Physical Therapy in North Aurora, Batavia and Aurora for Knee
Welcome to Physical Therapy Advantage's patient resource about knee problems.
The knee is a sensitive area of the body and one that can be injured doing almost any activity. The knee is normally exposed and vulnerable and a simple twist can lead to a serious injury as well as ongoing problems and a long recovery time. Therefore, whether your sport is rugby or racquetball, bowling or badminton, you cannot take chances with this body part.
This section of our site has everything you need to know about preventing or correcting a knee injury. It is our goal to provide you with resources, exercises and other knee related information that will allow you to learn about how easily this sensitive area can be injured.
When you take the necessary steps in preventing an injury, you will enjoy your chosen sport more and avoid Physical Therapy and other painful and time consuming tasks that come with nursing a knee injury.
Physical Therapy Advantage provides services for Physical Therapy in North Aurora, Batavia and Aurora.

“ I am happy to recommend PTA for anyone needing physical therapy. After having a total knee replacement, everyone did their best to get me back on my feet. While they did many things to do that, my body is a tough nut to crack and tkr’s are a long term recovery. Julie, Christine, and Joe are very knowledgeable and will think outside the box to try and get your muscles back to their normal functionality. Thanks to the entire staff for their efforts and hard work. Till we meet again. ”

“ Absolutely love this place! After having patella cadaver surgery being newer to the area I searched and found this GEM.

“ I just wanted to start off by saying I have had nothing but positive experiences at my time with PTA. I started to come here about 4 months ago after undergoing ACL surgery and had recurring appointments every week. Joe, Julie, Shae, and the rest of the staff were informative, understanding, and helpful through every session.Every exercise was tailored to me and my comfort level at the time. One particular machine that I thought was really interesting was their Alter-G treadmill which made running feel like I was on the moon. It helped making me feel lighter so I could start my running motions really early after surgery and I felt the machine helped immensely in my recovery.In addition to being attentive to my physical therapy needs, they helped me on a personal level as well. Being new to the area, the staff was really friendly and helped me find different places around the area to eat and and do other things. They seemed genuinely interested my my life and personal well-being.I would definitely recommend PTA for all your physical therapy needs. ”

“ Joe King and his staff at Physical Therapy Advantage are tremendous. I was diagnosed with a small tear in the meniscus in my right knee several years ago. It was causing me discomfort and making it difficult to do things I found easy previous to the injury. Rather than using the therapist the doctor suggested, I asked to be referred to Joe, who I met through the local Chamber of Commerce. Joe saw me for a number of sessions, did a thorough diagnosis of my problem and performed a number of techniques on the tissues and muscles in my leg that relate to the function of my knee. His explanations of the problem and his solutions were clear and helpful. Just as importantly, he left me with a number of stretches and exercises to maintain the function of my knee. Several years later, I am pain free and have resumed all the activities I enjoyed prior to the injury, including a 530 mile bicycle ride across Iowa--the infamous RAGBRAI. I highly recommend Joe and his staff. ”

“ I live a short distance (Sugar Grove) from Physical Therapy Advantage in N. Aurora. The first time I went to them was for recovery from a partial right knee replacement. This time the same for the left knee. Julie and Matt took great care of me. They got me back into great shape quickly. Would never go anywhere else. ”

“ I have had two great experiences with PTA. First was a hip replacement rehab which was 12 years ago. That experience was excellent so I had no reason to go anywhere else when I needed rehab for a knee replacement I had a few months ago. Joe is a great Physical Therapist, his years of experience and knowledge of the latest techniques gets you back to normal asap. The staff are all professionals and treat you like family. If you are looking for a great place that makes you feel like family with top notch care and results this place is for you! ”

“ I had been dealing with a lot of pain from a torn meniscus in my knee for several months. Physical Therapy Advantage was highly recommended to me. My primary physical therapist was Julie. She worked miracles on me! She used dry needling to help loosen up the muscles in my leg and reduce pain along with other massage technics and exercises that were done in the office and some for me to do at home. Walking, standing & sitting caused me a lot of pain and I could not walk up or down stairs, when I first came in. I can now walk up and down stairs and walk 10,000 steps + a day with minimal pain. Julie, Joe and the whole team at Physical Therapy Advantage were compassionate, patient, caring, educated, professional & determined to help me through this hard time. I highly recommend using them for any of your physical therapy needs. ”

“ I had PT following both knee replacements (R knee replaced 6 months after my L knee). Julie compassionate, professional, always treated me with respect, and she incorporated my input and goals in every aspect of my care. She adapted every session to what I needed. I am living my best life with her ongoing support and guidance. Everyone at the clinic works together to ensure clients recover to the best of their ability. They are inviting, professional, kind, and encouraging. They create a positive and healing atmosphere. I am forever thankful! ”

“ Julie and Joe and all the staff were awesome. They kept me focused and postive after my knee replacement. I only had one really bad day physically and mentally just after I had been back to work but they adjusted my routine for the day to fit me mentally. It was hard to end my PT as I felt they were like family. I miss them all. ”

“ Joe King and his team are top notch. They are experts at listening and evaluating your area of need. In my case it's knee and hip issues. I walk in with pain in my knee, hip or back and after several appointments, I walk out pain free. For me it's muscle tissue massage along with completing the exercises they recommend. I've always had great results with Physical Therapy Advantage and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. ”

“ As compared to other physical therapists and their regimen, I rate PTA superior in every respect. The initial evaluation was thorough and informative. But most important was the protocol for each visit beginning with a 30 minute manipulation/massage performed by Joe or Julie followed by 30 minutes of exercises....varying from visit to visit...specifically selected for my current condition and supervised by an aspiring PT assistant qualified to do so. Can't say enough positive about a team that has helped me through back, knee and leg therapies. ”

“ I had the pleasure of working with the staff at PTA after bilateral knee replacement in 2015, and again after rotator cuff surgery in 2016. Absolutely amazing. Everyone is so positive, fun and upbeat, while encouraging you to work hard and make progress. Julie especially was extraordinary. Even when I wasn't sure I was able to do certain things, she calmly and confidently showed me that I could. I'm hoping to take a break from surgeries, but they would be my go-to place if need be! ”
