Knee pain or injury can accurately be diagnosed by your doctor so your sport therapist can create a treatment plan to help to relive your pain. Muscle strains and ligament sprains, knee arthritis, biomechanical dysfunction and referred pain from sciatica can be the cause of knee pain.

There are many causes of knee pain and your treatment plan will vary depending on diagnosis. Your treatment plan may include taping, mobilization, massage, strengthening or stretching exercises. It is a possibility that some knee pain may need to be addressed through rehabilitation after knee reconstruction or replacement.

Generally, knee pain is treated short term with injections of cortisone or pain killers. At Olympic Sport Massage we focus on treatment of the injury or pain to prevent the pain from coming back rather than treating the symptoms of the knee pain. If it is not corrected the pain will return.
