Most knee pain isn’t actually caused by the knee. Hidden factors like hip weakness, ankle mobility restrictions, foot mechanics, and core instability overload the joint. At Kinetik Performance and Rehab in Mission Viejo, our physical therapists identify the real source of knee pain and use hands-on manual therapy, movement correction, and targeted strengthening to deliver faster, long-term relief.

Many physical therapy clinics rely on exercise-only treatments, but hands-on manual therapy remains one of the most effective ways to reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed recovery. At Kinetik Performance and Rehab in Mission Viejo, every session includes personalized manual treatment from a licensed physical therapist to help you heal faster and prevent recurring injuries.

Struggling with a recent injury? The RICE method is outdated and often slows healing. Modern recovery focuses on guided movement, progressive loading, and addressing the root cause of pain. Learn why rest and ice aren’t enough — and how hands-on physical therapy at Kinetik Performance and Rehab in Mission Viejo helps you recover faster and prevent re-injury.
