Are you asking yourself, “Why does my knee hurt? What can I do to get relief?” Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice can help you get back to pain-free movement.

Whether you’re looking to avoid surgery through conservative treatment or recovering after a procedure like a knee replacement or meniscus repair, our team will guide you every step of the way. We create personalized plans that focus on restoring strength, mobility, and confidence so you can get back to the activities you love.

Knee pain is one of the most common joint complaints in adults. It can result from arthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries, or simply overuse. Studies show that up to 25% of adults report knee pain at some point each year (Dahm et al., 2009).

Exercise therapy is strongly supported for managing knee osteoarthritis and many other causes of knee pain (Fransen et al., 2015). The right movement helps reduce pain, improve strength, and restore function.

Tips for Relief and Prevention
• Stay active with low-impact activities like walking, cycling, or swimming.
• Strengthen your quadriceps and hip muscles for support.

Why Choose Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice

Our team tailors knee rehab to each patient, focusing on strength, mobility, and return to activity. One patient said: “After PT, my knee feels stronger than it has in years. I’m back to walking daily without pain.”

Are you asking “Why Does My Shoulder Hurt?”
Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice can help you to get pain free!

Shoulder pain is a leading cause of musculoskeletal visits, often from rotator cuff problems, tendonitis, bursitis, or frozen shoulder. Up to 70% of adults will experience shoulder pain at some point (Luime et al., 2004). Pain may limit reaching, lifting, or even sleeping comfortably.

Most shoulder issues respond well to conservative treatment. Exercise-based therapy, mobility work, and strengthening are proven to improve function and reduce pain (Littlewood et al., 2013).

Tips for Relief and Prevention
• Avoid repetitive overhead activities that irritate the shoulder.
• Keep posture upright to reduce strain.
• Use gentle stretching for flexibility.
• Strengthen the rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles for support.

Why Choose Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice

We create shoulder programs focused on mobility, strength, and proper mechanics. Patients often regain pain-free motion without injections or surgery. One wrote: “The staff helped me get back full use of my shoulder — I can finally sleep and move without pain.”

Understanding Low Back Pain and Sciatica

Low back pain is one of the most common problems adults face, with nearly 8 out of 10 people experiencing it at some point in their lives (Dydyk & Givler, 2023). Most of the time, back pain comes from everyday issues like muscle strain, poor posture, or overuse — not something serious. While many people feel better in a few weeks, some develop ongoing pain that makes daily activities harder (Maher et al., 2017).

Sometimes back pain is linked with sciatica, which happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated. This nerve runs from your lower back down through your legs, so when it’s affected, you may feel sharp pain, tingling, or numbness that shoots down the leg (Valat et al., 2010). While many cases of sciatica improve over time, recovery can take months, and some people need extra help through physical therapy and guided exercise (Vroomen et al., 2000). Staying active and moving the right way is important — long periods of rest can actually make symptoms worse (Tarulli & Raynor, 2007).

Simple Tips for Relief and Prevention
• Stay active: Walking, gentle stretching, and light activity can ease stiffness and help recovery.
• Watch your posture: Avoid slouching at your desk or standing with your weight unevenly on one leg. Small adjustments make a big difference.
• Strengthen your core: Strong abdominal and back muscles support your spine and reduce the risk of flare-ups.
• Listen to your body: If pain is severe, travels down the leg, or is paired with weakness or numbness, it’s time to see a professional.

Why Choose Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice

At Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice, we specialize in helping people overcome low back pain and sciatica with personalized, evidence-based care. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we design treatment programs that may include guided exercise, posture training, core strengthening, and hands-on therapy when appropriate. We also focus on education, so you know how to manage your pain and prevent future flare-ups.

Our patients often share success stories that remind us why we love what we do. One wrote, “Fantastic healing journey — within a few weeks I was walking again without pain.” Another said, “The staff listened, customized a plan, and I can finally sleep through the night again.” These results show that with the right care, recovery is possible.

If low back pain or sciatica is holding you back, we’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and get back to the activities you love.
