Coby Performance helps active adults in Tacoma work through knee pain with one-on-one physical therapy, movement education, strength-based rehab, and exercise progression built around their goals.

Athletic training and movement

Stop guessing. Coby Performance helps you build a plan around your goals, your movement, and the activities you want to keep doing.

Why More Than Rest

Knee Pain Needs More Than Just Rest

Knee pain can show up during stairs, squats, running, hiking, jumping, lifting, sports, or everyday activity. For active people, the frustrating part is not just the discomfort. It is not knowing what movements are safe, what should be modified, or how to progress without making things worse.

Coby Performance helps clients move away from guesswork by looking at movement, strength, loading, activity demands, and goals.

The plan is built to help clients understand what to work on and how to move forward with more clarity.

Knee Pain Challenges Coby Performance Can Help Support

Knee Pain With Squats or Lifting

Knee Pain With Running

For runners dealing with knee discomfort during mileage, speed work, hills, or returning to running after time off. The plan focuses on strength, tolerance, progression, and activity demands.

Knee Pain With Stairs or Daily Activity

For people who feel knee pain during stairs, getting up and down, walking, or everyday movement. The approach focuses on strength, function, and practical movement strategies.

Knee Pain With Hiking or Hills

For hikers and active adults who notice knee discomfort on climbs, descents, uneven terrain, or longer outings. The goal is to build strength, control, and tolerance for the demands of the activity.

Return to Sport After Knee Injury

For teen athletes, active adults, and recreational athletes working back toward training, court sports, field sports, CrossFit, running, or active life.

Recurring or Overuse Knee Pain

The Approach

A Strength and Loading-Based Approach to Knee Pain

Knee pain is not always solved by avoiding movement. Coby Performance looks at how the client moves, how they load the knee, what strength demands are involved, and what activities they want to return to.

Dr. Jordan Coby builds a personalized plan around the client's symptoms, movement, strength, training history, and goals.

Knee pain can affect active people at any age. Coby Performance is built for people who want more than rest—they want to understand what to do next.

The Difference

More Than "Just Rest It"

Rest can be part of the process, but many active people need more than time off. They need to understand what is contributing to the issue, what to modify, how to rebuild strength, and how to progress back toward the activities they care about.
