Knee Pain

Knee pain is one of the top three reasons people seek physical therapy. While often attributed to arthritis, meniscus tears, or tendon issues, imaging shows these “abnormalities” are present in almost everyone — including those without pain. The good news: most knee pain responds best to strengthening and active rehab, not surgery.

What the Research Says

• MRI studies reveal abnormalities in 97% of symptom-free knees (Horga et al., 2020, Skeletal Radiology).

• The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recommends strengthening, aerobic exercise, and physical activity as first-line treatments.
