Also discussed are common causes of knee pain, the knee’s specific anatomical structures and their unique interface with the nervous system. Assessment methods and effective treatment planning to address knee pain are also explored. Demonstration includes carefully facilitated knee stretches that respect clients’ pain threshold as one possible assessment method, and massage techniques to increase circulation and stability in the knee. Supervised practice reinforces lecture and practical application of techniques.
