Every step can feel harder when your knee aches, turning movement into a challenge. Whether the pain stems from osteoarthritis or an old injury, limited mobility can restrict daily activities and lower your quality of life. Those seeking non-invasive treatment often ask, “How does physiotherapy help with knee pain?” Physiotherapy offers an evidence-based way to ease pain and restore joint function without surgery or medication.
At Burlington Chiropractic, founders Dr. James Galgano and Dr. Antonietta Sorbara-Galgano provide physiotherapy in Burlington, NJ. The Life University graduates have owned and operated the practice locally for more than 25 years. Each has treated more than 3,500 patients, and both have taught advanced chiropractic through postgraduate seminars for over two decades.
Dr. Joby Passanante, a Parker University graduate, adds more than 15 years of clinical experience, including work with the Colombian Olympic Committee. Together, their clinical experience informs the approach to knee rehabilitation used throughout the practice.
How Does Physical Therapy Help Relieve Knee Pain?
A physical therapy plan may combine muscle strengthening with other targeted techniques to relieve knee pain:
- Knee-strengthening exercises: Building strength in the quadriceps and hamstrings helps absorb impact, while stronger glutes support hip control and reduce knee stress.
- Range of motion: Guided passive and active movements reduce stiffness while supporting joint-fluid movement and flexibility.
- Pain management: Manual soft-tissue therapy loosens tight muscles and tendons around the knee, reducing inflammation and improving circulation.
- Postural alignment: Assessing alignment from the feet through the spine, with motion technology when appropriate, helps identify imbalances that place uneven pressure on the knee.
- Low-impact exercises for stability: Balance and gait training retrain stability, helping reduce future injury risk and rebuild movement confidence.
Following a progressive set of physical therapy exercises under professional guidance can provide more structured progress than relying on a single routine. To understand how these exercises relate to joint anatomy, read all about your knees and explore the structures that support movement.
Burlington Chiropractic’s Integrated Approach
Every treatment plan at Burlington Chiropractic begins with a comprehensive assessment that considers factors beyond the painful knee. The practice examines how your spine and hips move together, as these mechanics guide the selection of exercises and techniques for your needs. Those findings shape care because physiotherapy relieves knee pain most effectively when treatment reflects broader movement patterns throughout the body.
Burlington Chiropractic also uses dynamic digital radiography to track spinal motion, which it reports improves precision by more than 80% while producing 75% less radiation. Thermal nerve scanning adds another layer of insight, helping the team monitor structural health and measure recovery over time.
