Knee Pain Shouldn't Sideline Your Active Life

When knee pain persists, it doesn't just hurt—it steals the activities that matter most to you.

1. Missing Your Workouts & Sports 

2. Frustrated by Cookie-Cutter Treatment 

3. Worried It Will Never Heal 

That nagging knee pain is forcing you to skip runs, avoid the gym, and sit out the activities that keep you healthy and happy.

You've tried generic exercises and quick appointments with assistants, but nothing addresses the root cause of your knee pain.

The pain keeps coming back, and you're starting to wonder if you'll ever get back to moving confidently without limitations.

Common Questions About Our Knee Pain Physical Therapy

Everything you need to know before your first visit

1. How is your approach to knee pain different from other physical therapy clinics? 

Every session at Streamline Performance PT is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for the full 60 minutes. You'll never be handed off to an assistant or tech. We use advanced techniques like dry needling, shockwave therapy, VALD force plate testing, and blood flow restriction training to address the root cause of your knee pain—not just mask symptoms. This personalized approach means fewer total visits and longer-lasting results.

2. How many physical therapy sessions will I need for knee pain? 

Every knee injury is different, but most patients see significant improvement within 6-8 sessions. Because we spend a full hour one-on-one and use evidence-based techniques to address the root cause, our patients typically need fewer total visits compared to traditional PT clinics. During your initial evaluation, we'll create a personalized treatment plan with clear goals and timelines.

3. Can I continue exercising while receiving treatment for knee pain? 

Absolutely! One of our core philosophies is keeping you active while addressing your injury. We'll modify your training as needed and work with you to maintain fitness while your knee heals. Many of our providers are athletes themselves (triathletes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, runners, golfers) and understand the importance of staying active during recovery.

4. Do you accept insurance for knee pain physical therapy? 

Please call our office at (602) 755-3138 to discuss insurance coverage and payment options. Our team can verify your benefits and explain your out-of-pocket costs before your first appointment.

5. What should I bring to my first appointment? 

Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows easy access to your knee. Bring any relevant medical records, imaging results (X-rays, MRIs), and a list of current medications. If you have insurance, bring your insurance card. Most importantly, come ready to discuss your goals—whether that's returning to running, playing sports pain-free, or simply walking without discomfort.

6. What types of knee injuries do you treat? 

We treat the full spectrum of knee conditions including runner's knee (patellofemoral pain), meniscus tears, ACL/MCL/LCL injuries, IT band syndrome, knee arthritis, post-surgical rehab, hamstring strains affecting knee function, and general knee pain from overuse or acute injury. Our Doctors of PT have extensive experience with both surgical and non-surgical knee rehabilitation for athletes and active adults.
