Knee Pain

Struggling with Knee Pain?

Do you experience knee pain that makes walking, running, or exercising difficult?
Has knee discomfort stopped you from doing the activities you love?
Are you tired of treatments that only provide temporary relief?
Do you want a lasting solution to restore strength and mobility?

If you answered yes, you’re not alone. At RX Physical Therapy in Wayne, NJ, Charles Ferruzza, PT, DPT, is here to help you overcome knee pain and regain an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Why Knee Pain Can Be So Debilitating

Your knees are essential for movement, stability, and support. When they’re in pain, even simple tasks like climbing stairs, standing up, or playing sports can become a challenge. Ignoring knee pain can lead to more severe problems and long-term mobility limitations.

But you don’t have to live with chronic knee pain. There are effective, natural solutions available.

Common Approaches to Knee Pain That May Not Work

Many people try these methods, but they often don’t provide long-term relief:

Resting Too Much: While short-term rest may help, prolonged inactivity can lead to muscle weakness and further pain.
Applying Ice or Heat: This may offer temporary relief but won’t address the root cause.
Relying on Pain Medication: Medications may mask symptoms but won’t fix the underlying problem.
Ignoring the Pain: Hoping it will go away on its own can lead to chronic discomfort and reduced mobility.

If you’ve tried these and are still struggling, it’s time for a different approach.

Why Rest Alone Won’t Solve Knee Pain

Resting without addressing muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, or joint dysfunction won’t provide lasting relief. You need a targeted treatment plan that gets to the root of your pain.

What People Say About RX Physical Therapy

Adult Athlete -Former Patient “Before finding Charles I was in a state of constant pain. I had been dealing with hip pain for a little over a year and it was really taking a toll. It really debilitated my fitness, sleep, motivation, and confidence. I was in and out of the doctor’s office…..my pcp, ortho doc who actually recommended surgery or reduce physical activity, and several physical therapists, but none could provide relief. When I found Charles, I was at my lowest, based on previous experiences but also hopeful given a recommendation from a close friend who had great results. My biggest goal of course, pain relief, but running and squatting as well. Within weeks of my first visit, I had finally found relief! Charles created a great trust by demonstrating not only his ability to diagnose my pain but also address issues surrounding what was creating my symptoms. Now I’m running, squatting and pain free while exceeding all my physical goals that I didn’t think I’d ever be able to achieve.”

Long Snapper- Chicago Bears “Throughout my 8 year NFL career I have had multiple injuries and as a result I have been treated by many physical therapists. Charles is by far one of the best I’ve ever worked with. His overall attention to detail and knowledge of the body is impressive. He helped me recover from a torn ACL in a safe and effective manner. As a patient it was important to me that my therapist had my best interests in mind and that’s exactly what Charles did. He knows when and how to work a client hard but more importantly, he knew when to pull back, yet still progress and use effective treatments. I would highly recommend using Charles for any physical therapy needs.”
