Knee Pain

Physical Therapy in Boulder, CO

A woman is performing a barbell squat in a gym while a woman trainer provides guidance. The gym has the word 'REVO' on the wall in the background.

Knee pain can come on suddenly — a twist on the trail, a pop during a workout — or build slowly over months of training, running, or simply climbing stairs. Either way, it changes how you move, and that's exactly where we start.

At Revo, a Doctor of Physical Therapy spends a full 60 minutes assessing not just your knee, but how your hip, ankle, and movement patterns are contributing to the problem. We combine hands-on treatment with objective data — 3D motion capture, force plate testing, and EMG — to find the actual cause of your pain, not just the location of it.

This is one of our specialized physical therapy services. See our full Physical Therapy approach in Boulder.

"Fantastic experience with Revo. Olivia Covin helped me diagnose and resolve some knee pain in just a few sessions, and gave me a multitude of preventative tools and exercises to keep it away. She was thorough in her explanations and answered all of my incessant questions politely and professionally. Very impressed with the precise diagnosis, the thoughtful regimens, and most importantly the knowledge and understanding I gained. Above and beyond. Thank you for helping me learn how to fish for myself until something new breaks! I highly recommend every element of this experience."
