Don’t sacrifice the active lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed. That’s why we made this just for you.
A Message From GMR, Knee Pain Specialists
Dear Frustrated Reader With Back Pain,
- Are you tired of knee pain that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much rest, exercise , or stretching you’ve been told to do?
- Are you worried about the ache in your knee affecting your workouts and running routine?
- Do you ever feel sharp pain in the knee that makes you miss out on some of your favorite activities?
- Are you concerned with the fact that things like physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, or acupuncture haven’t worked and may have even made it worse?
- Does you knee pain affect your ability to go up/down stairs as well as squat pain free?
- Are you frustrated when you try to go back to your workout, running, or your normal fitness routine only to have your knee pain flare up on you again?
If any of this sounds like you and you are looking to get permanent healing from your injury or get rid of the pain you are experiencing then you have come to the right place.
The amount of people dealing with knee pain seems to be increasing each day leaving many active individuals frustrated, depressed, and worried.
The real shame of the matter is that so many people suffer from knee pain and are often told:
- “You’ll just have to live with it”
- “Put some tape on it or wear a brace….it’s just part of getting old”
- Just “rest for a little” and “see what happens”.
- Take these pills (which can be addictive) or get an injection (which only masks the symptoms).
- “You just need to “stretch” the tight muscles”
However healing knee pain just isn’t that simple……
……and if you are really struggling to keep healthy, fit, and active and just want to get back to your normal active lifestyle
…..then you have come to the right place…..
At Green Mountain Rehab & Sports Medicine, We Help People Stay Active & Quickly Recover from Pain or Injury, so they can Be Stronger at What They Love to Do. (Without Slowing Down, Relying on Painkillers or Going to the Doctor.)
We understand that it can be difficult to know exactly what you should when dealing with a knee pain. There’s SO many options out there and you may have already tried a few.
But if you are still dealing with knee pain here are several reasons why it could be lasting longer than it should:
- You thought it would go away on it’s own with rest but it didn’t
- You went to the Doctor who gave you some pain meds or even worse……told you to stop exercising
- A family member told you that you should get used to the pain as you are “just getting older”
- You saw another physical therapist or healthcare provider but nothing they said or did seemed to have long lasting relief
- You decided to self treat through ice, heat, and YouTube exercises but none of those worked and even made it worse!
- You got a series of injections that left you disappointed and the pain still there.
If any of this has happened to you and you are afraid of what might happen if you make another wrong decision then we would love to help by inviting you to schedule a FREE phone call to talk to a Physical Therapist to find out what can be done to help you.
Just because you tried many treatments before that didn’t work doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution for you.
When It Comes to Treating Something Serious Like Knee Pain…
When it comes to treating knee pain the BIGGEST MISTAKE that is often made (by Doctors included) is treating the symptom of pain and not going through the necessary process of understand the true “root cause” of the problem
Our goal at Green Mountain Rehab is to not only get rid of your pain, but teach you how to treat yourself, let your body heal naturally, and give you a permanent fix to your problem.
At Green Mountain Rehab We Use a Unique Approach to Help You Get Rid of Your Pain and Make It Stay Away
Step #1 - We Want to Listen to Your Story
This is one of our BIGGEST pet peeves. Nobody listens to the patient anymore (it’s all about maximizing billing, following company procedure, and being “efficient”). Here’s a thought…….how about listen to the patient for once.
Today’s healthcare system is stacked against you and often does not provide the solutions that you need. 15 minute doctor visits, standardized care where you feel rush, and lack of communication between you and your healthcare provider just won’t get you the results that you want.
There is NO one size fits all treatment for knee pain and taking the time to listen to your goals and problems is the single most important step before starting any sort of treatment. We want to make sure that you are comfortable working with us and that we feel you are a good fit for our clinic.
Step #2 - Find THE ROOT CAUSE
Each person is unique and thus their injury and pain is unique to them. What works for your friend or loved one may not necessarily work for you. All too often treatments are directed ONLY at the site of pain.
But is that where the pain is actually “coming from?”……
More often than not the answer is NO. The pain is actually being caused by a different area of the body. This could be caused by a lack of strength in a muscle, poor flexibility in the joints, or faulty movement patterns.
Undergoing a proper assessment to figure out what the “root cause” of the pain is the second most important step to get you the lasting relief you need in order for you return to a normal and active lifestyle.
Treating symptoms will get you temporary relief and feeling “OK”……..but……treating the root cause is where you get the PERMANENT relief that you want.
Step #3 - TEACH YOU TO TREAT YOURSELF
Have you ever had to rely upon multiple weekly visits to get the treatment you need? Causing you to spend more of your time and money than you would like?
The truth of the matter is that multiple visits per week is often NOT necessary to heal from injury/pain despite what you’ve been told.
At Green Mountain Rehab we give you everything you need at each stage of your rehab to work on at home so you can provide an optimal healing environment for your pain/ injury.
You’ll know exactly what exercises, stretches, and techniques you should be working on at home. You will have the tools you need to help treat yourself.
This way you can maximize the time spent out of the clinic working on whats most important to you…….living an active lifestyle worry free of any knee pain
We offer a Free 30 Minute discovery visit at NO risk to you. You can come in to meet us so we can have an honest conversation about what your problem is, your struggles, what you would like to achieve, and for us to decide if we would be a good fit to work together. You’ll walk a way with a better idea of what is going on and what you need to do about it.
You don’t have to sacrifice your active lifestyle over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
GREEN MOUNTAIN REHAB & SPORTS MEDICINE STAFF

Alex T., Burlington: Overcame knee surgery.
Jess M., Burlington: Overcame knee injury.
“I’m not even sure where to start! Christine has seen me through more injuries than I care to admit to having. Each of them totally derailed me from what I wanted to be doing: running around in not-at-all straight lines playing Ultimate Frisbee. Each time I got sidelined due to my innate and outstanding ability to hurt myself, Christine and all the people at Green Mountain Rehab were there to pick me back up and get me back to playing again.
My most recent knee injury was pretty devastating, especially coming at the start of our season. I was at Green Mountain Rehab from the get go, and Christine worked with me each week (often twice a week) to coach me in how to strengthen and prevent further injury. Working with her has left me in a better place since, mostly because she taught me skills that I continue to use though I have officially graduated. Would I own as much gym equipment with Christine assigning me such thorough workouts? Heck no. Would I ever foam roll without her notifying me about how good it would be in the long run? Absolutely not. Would I have rushed through the process and reinjured myself without Christine patiently overseeing my recovery and gently, but sternly, reminding me to not take it too fast? Almost certainly.
The short version of this story is that without these guys, I would probably still be in pieces. And still hate foam rolling instead of begrudgingly accepting it. Because of them I am happily zig-zagging around fields chasing a plastic disc again!”
Maddy K., Burlington: Overcame knee surgery.
“Before coming to PT, I was scared of even taking my brace off. I felt so weak that I thought the brace was the only thing keeping me from tearing my ACL again. After my first session of PT, I was riding the bike without my brace and saw improvements like that each week.
Andy helped me feel comfortable and strong each week to the point where I could walk with one crutch and now, as I am leaving back to college, I’m walking without crutches and no limp!
All thanks to the wonderful crew at Green Mt Rehab.”
