How we can help
Explore knee care at FYZICAL Woburn
Explore some of the concerns we assess and how care can be tailored to your activities and goals.
Cruciate ligament injury
The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL) help stabilize the forward and backward motion of the knee, and the ACL also helps control rotation. Individualized physical therapy may support movement, strength and function, with or without surgery. It cannot repair every tear or replace surgery when surgery is needed.
Request an appointmentMeniscus injury
The meniscus is cartilage that cushions the knee joint. Tears can happen from a sudden twist or develop gradually as the cartilage changes over time. Your assessment and your doctor’s guidance shape rehabilitation focused on movement, strength and everyday function.
Request an appointmentKnee pain
Knee pain can have several causes. Your therapist explores how your knee moves and which activities are difficult, and discusses care around your movement difficulties and goals, including another healthcare professional’s input when needed.
Request an appointmentTotal knee replacement
A total knee replacement replaces the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. Rehabilitation before or after knee replacement follows your surgical team's restrictions, including weight bearing and walking aids. Your individualized plan supports strength, mobility and personal goals, with progress reviewed and activity adjusted as your recovery allows.
Request an appointmentDegenerative conditions
With osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joint changes over time. Exercise does not reverse those changes, but individualized movement and strength work may help you manage symptoms and everyday tasks alongside care from your doctor.
Request an appointmentSprains
A knee sprain is a ligament injury that can range from a stretch to a partial or complete tear, so severity varies. After a medical assessment when needed, rehabilitation is paced to your knee and reviewed over time.
Request an appointmentYour assessment guides an individualized plan. Your therapist discusses how physical therapy and any care from your other healthcare professionals fit together.
Ask about an appointmentOur approach to care
Knee-focused treatment, paced to you
Knee problems can affect how you walk, use stairs, stand up and stay active. Based on your assessment, your evidence-informed program may combine tailored exercise, movement practice and practical guidance to help manage symptoms and improve what you can do. Treatment is adjusted to your assessment, response and goals.
Tolerable movement and pacing
Your therapist helps you find knee movements and activity levels you can tolerate, with the aim of keeping you moving without pushing through worsening pain. Guidance on pacing and gradually building activity can help you manage symptoms day to day.
Tailored mobility and strengthening
Exercises are chosen to work on knee movement and the strength of the muscles around the knee and hip. Intensity is adjusted to your abilities and stage of recovery, with any surgical or medical precautions taken into account.
Everyday activity guidance
Your therapist may suggest ways to adjust walking, stairs, standing up and work tasks, and discuss how to use any walking aid your surgical or medical team recommended. Guidance is tailored to your daily goals and adjusted in response to changes in your movement, comfort and confidence.
Support between appointments
A manageable home program helps you keep working toward your goals. Your therapist explains how much to do, how to adjust when your knee flares and when to stop an exercise and seek advice.
We review changes in your symptoms and everyday function—not just a pain score—and adjust your program as needed. Tell your therapist about new or worsening knee symptoms; some changes need medical review rather than an exercise adjustment.

What if an exercise is painful?
Some discomfort can be expected, but do not push through pain that is getting worse. Stop and tell your therapist so the exercise can be adjusted or your knee reviewed.

Can exercise reverse knee arthritis?
