Knees Therapy in Tarrytown, NY - Good Life Physical Therapy

Knee

Your knees take on a lot — from daily walking to weekend workouts. If you're dealing with stiffness, pain, or instability, we’ll help you restore motion, build strength, and move forward with more comfort and control.

Anatomy and Function

Your knees are hinge joints that connect your thigh bones to your lower legs, allowing for bending, weight-bearing, and shock absorption. Healthy knee mechanics are critical for walking, running, climbing stairs, and all lower body movements. The knee is supported by ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and surrounding muscles — all of which must work together to maintain alignment and stability. When any part is injured or imbalanced, pain and instability can follow.

Common Conditions We Treat

From joint pain to ligament tears, we help patients of all ages restore knee stability and strength. 


Common Knee Conditions: 


• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee) 

• ACL and MCL injuries and surgical recoveries

• Meniscus injuries 

• Knee osteoarthritis 

• Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome 

• Post-surgical knee rehab 

• Ligament sprains and muscle strains

How Physical Therapy Helps

Knee pain can results from muscular imbalances, faulty mechanics, or tissue damage incurred over time. We start with a full evaluation to identify the cause of your issue, then build a program to reduce pain, restore regular use, and support long-term joint health. Your treatment may include strengthening, neuromuscular training, hands-on therapy, and mobility work tailored to your lifestyle.

Additional FAQs

Can physical therapy help me avoid knee surgery? 

In many cases, yes. Strengthening muscles and improving joint mechanics often reduces or eliminates pain and improves function without invasive procedures.  


What if I already had knee surgery — is it too late for physical therapy? 

Not at all. Post-surgical rehab is one of the most important ways to recover fully, safely, and efficiently.  Even people who had surgeries many years ago can see improvement with personalized physical therapy after surgery.
