How To Stop Your KNEE PAIN Without Injections, Without Pills and Without Having To Wear A Brace…
Have you stopped doing the things you love to do because of pain in one (or both) of your knees?
Have you decided that it is ‘just what happens when you get old”? Do you decide on doing things outside the housed based on how much walking is involved, or where the next available seat is?
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Knee Pain is one of THE most common problems that we see in our offices in Hockessin, Wilmington, and Greenville.
And when it comes to living with Knee Pain, everybody we see wants to know the answers to these questions:
“Why isn’t this getting better by now?”… or
“Am I going to have to live like this the rest of my life?”…
Everyone thinks their knee pain with get better ‘next week’… But then 6 months later you’re still living with the discomfort of knee pain – often even worse than it was when it came on.
Does That Sound Like You?
After waiting for it go get better over time, many people then go to their doctor, get an X ray, as well as a prescription for pain pains or anti-inflammatory pills. If that does provide relief, it often is short-lived, and they go back to their family doctor to get more pills, or a referral to a surgeon. In the meantime, the pain is still there, and more activities are getting harder to do. If it wasn’t for leaning on that grocery cart, even getting groceries would be almost too much!
Has That Ever Happened To You?
Maybe you are confused because it seems like now every person you know has had knee pain, and they are quick to tell you there difficulties. They are quick to tell you how they manage their knee pain, and even suggest all kinds of different exercises, lotions, potions, and healers.
It’s very confusing to know exactly what to do – and that’s just to avoid making knee pain worse!
Many people are in this ‘limbo’, not knowing where to turn or who to get to help them.
The Senior's Guide to Banishing Knee Pain: Physical Therapy Tips That Really Work!
Today, we here at Performance Physical Therapy in Delaware are diving into a topic that’s close to the hearts of many seniors – banishing knee pain and embracing a life full of vitality!
Are you ready to discover the secrets of physical therapy here in Hockessin, Wilmington, and Greenville, Delaware that can truly make a difference?
Let’s get started on this empowering journey to healthier, happier knees.
Understanding Knee Pain in Seniors
Our knees have been with us through thick and thin, but as we age, they might need a little extra TLC.
Osteoarthritis, degenerative joint conditions, and the wear and tear of time can bring on those aches and pains.
The things we did when we were in our 20s won’t be good as we get older (Boy, that’s true of a lot of activities!)
Seniors need to remember to use their knees smartly in order to preserve strength, while minimizing excessive forces on the knee joints.
Keep your knees fairly straight when doing strength exercises! Knee pain gets worse when bending your knees excessively against resistance. That is one reason going up and down stairs can be painful to knees.

- You thought it would go away on its own – but it didn’t

- You seeked help from other Healthcare Professionals or a PT in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help
- You’ve tried using things like Knee supports but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain any better
- You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you experienced severe pain and swelling in your knees, but it still irritates you daily

The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work – you are closer to finding the thing that does!

Well, here’s 5 things you can do:
- First off, you need to make a decision about getting help.

- Get real, “hands-on” PT – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with Knee pain. In fact at Performance Physical Therapy, it’s one of the most common issues we see people aged 50+ living with.
