Who This Is For
High Performance Is Your Standard… But Your Knee Is Holding You Back.
You train hard. You move with intention. You live at full speed.
But now every step, every squat, every hill comes with hesitation.
That sharp pain when you climb stairs or get out of the car.
The tightness that builds during workouts or long days on your feet.
The swelling or instability that holds you back from pushing further.
This isn’t just wear and tear. It’s a performance problem that needs a smarter solution.
We Help People Who:
- Are dealing with knee pain that’s limiting workouts, walking, or active living.
- Were told to take anti-inflammatories, try cortisone, or “wait for it to get worse.”
- Tried physio, taping, or rest, but still feel restricted.
- Refuse to rely on braces, painkillers, or consider surgery as the only option.
- Expect their knees to match their ambition—on the field, in the gym, or in daily life.
Whether it’s Patellar Tendonitis, Meniscus Strain, Ligament Sprains, or Early Knee Osteoarthritis, your momentum is compromised.
You can’t squat deep.
You can’t run, lunge, hike, or play without pain.
Pickleball, golf, tennis, even simple walks or travel start to feel like a chore.
We don’t mask knee symptoms; we fix the root dysfunction.
We rebuild, restore, and rewire the knee to move with strength, stability, and confidence.
If you’re ready to reclaim your power, agility, and performance, this is for you.
What Causes Knee Pain?
As we age, the soft tissues that stabilize and protect the knee, like ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, begin to lose their elasticity and structural integrity. Years of walking, squatting, training, or even sitting in poor alignment can silently wear these tissues down and lead to outer or inner knee pain.
What starts as mild discomfort after exercise can quickly turn into stiffness, clicking, swelling, or knee pain when bending with basic movement. Most clients we see in Oakville and the GTA didn’t have a major injury— just years of unnoticed overload, poor tracking, or undiagnosed sprains that were never fully healed, often resulting in pain on inside of knee or pain behind the knee.
At Peak Health VIP, we don’t wait until knee surgery is your only option. Using diagnostic ultrasound, regenerative therapy, and functional rebalancing, our knee specialist in Oakville provides non surgical knee pain treatment to restore strength and stability— without cortisone, anti-inflammatories, or invasive procedures.
Conditions We Treat at Our Knee Clinic in Oakville
Achieve lasting relief and peak performance with evidence-based regenerative treatments for Knee pain, delivered with personalized, high-level care.
IT Band Syndrome
Outer knee pain often results from friction between the iliotibial band and femur, typically triggered by repetitive running, squatting, or cycling, especially in those with poor hip or glute stability. Though often blamed on tightness, the real knee pain causes weak hips or glutes. We focus on treating the root mechanics for long-term knee pain relief and restoring movement.
Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee)
Anterior knee pain and stiffness from overuse of the patellar tendon often affects active adults over 35. Triggered by jumping, lunging, or stair climbing, it causes pain below the kneecap due to tendon inflammation or degeneration. Left untreated, it can become chronic. We use regenerative knee pain treatment to rebuild tendon integrity and correct faulty mechanics.
Baker’s Cyst
Swelling and pain in back of knee can occur often due to fluid buildup from joint irritation, arthritis, or meniscus tears. It may feel like a bulge or tightness when bending or straightening the knee, and can limit movement. Instead of just draining the cyst, we treat the internal inflammation, preventing its recurrence and supporting lasting knee pain relief.
Meniscus Tears
Inner or outer knee pain with locking or catching often stems from cartilage tears caused by twisting, pivoting, or squatting. Common in adults over 35, these are often degenerative, not traumatic. Symptoms include sharp pain and reduced motion. We use regenerative knee pain treatment and biomechanical correction to restore function without undergoing knee surgery.
Knee Osteoarthritis
General knee pain and stiffness result from cartilage wear caused by old injuries or poor movement patterns leading to early degeneration. This cartilage breakdown causes pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Early treatment with regenerative medicine can slow damage, reduce inflammation, and preserve joint space, helping most clients avoid knee surgery.
Advanced Modalities We Use To Treat Knee Pain Injuries
From knee pain that is limiting you from participating in sports to doing your hobbies, or everyday activities, and office work. Our treatments are focused on regeneration, so you can do what you enjoy doing.
