Don't Let Knee Pain Slow You Down
Your knees take a lot of wear and tear, whether you’re walking, squatting, climbing stairs or just getting up from a chair. When pain strikes — especially pain behind the knee, inner knee pain or discomfort under the kneecap — it can make daily activities feel impossible.
At Advancing Movement with Physical Therapy (AMPT) in Houston, we know knee pain can impact people of all ages, especially ladies who may experience unique stress on the joints due to hormones, alignment or repetitive activities.
Common Knee Pain & Causes
Your knee is one of the body’s largest and most complex joints. It includes:
- Bones — The femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone) and patella (kneecap)
- Cartilage — Meniscus pads cushion and stabilize the joint
- Ligaments and tendons — Hold the knee together and allow for bending and straightening
Damage to any of these parts can cause pain and limit your ability to move with ease.
Some common knee pain causes include:
- Overuse injuries — Repetitive activities can lead to tendonitis or irritation under the kneecap.
- Ligament sprains or tears — Sudden twists or awkward landings may damage ligaments, leading to instability and pain.
- Meniscus injuries — Tears in the cartilage that cushions your knee joint can cause clicking, locking or pain with bending.
- Arthritis — Degeneration of the knee joint causes stiffness and soreness over time.
- Referred pain — Hip or foot issues can change how you walk, adding strain on your knee.
If you’ve been given a knee pain diagnosis or you’re still searching for answers, physical therapy is often the safest, most effective way to find relief.
