Knee Pain:

An SOS Signal from Your Body’s Systems

Knee pain isn’t just about your knee—it’s your body’s way of signaling that something deeper is going on. At R3 Physio, a leading provider of holistic physical therapy in Keller, we understand that pain is rarely isolated to one area. Instead, it’s often the result of a chain reaction happening elsewhere in your body.

What’s Really Causing Your Knee Pain?

Many times, knee pain starts somewhere else—like your hips, feet, or even with an airway function issue. For example:

  • A weak hip might put extra stress on your knee when you squat, climb stairs, or run.

  • But why is that hip weak? It could be due to an old injury affecting your hip, spine, or SI joint.

  • Or the root cause might be deeper—digestive issues or airway dysfunction could lead to tight fascia, causing your muscles to compensate and putting undue strain on your knee.

A Whole-Body Approach to Pain Relief

At R3 Physio, we take an integrated approach, looking beyond the pain point to understand how other systems in your body might be contributing to your discomfort. Our specialized services, such as visceral manipulation, help to address restrictions in the fascial system that could be affecting your knee health.

Why This Matters

When pain is treated in isolation, the underlying problem often persists, leading to recurring issues. However, by considering the whole body, we uncover patterns that help us treat not just the pain but the entire system that caused it in the first place. Our non-traditional treatment focuses on finding long-term solutions by considering multiple factors, including the nervous system and musculoskeletal function.
