MYTH #1 - SIMPLY RESTING WILL MAKE YOUR KNEE PAIN GO AWAY
One common misconception about knee pain is that simply resting will make your pain go away – FALSE.
In reality, resting will only offer temporary relief rather than a long-term solution. Movement is actually crucial to rebuilding the strength and flexibility in your knee.
Physical therapy is a great option to help you avoid further damage while strengthening your knee.
MYTH #2 - PAINKILLERS, INJECTIONS, OR SURGERY ARE THE ONLY SOLUTIONS
Another common myth around knee pain is that painkillers, injections, or surgery are the only solutions – FALSE.
While these treatments may offer temporary relief, physical therapy is often a better long-term solution. Studies have shown that physical therapy can improve knee function and decrease pain by working to strengthen the muscles that support the knee joint, it can also help you stay active in later life and avoid surgery.
MYTH #3 - KNEE PAIN IS JUST A NORMAL PART OF AGING
Many people believe that knee pain is just a normal part of aging and that there’s nothing that can be done about it – FALSE.
This is simply not true.
While it is true that knee pain becomes more common with age, there are many ways you can minimize or eliminate knee pain. These include weight management, regular exercise, and physical therapy.
Building strength and flexibility in your knee through physical therapy can help reduce your risk of knee injuries and prevent further damage to your joint.
MYTH #4 - PHYSICAL THERAPY IS PAINFUL
Many people avoid physical therapy because they believe that it will be painful – FALSE.
Physical therapists work with patients to make sure they are comfortable and that pain is minimized.
The goal of physical therapy is to improve your quality of life by restoring function and movement to your knee. A physical therapist will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and lifestyle.
