Knee Pain Treatment in St. Augustine, FL
Do you grab the railing going down the stairs because your knee doesn't feel like it'll hold? Maybe it aches after pickleball, or complains every time you squat at the gym. You've iced it and rested it, and it still won't let go.
Knee pain can sit at the front around the kneecap, along the inside or outside, or behind the knee. It might ache on stairs, sting when you squat or kneel, or swell after a long day on your feet. Sometimes there's an old injury behind it. Sometimes it seems to show up out of nowhere.
Where Knee Pain Starts
“Your knee mostly goes where your foot and hip send it.”
See yourself in a few of these? You're in the right place.
You hold the railing and take them one at a time.
Getting low for a squat or the garden bed sends a jolt through the knee.
Sitting with bent knees leaves it stiff and sore when you stand.
A round of pickleball or a long walk, and it puffs up by evening.
It feels like it might give way when you turn or step off a curb.
Getting down on the floor with the kids or grandkids is off the table.
Ice, a brace and a few leg lifts can take the edge off. But if your feet and hips keep steering the knee the wrong way, it keeps paying the price.
01
A collapsing arch or a weak hip lets the knee drift inward.
02
Every stair, squat and step strains the joint a little more.
03
It settles while you take it easy, then flares the moment you're active.
We fix the steering, from your feet up, so the knee can calm down. Then we build strong legs with you that can handle stairs, squats and the court.
We treat your sore knee, and the feet and hips steering it. Every visit is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy, from the first minute to the last.
We map how your feet, knees and hips move together when you walk and squat, so we can see what's steering your knee off track.
Supervised strength training for your feet, hips and legs, so your knee has strong support for stairs, squats and sports for years to come.
Hands-on care to ease stiffness around the knee and free up the tight hips and ankles that change how it bends.

Often, yes. At Renew we check your feet, hips and how you move, not just the knee, then treat the cause and build strength. If we can't help, we'll say so honestly.
They can. Your feet set up how your whole leg lines up. If an arch collapses or a foot is stiff, the knee often takes the strain. That's why every exam at Renew starts with your feet.
Yes. We follow your surgeon's post-op protocol and work with your surgeon. You get one-on-one time with a Doctor of Physical Therapy every visit, from early recovery all the way into strength training.
See a doctor first if your knee swells up fast after a pop, locks and won't straighten, or you can't put weight on it after a fall or twist. Those need a medical look before therapy.
No. We have clients who work out at home with just a few dumbbells. Your exercises live in our app with videos, so you can do them at home or wherever you happen to be.
