Your Knee Pain Shouldn't Keep You From Living Your Life
Knee injuries and chronic pain change everything. They sideline you from the activities that matter most.
Benched From Your Sport
Struggling With Daily Movement
Frustrated by Slow Progress
Your knee pain keeps you off the basketball court, soccer field, or running trail. The activities that make you feel like yourself are suddenly out of reach.
Climbing stairs, getting out of bed, or walking the dog causes discomfort. Simple tasks shouldn't be this difficult or painful.
You've tried rest, ice, and basic exercises, but nothing creates lasting improvement. You deserve a treatment approach that actually works.

Elleke Haggerty
"Sam is incredibly talented. I worked with him pre-knee surgery to prepare and get the best post-surgery outcome. He brings his professionalism and next-level care to every appointment. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a sports injury."
Amy Farber
"I came to Sam in preparation for a total right hip replacement. I began working with him several days a week, six weeks before surgery. My surgery was on a Thursday, and I was back with Sam just four days later. His knowledge, encouragement, and ability to customize treatment to my individual needs have been second to none. Thanks to Sam, I was off the walker and driving again in under two weeks."
Brianna Perfetuo
"I injured my left shoulder via general overuse. I couldn't bench press, overhead press, or do push ups without serious pain. I met Sam at the gym in November 2024 and decided to give him a shot after glowing reviews from others. I saw him weekly for a couple months and under his guidance and expertise, was back to doing what I used to in the gym with minimal pain in just a couple months."

Common Questions About Knee Pain Physical Therapy
What should I expect during my first knee pain physical therapy
appointment? Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation where we assess your knee pain, range of motion, strength, movement patterns, and medical history. We'll identify the root cause of your pain — not just treat symptoms — and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals and activity level. Most initial evaluations last 60 minutes.
​
Do you accept insurance for physical therapy in Hanover?
We work with most major insurance plans. Contact our office at (781) 205-9337 and we'll verify your specific coverage and benefits. We're committed to making quality physical therapy accessible and will work with you to understand your out-of-pocket costs before starting treatment.
​
How is your approach different from other physical therapy clinics near me?
You receive one-on-one attention every single session with Sam Webb, a board-certified sports clinical specialist. Unlike clinics where you rotate between therapists or share your appointment time, you get personalized care focused entirely on your recovery. Sam completed his sports residency at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and brings advanced expertise in treating knee injuries, ACL rehab, and sports-related conditions.
​
What is dry needling and how does it help knee pain?
Dry needling is an evidence-based technique that targets trigger points and tight muscles contributing to your knee pain. Thin needles are inserted into specific areas to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Many patients experience immediate relief, especially for conditions like IT band syndrome, patellar tendinitis, and muscle imbalances affecting the knee. Sam has advanced training in this technique.
​
How long does knee pain physical therapy take?
Recovery timelines vary based on your specific condition, injury severity, and goals. Some patients see significant improvement in 4-6 weeks, while post-surgical ACL rehabilitation typically takes 4-6 months to return to full sport activity. During your initial evaluation, we'll provide a realistic timeline based on your unique situation and work together to get you back to what you love as efficiently as possible.
​
Can I schedule a free consultation before committing to treatment?
Yes! We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where you can discuss your knee pain, ask questions about our approach, and determine if we're the right fit for your needs. This no-obligation conversation helps you make an informed decision about your care. Call (781) 205-9337 or visit our website to schedule.
