Capitol Physical Therapy Announces New Report On Knee Bursitis Physical Therapy

Capitol Physical Therapy, a PT clinic in Washington DC , is happy to announce the release of a new report outlining the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for knee bursitis.

Bursitis is a condition that affects one's bursae. These are small, fluid-filled sacs that reduce the tension between bones and tendons. With bursitis, these bursae become inflamed and agitated. While bursitis can affect any bursa throughout the body, the human knee has eleven different bursae, making knee bursitis a more common condition.

The report outlines that knee bursitis may occur suddenly, as a result of a knee injury, or gradually, from repetitive stress. Since runners and athletes are more prone to both of these, knee bursitis is more common among those populations. Those who work in positions where they kneel for a prolonged length of time are also at greater risk for knee bursitis. This includes cleaners, tilers, flooring installers, and others.

The report further underscores the symptoms of knee bursitis. The most obvious one is pain, but the report further examines the specifics of how this particular knee pain manifests itself.

“Physical therapy for sports injuries plays an important role in knee bursitis recovery,” says Dr. Subha Nagasubramanian, the clinic's owner.“From pain relief to reducing swelling to rebuilding your strength, physical therapy is an ideal treatment for such an injury.”

This report is part of Capitol Physical Therapy's ongoing dedication to providing free access to knowledge on a wide variety of different concerns related to physical health. The full report, titled“Physical Therapy for Knee Bursitis”, is available on the clinic's website.
