A Personal Wellness Mission for FYZICAL Palm Beach

Physical therapy treatment for knee pain due to muscle imbalance can be very successful.

When Mike Graves was in high school in upstate New York, he was a standout wrestler. Prior to his senior year, he figured to be a state championship contender if he could overcome one stubborn opponent: persistent — often excruciating — knee pain.

“I had been to different doctors and tried everything — even cortisone shots,” he recalls. “Nothing worked.”

Nothing, that is, until he sought treatment from a physical therapist — one who showed him that, while the pain was radiating from his right knee, it was being caused by specific factors elsewhere.
