Don't sacrifice the active lifestyle you love over a problem that can be fixed. At Strike Physiotherapy & Performance, we help you eliminate knee pain at its source — so you can get back to running, lifting, competing, and living without limits.
If you're living with bad knees — whether they're painful, stiff, or they just ache — it's easy to brush it off as "something that comes with age" or a bit of "wear and tear" that'll go away on its own.
You can't quite figure out why your knees hurt, but one thing is clear: it's not getting any better.
If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Knee pain is one of the most common problems we see at our clinic in North Hollywood — and when people come to us, they all want to know the same thing:
Most people assume their knee pain will eventually ease off and disappear. They think they'll wake up one morning and — like magic — the pain will be gone. But then six months later, they're still living with the same discomfort, often worse than when it started.
Another common scenario: you visit your doctor, and they tell you to "rest," hand you a prescription for painkillers, and say "come back in six weeks if it's not better." Six weeks later, you're back in the same office, with the same pain, being given even stronger pills and maybe a knee brace.
Maybe you've been told conflicting advice by different people. Rest more. Walk more. Do this exercise. Don't do that exercise. It becomes incredibly confusing — and that confusion leads to procrastination. Worse, it leads people to simply accept knee pain as "part of life," as if it's normal or has to be that way.
It doesn't. And I'm here to help you prove that.
If any of these have happened to you, that's actually a good thing — because when you know what doesn't work, you're one step closer to finding what does.
You assumed the pain would go away on its own — but weeks turned into months and it only got worse.
Your doctor prescribed rest and painkillers — but the pills just masked the pain, and it came right back once they wore off.
A family member or friend told you "everyone gets knee pain as they age" — so you accepted it as something you'd have to live with.
You sought help from other healthcare professionals or a physical therapist in the past — but nothing they said or did seemed to make a real difference.
You've tried knee braces and supports — but they did nothing to actually reduce the pain or fix the underlying problem.
You rested after severe pain and swelling — but the knee still bothers you every single day, especially going up and down stairs.
You tried exercises from YouTube or social media — but they either hurt when you did them, or did absolutely nothing to ease the pain.
Book a complimentary discovery call to get expert advice on your knee pain. No obligation, no pressure — just honest guidance on what to do next.
Too many people wait weeks or months, hoping the pain will magically disappear. Six months down the line, nothing has changed — or it's gotten worse. The sooner you take action, the faster and more completely you'll recover.
Not random YouTube stretches — but a series of properly progressed, targeted exercises prescribed by a physical therapist who understands your specific knee problem. The right exercises reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent the issue from coming back.
Your knees weren't designed for the positions modern life puts them in — prolonged sitting, poor squat mechanics, and awkward movement patterns. Strengthening exercises combined with movement coaching can make a dramatic difference in how your knees feel daily.
Physical therapy is proven to help people with knee pain. At Strike PT, it's one of the most common issues we treat with active adults and athletes. If knee pain is stopping you from training, competing, or enjoying time with family — PT can get you back to the life you deserve.
At Strike Physiotherapy & Performance, we don't run you through a generic protocol and send you on your way. Every session is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist — a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist who personally evaluates your knee, analyzes your movement, and builds a plan designed for your specific problem and goals.
We know that knee pain is different for everyone. A runner dealing with patellofemoral syndrome needs a completely different approach than a lifter with a meniscus issue or a combat athlete recovering from an ACL injury. That's why cookie-cutter protocols fail — and why our personalized approach succeeds.
We don't just treat the knee in isolation. We look at your entire kinetic chain — your hip mobility, ankle stability, core strength, and movement mechanics — to find the real root cause of why your knee hurts. Then we fix it at the source, not just at the symptom.
From your first assessment to your last session, we're working together — and we don't stop until you're not just pain-free, but performing better than before.
We conduct a comprehensive biomechanical assessment — evaluating your knee, hip, ankle, and entire lower chain — to identify the true root cause of your pain. Then we explain exactly what needs to happen to get you back to full speed.
We build a treatment plan tailored to your body and your goals — combining hands-on therapy, progressive strengthening, and movement re-training to get you stronger, pain-free, and back on track faster than you thought possible.
Once the pain is gone, we focus on building resilience. We optimize your strength, movement mechanics, and training habits so your knees are stronger than ever — and the pain doesn't come back.
