately, this rarely fixes the problem, and if it does, it temporary leaves your more frustrated that you took time off from being active.

Additionally, your friends and family (let alone your doctor!) tell you to “stop running”, “Stop doing CrossFit “, or “do you really need to hike so much” while stating that these activities are “bad for your knees”.

This advice is likely the LAST thing you want to hear knowing that your hiking, running, soccer or yoga is the #1 activity that gives you enjoyment and keeps you healthy and strong.

Let’s just set the record straight; running, Crossfit, hiking, dance, soccer are NOT bad for your knees! ​

Before you get upset just thinking about missing your next run or workout and giving in to taking medication for your knee pain, let me just say that at Spark Performance and Physiotherapy we know a BETTER WAY to get you out of pain fast while staying active!

Our Approach

Before I go on to tell you exactly how we can help to fully resolve your knee pain, let me just say that what we do at Spark Performance and Physiotherapy is completely different than what’s provided at other physical therapy clinics in many facets.

The main one being that we believe “movement is medicine” and use an active approach to rehab that addresses your specific goals head on instead of wasting your time using ice, heat, electrical stimulation, or even worse, telling you to rest and take medications with harmful side effects.

At Spark Performance and Physiotherapy we believe your movement education is the number one way you not only get out of pain quickly but also keep your pain from returning!

Here’s Who We Can Help

What I want you to know is that at Spark Performance and Physiotherapy we don’t claim to help EVERYONE. We specifically help active people who want to overcome their pain without pain medication, injections, or surgery and who desire to stay active and healthy. If you can say “YES” to any of the following, then the specialist service we provide is RIGHT for you:

• You’ve noticed an annoying “ache” or “sharp” pain at your knee for more than 10 days
• You have severe pain that limits your walking, squatting, or stairs
• Your knee pain keeps you from performing to the highest level in your sport
• You’ve experienced pain that keeps you from a full nights sleep
• You value the enjoyment of exercise and strongly dislike the idea of being at “rest”
• You would rather not take pain medication or having injections

If you said “Yes” to anything above then you are a perfect fit for our specialized care and we will be able to help you achieve your movement goals!​
