When KNEE PAIN and STIFFNESS starts, it’s easy to think “oh it’s just an ache and will go away tomorrow”. Even worse, maybe you think “it’s normal” because you've had previous injuries, or just because you're getting older.
Is that how you’re feeling right now? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, everyday at Physio on the Go we help people in San Diego who feel this way. You see, with knee pain and stiffness everyone asks us the same questions… Why does my knee hurt so much? Or why is my knee so stiff? (I don’t even know what I did…) Why isn’t this this pain/stiffness going away? Am I going to have to live with this issue forever? Unfortunately, there’s a lot of bad information out there that causes people to live with knee issues for way too long. Here are the most common mistakes we see the people of San Diego making when it comes to knee pain and stiffness... Mistake #1: Thinking it will go away with rest. Mistake #2: Believing that it will be “fixed” with painkillers. Mistake #3: Assuming it is a “normal” part of getting older… Mistake #4: Believing that since you tried other healthcare professionals (maybe even Physical Therapy) in the past means that it won’t work now. Mistake #5: Relying on “Dr. Google” or YouTube for exercises that didn’t make any difference (or maybe even made your knee pain and stiffness worse!) Mistake #6: Getting injections to temporary relieve the pain, only to find it comes back after they wears off. Have you been making these mistakes? If any of this has happened to you, we want to say “we are sorry”...but remind you that you’re not alone. In fact, we see people just like you every day. And that’s why we’re creating a free knee pain and stiffness guide that will help you get started on your journey toward healing. It will goes over 6 Common Mistakes People Make When it Comes to Knee Pain. But maybe you feel like you’ve read a lot of free information on the internet, and really just want to talk to someone about your problem. Is that you? If so, then we have a special opportunity for you (one that VERY FEW clinics offer). We save a limited number of spots each week to chat with people who are not sure what to do about their knee pain or stiffness. That way, you can tell a professional your story, and get your question answered first, before ever making a commitment to book an appointment. Does that sound like something you would like to do? Here’s the most important thing… Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action. The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, your knee pain and stiffness WON'T get better. So the next important thing is to take action... |
