Knee Pain

Knee pain can feel sharp, achy, stiff, or just plain unreliable—especially when running, squatting, climbing stairs, or getting up after sitting. Most patients come to us after trying rest, ice, stretching, or even post-surgical rehab… but the pain still keeps coming back.

These symptoms are often linked to conditions like patellar tendon adhesions, IT band syndrome, quadriceps or hamstring dysfunction, chronic stiffness after surgery, or non-surgical meniscus irritation.

You might notice:

• Pain going up or down stairs—especially early in the morning

• Stiffness after sitting for long periods

• Achy, tight knees after a workout (even if you warmed up)

• Sharp pain at the front of the knee during squats or kneeling

• Discomfort with lunges or any weight-bearing exercise

These issues are frequently driven by adhesions—tiny areas where soft tissue sticks together and limits the knee’s ability to move smoothly. Adhesions don’t show up on imaging, but they do restrict motion, overload nearby structures, and stall healing.

At Resolve STS in Charlotte, we use precise Adhesion Release Methods to identify which tissues are restricted, release them by hand, and confirm improvements in real time—often creating noticeable change within just a few treatments.
