Active Mendon, MA residents — runners, hikers, weekend league players, busy parents — often come to physical therapy because knee pain has started rewriting their plans. The knee is built to bend, extend, and rotate in tightly coordinated ways, and when any of those mechanics break down, pain shows up. The cause could be a meniscus tear, patellar tendinopathy, IT band irritation, arthritis, or imbalances upstream at the hip or downstream at the foot. The right physical therapy program identifies the root cause and rebuilds the chain.
A short drive from Mendon, PhysioHealth Physical Therapy in North Attleboro is led by Dr. Christopher Gomes, DPT, OCS, CSCS — a board-certified orthopedic specialist whose clinical interests include the knee. Care here goes beyond cookie-cutter protocols. Your evaluation looks at the full kinetic chain so we treat the actual driver, not just the painful spot. Plans typically combine manual therapy, targeted strengthening, neuromuscular training, dry needling, Graston for soft-tissue restrictions, and sport- or activity-specific progressions where relevant.
Personalized care means your physical therapist sees every rep and every adjustment. It’s dedicated, focused attention that lets us push when you’re ready and back off when you’re not. You’ll also leave with a clear home program and full understanding of what your knee is doing and why.
If knee pain has been getting in the way, the route back to what you love is short — quite literally, from Mendon to our North Attleboro clinic. Reach out today to schedule an evaluation.
Knee pain is almost always a chain issue. The hip above and the foot below have huge influence on how the knee loads, which is why isolated knee exercises often don’t fix the problem. A complete evaluation looks at hip strength, ankle mobility, single-leg balance, and movement quality — then builds a program that addresses the actual driver. Most knee patients see real improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent work.
