Anterior Knee Pain Is Rarely Just the Knee

Pain at the front of your knee when you squat, run, or take stairs is often caused by how your hips, ankles, and posture work together, not just the knee itself.

At Optimal Performance Physical Therapy, we look at the whole system using a Postural Restoration approach. Every visit is one-on-one with a physical therapist. No assistants.

North Carolina is a direct access state. No referral needed.

Every patient has one spot that always speaks up.
Low back.
Hip.
Neck.
Jaw.
Shoulder blade.
The truth is that the aching spot is rarely the real problem. It is the part working overtime to keep you upright when something else is not doing its job.

Postural Restoration helps you understand why your body keeps choosing the same compensation pattern and how to finally break it.
Your pain is not random. It is a message. We help you interpret it and resolve it.

Come in for a free thirty-minute consultation and find out what your body has been trying to tell you.

People focus on stretching, strengthening, icing, and resting. The one thing most people never think about is rib position.

Your ribs set the foundation for how you breathe and how your spine moves. When they are not in the right place, your neck tightens, your lower back works overtime, and your hips become confused about their job.

Here in Boone, the air feels different.

Your breathing should too.

If you cannot get a full breath, your ribs may be locked, your diaphragm may be overworking, and your posture may be forcing your neck or back to take on the job of breathing.

At Optimal Performance Physical Therapy, we use Postural Restoration to restore the natural movement of your ribs, spine, and diaphragm so your body can breathe the way it was designed to.
Better breathing means better movement. Better movement means better days.

Come in for a free thirty-minute consultation and learn how to breathe like the mountain air.
