Living in Chicago means embracing every season, from breezy lakeshore walks in spring to cheering on your favorite team at Wrigley or Soldier Field in the fall. Whether you’re navigating icy sidewalks in winter or spending summer weekends in Lincoln Park, your knees carry you through it all. But what happens when knee pain starts slowing you down? At Athletico Physical Therapy – Midtown Lincoln Park, we understand how joint pain can impact your ability to enjoy everything the city has to offer. That’s why our Knee Pain Therapy is designed to help you move comfortably—so you can get back to the active Chicago lifestyle you love.

Why Knee Pain Happens—and How We Help

From running along the Lakefront Trail to climbing the stairs at the L, your knees endure a lot of daily wear and tear. Maybe you’ve noticed stiffness after a weekend basketball game on the South Side, or maybe that old soccer injury is making it hard to keep up with your kids at Maggie Daley Park. Knee pain can have many causes, including ACL injuries, meniscus tears, MCL strains, or even arthritis that creeps in with every Chicago winter. Our physical therapy for knee arthritis and sports injuries is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

We don’t just treat your symptoms—we focus on restoring your knee’s strength, mobility, and confidence. If you’re recovering from ACL rehab, need meniscus therapy, or want to improve flexibility with IT band stretches for knee pain, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

What to Expect from Knee Pain Therapy

Personalized Care, Right Here in the Neighborhood

Your journey begins with a thorough assessment, where we listen to your story and evaluate your knee’s current condition. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, goals, and any specific activities—like running the Chicago Marathon or simply taking your dog to Oz Park—that matter most to you.

Our experienced physical therapists develop a custom plan that may include knee range of motion exercises, knee mobility drills, and progressive strengthening routines. We also emphasize patient education, so you’ll know exactly what to do between sessions to support your recovery.

  • Comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain
  • Hands-on manual therapy to reduce stiffness and improve movement
  • Targeted exercises for flexibility, strength, and stability
  • Guidance on safe activity modification—whether it’s for ACL rehab or knee replacement rehab
  • Education on injury prevention for Chicago’s active seasons
  • Support for returning to sports, work, or daily routines with confidence
