Common Knee Injuries We See at Head 2 Toe Spine & Sports Therapy
Runner’s Knee (Patella Femoral Pain)
Sharp Pain Under the Kneecap

Often caused by muscle tightness, imbalance, or incorrect movement patterns, our team combines manual therapy with strengthening and mobility exercises to restore knee function.

Jumper’s Knee (Patella or Quad Tendonitis)
Pain and Swelling Around the Knee Cap
Jumper’s knee involves pain or swelling around the knee, often from repetitive running, jumping, or cutting movements. Our approach includes deep tissue therapy to reduce scar tissue in the quads, relieving pressure on the tendons for effective pain relief and mobility restoration.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)
Pain on the Outside of the Knee
Common in runners and cyclists, ITBS causes pain along the outside of the knee. Effective treatment involves addressing hip and thigh musculature, analyzing gait mechanics, and recommending corrective footwear to prevent further strain.
ACL or MCL Sprain
Instability or Pain After Twisting Injury
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprains often occur during sports or high-impact movements that involve sudden stops, pivots, or changes in direction. Patients may experience swelling, instability, or pain when bearing weight. At Head 2 Toe, we focus on restoring joint stability through guided rehab, soft tissue support, and movement retraining to rebuild confidence and prevent reinjury, without surgery when possible.
Meniscus Irritation or Degeneration
Clicking, Locking, or Pain When Squatting
Meniscus injuries range from sudden tears to age-related degeneration. Symptoms include locking, catching, or difficulty squatting or pivoting. Our conservative care approach targets joint space mobility, reduces inflammation, and strengthens surrounding musculature to improve function and reduce pressure on the joint. We also use manual therapy to improve range of motion and encourage healing.
Degenerative Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis or Cartilage Breakdown)
Stiffness, Swelling, or Deep Aching in the Joint
Knee osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration can lead to chronic stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility, especially in older adults or those with previous injuries. At Head 2 Toe, we use a combination of joint mobilization, shockwave therapy, and functional rehab to decrease inflammation and help patients stay active without relying solely on medications or injections.
Lacrosse Ball Soft Tissue Therapy for Knee Pain
Relieve Tightness and Improve Mobility at Home
One of the most effective self-care tools for managing knee pain is a lacrosse ball. This simple method targets tight quads, hamstrings, calves, and IT bands, key contributors to knee dysfunction. At Head 2 Toe, we teach patients how to use lacrosse ball soft tissue release techniques to reduce tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility in surrounding tissues
