What Our Macon Patients Say About Their Knee Pain Recovery

Matthew Michael

Jennifer Simmons

Jennifer Simmons

"Call Josh! I'm a long distance runner and was having some significant knee pain. I couldn't run past 4 miles without radiating pain in and around my kneecap. After four weeks, I was able to return to my training plan. I went from terrible pain to being able to complete my 20-mile long run for three weeks in a row, nearly pain free."

"I came in with chronic knee and lower back pain and was nervous to start physical therapy again. From day one, Josh took the time to truly understand my pain and how it was impacting my daily life. Each session is customized, and he works with you one-on-one the whole time. That kind of personalized attention is rare and it made all the difference."

 "Arrived home from a long trip with a sprained knee (slipped on ice). Signed up for 10 sessions. The knee regimen called for strengthening specific muscle groups. Happy to report that both areas recovered nicely and I am on a long term plan to continue strengthening. Josh was super fun to work with."

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about knee pain physical therapy in Macon? We've got answers.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of your knee injury and your activity level. Many of our patients start seeing significant improvement within 4-6 weeks. For example, runners with knee pain often return to training within 4 weeks and complete long-distance runs pain-free by 6 weeks. During your free phone consultation, we'll discuss realistic timelines based on your specific condition. 


No! Georgia allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule an appointment with us without a doctor's referral. You can start treatment immediately and avoid the wait time and cost of unnecessary doctor visits. 


Most insurance plans cover physical therapy services. We accept many major insurance providers. During your free phone consultation, we'll discuss your insurance coverage and payment options. Our goal is to make quality care accessible and affordable.


We provide true one-on-one care. When you come to Elite Movement Specialists, you'll spend the entire hour with your doctor of physical therapy—not passed off to an aide or tech. You'll receive customized treatment plans, weekly workout videos emailed directly to you, and 24/7 access to your PT for questions. Our doctors specialize in performance-based rehab, dry needling, and manual therapy to get you back to your activities faster.


 

In many cases, yes! Physical therapy is often the first line of treatment for knee pain, and research shows it can be just as effective as surgery for conditions like meniscus tears, patellar tendonitis, and osteoarthritis. We'll work to eliminate your pain and restore function naturally. If surgery is necessary, we'll guide you through that decision and provide expert post-op rehab.
