Knee Pain In Garden City
If you’ve got knee pain, stiffness, or an ache around the joint—it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you pass it off as having just “tweaked it wrong,” or that it’s just “runner’s knee” or a bit of stiffness that “everyone” your age suffers from…
There’s no obvious reason why it happened, or maybe it started subtly after activity or climbing stairs—but the pain doesn’t seem to be improving!
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone—and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Osteoarthritis, Patellofemoral Pain, and Chronic Knee Pain are among the most common problems that we see in our physical therapy clinic in Garden City.

What is Knee pain?
Knee pain is a common problem seen at TransformHealth Physical Therapy, and it can affect individuals of all ages and activity levels. Many individuals arrive at TransformHealth after trying rest, medication, massage, chiropractic care, injections, or even surgery – yet still struggle with persistent discomfort or limited mobility. Because the knee sits between the hips and the feet, it often takes on stress when those areas are not functioning well. Identifying the true source of knee pain involves understanding how the entire lower body is working together.
What are the symptoms of Knee pain?
Knee pain can show up in several different ways, and patients at TransformHealth commonly report:
- Pain when walking, running, or climbing stairs
- Discomfort when squatting, kneeling, or getting up from a chair
- Stiffness or tightness around the knee joint
- Pain or clicking when bending or straightening the knee
- Weakness or instability, especially during activity
- Swelling or a feeling of “pressure” in and around the joint
- Pain during or after exercise
- Difficulty fully straightening or bending the knee
Over time, knee pain can interfere with normal daily function. Many individuals begin to avoid movement altogether, which often leads to increased stiffness, weakness, and worsening symptoms.
What Is Our Approach To Fixing / Treating Knee pain?
We take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to solving knee pain. A detailed, one-on-one evaluation looks not only at the knee, but also the hips, foot and ankle mechanics, and lower-back function. This helps identify whether weak hip muscles, limited ankle mobility, or movement compensation patterns are placing excess stress on the knee.
Treatment may include:
- Hands-on joint mobilizations to improve movement in and around the knee
- Soft-tissue techniques to reduce tension and improve flexibility
- Strengthening exercises for the hips, thighs, and lower leg muscles
- Movement retraining to correct walking, running, or squatting patterns
- Balance and stability work to support knee control
- Guidance on reducing strain during daily activities and exercise
When the right muscles are strengthened, joint mobility is restored, and movement patterns are corrected, knee pain often improves significantly – helping individuals return to work, exercise, and everyday life with more confidence.
