How Can Knee Physical Therapy Eliminate My Pain?

What is the largest joint in our body? Answer: The Knee. The knee is the connecting point of a total of three bones in our legs: the lower end of the thigh bone or the femur, the upper end of the shinbone or the tibia, and the knee cap or the patella. Other parts of the knee are the cartilage or the shock absorbing cushions in between muscles, the tendons, and the ligament or the bands connecting our bones to other bones. Any damage to these parts can be helped with knee physical therapy. The ligament alone is so vulnerable to pulling, stretching and tearing. With each knee having four major supporting ligaments: the anterior cruciate ligament or ACL at the center of knee, the posterior cruciate ligament or PCL also at the center, the lateral collateral ligament or LCL at the outer knee, and the medial collateral ligament or MCL at the inner knee a sprain can be painful. However, there are many other knee ailments that can be relieved with physical therapy. Knee physical therapy deals with damages to all these bones and parts altogether.

 

What is Knee Physical Therapy Injury Prevention?

 

Knee physical therapy injury prevention itself does so much in providing a better health for our knees.
