Get Back to Your Active Life in Waukee with Knee Pain Therapy

Living in Waukee means enjoying all four seasons—whether you’re braving icy sidewalks in the winter, hiking the Raccoon River Valley Trail on a crisp fall afternoon, or cheering at a youth soccer game in Centennial Park. But when knee pain strikes, even simple pleasures like walking your dog through your neighborhood or standing in line at the farmer’s market can feel daunting. At Athletico Physical Therapy – Waukee South, we understand how knee pain can interrupt your daily routine, hobbies, and family time. Our dedicated Knee Pain Therapy is designed to help you regain your confidence and mobility, so you can keep up with the vibrant Waukee lifestyle you love.

Understanding Knee Pain—And How We Can Help

Knee pain can come from a variety of sources—maybe you twisted your knee on a jog through Fox Creek Park, or perhaps you’re experiencing joint pain climbing the stairs after years of cheering on the Warriors. From sudden sports injuries like ACL and MCL strains, to the everyday aches of knee arthritis, our team is here to help you find relief. We know how important it is to get back to the activities that matter most to you, whether that’s gardening in your backyard or taking the grandkids to the playground.

Our Knee Pain Therapy program is tailored to your unique situation. If you’re recovering from a meniscus injury, ACL rehab, or working through knee replacement rehab, our physical therapists will guide you through safe, effective steps to restore your strength and flexibility. We also specialize in helping with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, using proven techniques such as knee range of motion exercises, targeted knee mobility drills, and IT band stretches for knee pain. Our goal is to help you move better and feel better—today, tomorrow, and for seasons to come.

What to Expect from Knee Pain Therapy

At your first visit, we’ll listen closely to your story and goals. We’ll assess your movement, strength, and flexibility, then design a personalized plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re preparing for your next 5K or simply want to walk pain-free around Lakeview Park, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Your Therapy May Include:

  • Guided knee mobility drills to restore natural movement and reduce stiffness
  • Strengthening exercises for surrounding muscles to protect your knee and prevent future injuries
  • Meniscus therapy and targeted manual techniques for pain relief and improved function
  • Education on safe movement strategies for everyday Waukee activities—like shoveling snow or biking the trails
  • Personalized home exercise programs, including IT band stretches for knee pain and knee range of motion exercises
