Knee therapy addresses the full spectrum of knee conditions from sports injuries to degenerative conditions. At Nova Prime Physical Therapy in Chantilly, VA, our knee specialists use evidence-based treatments to reduce pain, improve function, and help you stay active, serving patients throughout Northern Virginia.
The knee is essential for walking, running, climbing, and countless daily activities. When knee pain strikes, it can significantly impact your quality of life. Whether you're dealing with an ACL injury in Fairfax, meniscus tear in Centreville, or knee arthritis in Herndon, our knee specialists at Nova Prime PT provide comprehensive care to get you moving again. We treat athletes returning from sports injuries and seniors managing degenerative conditions with equal expertise.
Our knee therapy approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your knee mechanics, including range of motion, strength, stability, and functional movement patterns. We also assess your hip, ankle, and core, as problems in these areas often contribute to knee pain. Treatment typically includes manual therapy, progressive strengthening exercises, balance and proprioception training, and gait analysis. For post-surgical patients, we follow surgeon-specific protocols while individualizing care to your recovery.
Knee therapy benefits anyone experiencing knee pain or dysfunction. This includes individuals with ACL, MCL, PCL, or meniscus injuries; knee osteoarthritis; patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee); IT band syndrome; patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee); post-surgical rehabilitation (ACL reconstruction, knee replacement, meniscus repair); and general knee pain from overuse or injury. Patients throughout Chantilly, Fairfax, Centreville, Herndon, Reston, South Riding, and Oak Hill trust our knee specialists.
Our knee therapy philosophy emphasizes functional restoration—not just eliminating pain but restoring your ability to do the activities you love. We address the biomechanical factors that contributed to your injury, including hip weakness, poor landing mechanics, and muscle imbalances. This comprehensive approach reduces your risk of re-injury and improves long-term outcomes. We also work closely with orthopedic surgeons throughout Northern Virginia for patients requiring surgical intervention.
These are the issues patients bring to us most often for knee therapy.
A clear, step-by-step plan so you know what happens next.
Most patients notice meaningful changes within the first few weeks. Your exact timeline depends on injury severity, healing, and how consistently we work the plan together.
Use these to stay on track between appointments. We’ll personalize a plan for you.
In many cases, physical therapy can significantly delay or even eliminate the need for knee replacement by strengthening supporting muscles, improving joint mechanics, and reducing pain through conservative means.
Most ACL reconstruction protocols recommend starting physical therapy within the first week after surgery. Early intervention helps control swelling, restore motion, and begin the long rehabilitation process.
Many people with knee arthritis can continue running or return to running with proper guidance. We'll assess your situation and help you modify your training to protect your knees while staying active.