Shockwave Therapy
Clinically shown to reduce chronic tendon pain, shockwave therapy is used first at Peak Health VIP to break down scar tissue and prime the area for regenerative treatment.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Peak Health VIP combines HA with pre-treatment shockwave or prolotherapy to boost absorption, extend relief, and enhance joint lubrication in active patients.
Nerve Entrapment Release (PIT)
Peak Health VIP relieves nerve pain, tingling, or weakness post-injury by releasing compressed nerves for faster recovery.
Prolotherapy
Strengthens loose or damaged ligaments, especially after sprains. Peak Health VIP combines it with shockwave for stronger joint stability and faster healing.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Our PRP delivers 15–18 billion platelets per treatment, over triple the volume of standard kits for joint pain, tendon tears, cartilage and meniscus injuries.
Ultrasound
Peak Health VIP uses dynamic ultrasound imaging to stress-test ligaments and tendons during movement, not just static scans like most clinics rely on.
Supplementation
Targeted supplements support recovery, inflammation control, and tissue repair, personalized based on your lab results and injury type for optimal outcomes.

Top FAQs – Knee Pain
What causes knee pain in people over 35?
The most common causes include tendonitis, ligament strain, or postural imbalance. Previous injuries even from your 20s can resurface as inflammation and degeneration in your 40s and 50s.
Is knee pain always coming from the joint itself?
Not always. Pain may also originate from surrounding structures (like tendons or bursae) or even be referred from the hip, lower back, or foot mechanics. A precise physical exam is crucial to localize the true cause.
Why is my knee stiff in the morning or after sitting?
This is often an early sign of joint inflammation, typically due to cartilage inflammation or poor circulation. It tends to worsen with age but is very responsive to movement, circulation work, and regenerative treatment when caught early.
Should I be worried if my knee clicks or pops?
Not necessarily. Clicking is common, especially if the kneecap isn’t tracking properly. However, if it’s painful, swollen, or causes instability, it may indicate meniscus injury or arthritis that needs further assessment.
What are early signs of knee arthritis?
Pain with stairs, stiffness in the morning, swelling after activity, and trouble squatting are common. Arthritis can begin well before changes appear on X-ray especially in active or athletic individuals over 35.
I’ve tried physio and cortisone. Why does the pain keep coming back?
Because those are surface-level solutions. If the root causes like instability, inflammation, or aren’t addressed, the symptoms will return. We focus on treating the underlying breakdown, not just the flare-up.
Can a past sports injury cause knee problems now?
Yes. Old injuries can leave behind scar tissue, cartilage damage, or altered movement patterns. These silent imbalances accelerate wear-and-tear later in life—especially if untreated or masked with medications.
Is my weight contributing to my knee pain?
Possibly. Overweight increases joint pressure and systemic inflammation. But it’s not just about the number on the scale, hormonal and gut health also influence fat distribution, water retention, and pain sensitivity.
What treatments actually heal the knee instead of masking pain?
Treatments like PRP, prolotherapy, or hormone-based joint repair aim to restore tissue health, not just numb pain. At Peak Health VIP, we combine regenerative injections with systemic optimization for faster, longer-lasting recovery.
Will I eventually need surgery?
Not necessarily. Many clients avoid surgery with early intervention with regenerative therapy and functional correction. The key is not to wait until the damage is “bone-on-bone.” Intervening early often saves the joint.
Is exercise safe with knee pain?
Yes, with guidance. Low-impact activity (like walking, swimming, or cycling) improves circulation and reduces stiffness. The wrong type of exercise can aggravate pain, so personalized movement planning is essential.
How long until I feel better once I start treatment?
It depends on the severity and your overall health. Most people notice a difference within 2–6 weeks when we correct the root causes (inflammation, hormones, gut) and stimulate joint repair. Full results often build over 3–6 months.
What makes your clinic’s approach different?
We don’t just treat the joint, we treat the person. Our method addresses inflammation, movement quality, and tissue regeneration as one integrated system. That’s why clients see results where other clinics fall short.
