Knee pain starts with control; we help you regain it
Knee Pain
Knee pain in the absence of an acute injury has been correlated with poor knee control during functional tasks. More importantly, improvements in knee control have been shown to reduce knee pain. At Exactus Rehab and Performance, we employ a holistic approach to identify dysfunctions in areas beyond the knee that contribute to inadequate knee control.
If you present to our clinic with knee pain, we assess:
Ankle Mobility
- A reduction in ankle mobility has been correlated with inadequate knee control
- Decreased ankle mobility is a proposed risk factor for patella tendinopathy
Hip Strength
- Weakness in various hip muscles has been correlated with poor knee control
- Hip muscle weakness has been observed in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS)
- Hip muscle strengthening exercises have been shown to reduce knee pain in individuals with PFPS
