Knee pain shows up in many forms for Westwood, MA residents — the running injury that won’t quite resolve, the post-op stiffness that’s slowing return to activity, the chronic ache that flares with long walks. The knee almost never works alone: the hip above and the ankle below are usually part of the story. The right physical therapy program reads the whole chain, identifies the actual driver of symptoms, and rebuilds movement from the ground up.
A short drive from Westwood, PhysioHealth Physical Therapy in North Attleboro is led by Dr. Christopher Gomes, DPT, OCS, CSCS — a board-certified orthopedic specialist with strong clinical interest in the knee. Your evaluation looks at the full kinetic chain so we treat the cause, not just the painful spot. Plans may combine manual therapy, progressive strength work, neuromuscular re-education, functional dry needling, Graston, and (for athletes) activity-specific return-to-play progressions.
What you’ll feel is the difference of truly personalized care. Every session is dedicated to your case and goals. That focus is what makes the progress feel real and sustainable.
If knee pain has been getting in the way of what you love, the route back is shorter than you think. Westwood is just a short drive from 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.
