Have you been told…..
To endlessly stretch your Quads and Hamstrings
To never let your knees go over your toes
do an obscene amount of clamshells and bridges “to activate” your glutes
ice, Rest & use a knee brace
To stop running or lifting
….in order to fix your knee problem?
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. I hear all of these statements on a daily basis, from frustrated new clients. Here’s how my philosophy is different.
Sole PT’s Philosophy
The knees are surrounded by a number of muscles that all need to work together as a team. When there is an imbalance of these muscles or elsewhere in the body it can often times show up as knee pain. One of the best things you can do for your body is to teach your knees to be knees again and make them resilient. Dr. Simon feels….
Many knee issues stem from hips and feet that don’t move well
knees are meant to bend and rotate (yes, your knee rotates) and need to be Trained That way
Most knees need more hamstring strength, not stretching, to Fix Imbalances
Proper mechanics, strength, and gradual introduction to new activities is essential for avoiding injuries
A Knee issue is never just a Knee issue!

A Message From Owner, Eryn Simon
Have you tried all the “quick fixes” you found on the internet or followed suggestions provided by your doctor and still haven’t seen results? I was just like you, frustrated by chronic pain that kept me from fully enjoying the sports I loved and limiting my full potential. This frustration led me down the path to becoming a physical therapist in the hopes of helping others avoid a similar experience. It has become my mission to help individuals remain active and avoid all unnecessary medical procedures. You don’t have to sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed. That’s why we made this free guide just for you.
There is still more that can be done and we’re here to show you the way. Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action. The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, your foot pain won’t get better. So the next important thing is to take action!
