This is a research study examining if hands-on therapy and prescribed exercise is an effective way to manage and reduce knee pain. It will also look at physical benefits of this treatment including balance, strength, and flexibility.
Participation will include 2 assessment days and a 12-week treatment cycle. Assessments will be conducted during week 1 and after treatment. The treatment will vary based on the assigned group. This may include 12 in-person manual therapy sessions occurring once per week and or 12-weeks of at-home therapy occurring 5 times per week.
The greatest risk of participation includes possible muscle/joint soreness, injury during at-home exercises, and loss of confidentiality.
