A Message From Dr. James Babana, PT, DPT, Owner & Founder of Push Through Performance

Living with painful or achy knees might lead you to believe it’s just a natural consequence of aging or a result of wear and tear, hoping it will resolve on its own. Despite this uncertainty, the pain persists, and you can’t pinpoint the exact cause.

If you are in this situation, rest assured that you are not alone. We encounter this issue frequently in our physical therapy clinic, as knee pain ranks among the most prevalent problems.

When dealing with knee pain, everyone we meet seeks answers to these pressing questions:

"Why Is This Happening To Me?" Or "Why Am I Still Enduring Worsening Knee Pain After Tolerating It For Six Months, Or Sometimes Even Longer?"

Many believe knee pain will eventually subside, expecting it to vanish magically one morning. However, they live with discomfort for six months or more, often with the pain worsening over time. Does this sound familiar to you?

Another common scenario at our physical therapy clinic is when people visit their doctors seeking help. The well-meaning doctors often recommend rest, painkillers, and a follow-up in six weeks if the condition doesn’t improve. Unfortunately, after six weeks, when little progress is seen, patients return to the same doctor only to receive another prescription for even stronger medication and, perhaps, knee support.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

Confusion might arise from receiving different advice from various sources. Some are told to rest because walking exacerbates knee pain, while others are instructed to perform specific exercises to alleviate it. Knowing precisely what to do to prevent worsening knee pain becomes challenging.

Due to this uncertainty, many people procrastinate and delay making a decision about how to address their knee pain. Some even accept it as a normal part of life, assuming that it is something they must endure.

Do You Relate To Any Of These Experiences?

If You're Currently Dealing With Knee Pain, Here Are Seven Reasons Why It Might Be Lasting Longer Than Expected:

You hoped it would resolve on its own, but the pain persisted.
Following your doctor’s advice to rest and take painkillers didn’t provide lasting relief; the pills temporarily masked the pain.
Influenced by a family member or friend, you accepted knee pain as a natural part of aging.
Despite seeking help from other healthcare professionals or a physiotherapist in the past, nothing they suggested or did seemed to alleviate the pain.
You tried using knee supports, but they didn’t contribute to reducing the pain.
Attempting rest to ease severe pain and swelling in your knees didn’t yield the desired results, and you still experience daily discomfort.
You attempted exercises from online sources like YouTube, but they caused more pain without alleviating the discomfort.

"How Can I Quickly Get Rid Of My Knee Pain?"

Here are four steps you can take:

Make a decision to seek help: Rather than waiting for the pain to subside on its own, take action and seek assistance. Many individuals delay seeking help, hoping the pain will disappear naturally, but the discomfort persists or worsens after months.

Perform the right exercises: Engaging in a proper series of progressive exercises can significantly alleviate knee pain. A skilled Physiotherapist can provide you with tailored exercises that reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent future issues.

Mind your sitting posture: Avoid sitting in awkward positions that strain your knees. Prolonged sitting with bent knees can put undue stress on the joints. Strengthening exercises to improve posture and hands-on treatment can promote a quicker return to an active and healthy lifestyle.

Seek hands-on Physical Therapy: Physical Therapy has effectively addressed knee pain. At Push Through Performance, we regularly assist athletes and active adults with knee pain. If knee pain hinders your work, daily activities, or quality time with loved ones, our Physical Therapy can help you regain control over your life as swiftly as possible.

What People Say About Push Through Performance

I went to see James 5 weeks after having a procedure and just alone from the first session he helped relieve so much pain that I was having in my left arm/shoulder area. What's really nice is that I have a portal which I can log into and see videos of the exercises he taught me which helps when I do the exercises at home. James is very professional and accommodating and wants the best for his patients. On top of going in just for one thing, he really cares about the overall health of each person which anyone can see through the way he talks and his genuine interaction and excitement for health.

I can’t talk positively enough about Dr. Babana’s work. He is the top physical therapist doctor that my child has worked with. He is very professional, has a great work ethic, and he made sure her progress is going great with home program as well. James treats his patients like his own family and truly cares about them. I strongly recommend to get Dr. James as your physical therapist, your progress will excel. He is the greatest there is! Thank you for all your doing Dr. Babana!!

Dr. Babana is a thorough and extremely knowledgeable practitioner. I went to see him for my recurring low back pain. In my past physical therapy experiences to rehabilitate my back, I was repeatedly told not to lift heavy weights when strength training. When I went to see James, he did a thorough examination to identify imbalances and get to the source of my discomfort. James educated me how to strengthen my core, and walked me through spine mobility exercises as well. James taught me how to use gym equipment in a safe manner and empowered me to return to lifting more challenging weight when training. James also did soft tissue work and showed me ways to improve my hip mobility by creating a simple routine for me to follow. I cannot thank James enough for helping me heal and for adding a "toolbox" of exercises to support my back and spine. I feel more confident in the gym and feel grateful to be able to function (pain-free) in my daily life. Thank you, Dr. Babana!

Dr. Babana is a great therapist. As someone who is also a physical therapist, I would easily refer to him for clients who are in the Troon area. He is smart, with great bedside manner, explains things perfectly, and has exceptional hands on skills. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Babana has the hands of an angel! THANK YOU for being persistent and patient with my immobility. The exercises you taught me have improved my physical health in so many ways and now I can dance the night away again! Thank you Dr. Babana!!!

James was very thorough with his examination and ensured i was comfortable the whole time. He takes the time to explain everything were doing in detail. Highly recommend!
