Is Knee Pain Holding You Back?
You've tried rest, ice, and generic exercises from YouTube—but the pain keeps coming back. You're frustrated by cookie-cutter approaches that don't address your specific goals or activity level.
Avoiding stairs, squats, or your favorite runs
because of sharp or nagging knee pain that derails your training
Stuck in the cycle of temporary relief
 followed by setbacks every time you push yourself toward your goals
Told to "just rest" or "stop running"
without a real plan to get back stronger than before

What Columbus Clients Are Saying
<>Lily Mank
"I had been struggling with chronic low back for most of my 20's. I had tried other PT's but never made much progress and was told by doctors that I would be in pain for the rest of my life. Matt was the first professional to give me hope that I could manage my pain through surprisingly simple exercises."
Noah Latshaw
"Athletes' Potential has helped me on multiple occasions for years. I've been to in-network PT practices but the experiences were sub-par. After 3 sessions with Dominic, we not only fixed my pain but were attacking the root cause instead of just managing the symptoms."
Emily Knuth
"Now, I'm back to working out pain-free and, for the first time in years, I feel confident being active again! I was told I had spinal instability and felt like I'd never be able to work out again and worried about needing another surgery."
