Move Freely Again: Knee Pain Therapy in Evanston, IL

Life in Evanston is full of movement—whether you’re walking your dog along the Lakefront Trail, cheering from the stands during a Wildkits game, or simply braving our icy winters and humid summers on your daily errands. But when knee pain slows you down, even the simplest neighborhood stroll or trip to the farmers market can feel overwhelming. At Athletico Physical Therapy – Evanston South, we understand how important it is for you to stay active and connected to the community you love. That’s why our Knee Pain Therapy is designed to help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence—so you can get back to enjoying everything Evanston has to offer, no matter the season.

Understanding Knee Pain—and How We Help

Knee pain comes in many forms, from that nagging ache after a long bike ride down Sheridan Road, to a sharp twinge when you’re climbing the stairs at home. Whether you’re dealing with joint pain from years of running along Northwestern’s campus, navigating knee arthritis, or recovering from a sports injury like an ACL or meniscus tear, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Our approach focuses on personalized care—meaning we listen closely to your story, assess your movement, and tailor a plan just for you. We help with:

  • ACL rehab, MCL rehab, and meniscus therapy to restore stability and strength after injury
  • Knee replacement rehab to help you regain confidence and independence
  • Physical therapy for knee arthritis to reduce pain and improve function for daily living
  • Guided knee range of motion exercises and knee mobility drills to support flexibility
  • IT band stretches for knee pain and strategies to address related hip or thigh discomfort

Our goal is always to help you move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities that mean the most to you—be it gardening in the spring, joining a local rec league, or simply enjoying a walk to your favorite Central Street café.
