When most people think about physical therapy, they picture a treatment table. They imagine massage, joint mobilizations, dry needling, or other hands-on techniques that seem like the key to recovery. It’s a belief that’s been reinforced for years, leading many people to think that if a physical therapist isn’t physically working on the injured area, […]

If you’ve been struggling with jumper’s knee, you’ve probably tried just about everything to make the pain go away. Maybe you’ve rested for a few weeks.
