You've tried PT, cortisone, maybe even surgery, but the knee pain keeps coming back. Our robotic therapy is designed to release the tight muscles tugging on your knee with every step. Many clients return to stairs, squats, and the activities knee pain has stolen from them.*
Same-Week Appointments Available
Hours: Mon–Fri 8am–7pm · Sat 8am–4pm
Simple errands become ordeals: Walking through Merrick Park or running errands becomes torture when every step sends sharp, unpredictable pain through your knee, making you freeze mid-stride and search for a place to sit.
Golf and sports slip away: The course at Miami Beach Golf Club or tennis courts become off-limits when your knee can't handle the rotation and impact, forcing you to watch from the sidelines as your active life disappears.
Social life on hold: Dinner at Sushi Maki or walking through Shenandoah Park with family becomes impossible when standing and walking trigger stabbing knee pain that won't quit.
South Florida residents don't have to live this way.
Most people assume knee pain means their joint is wearing out. But chronic muscle tension creates constant pressure, mimicking arthritis symptoms. The problem may not be your joint, but the muscles squeezing it.
Knee pain often shows up during simple activities: climbing stairs, getting out of the car, or walking across a parking lot. Tight muscles yank on your knee joint like a rope pulling in the wrong direction. Your quads, hamstrings, and IT band create this tension with every step, contributing to chronic pain and stiffness. Most treatments focus on the joint itself. Our robotic therapy is designed to release that deep muscle tension with sustained pressure that manual therapy struggles to maintain. Many clients report their knee finally started moving freely once these surrounding muscles were addressed.
Clients often report they can:
Walk up and down stairs without sharp pain stopping them mid-step
Squat down to pick things up without their knee locking or buckling
Return to golf, tennis, and activities they thought were gone for good

Approach: Stretching exercises and strengthening protocols targeting knee and hip muscles
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Can help mild cases but may not release deep chronic muscle tension
PT can help but often struggles to release deep tension in your hip flexors, IT band, and glutes. Many clients tell us they had been to PT on and off with limited lasting improvement.
Approach: Knee replacement surgery (total or partial) to replace damaged joint
Timeframe: 3-12 months recovery, high cost
Effectiveness: Can reduce pain initially but doesn't address muscle dysfunction causing abnormal stress
Knee replacement works for some, but it's irreversible with months of recovery. Pain can return years later if muscle imbalances aren't addressed. Some people prefer to exhaust non-invasive options first.
Approach: Anti-inflammatory steroid shots injected into the knee joint
Timeframe: Relief lasts 2-4 months, repeated injections
Effectiveness: Temporarily reduces inflammation for 2-4 months but wears off
Injections can reduce inflammation, but relief typically lasts 2-4 months. They don't address the tight muscles pulling on your knee. When it wears off, the underlying tension remains.
Your knee sits at the crossroads of powerful muscles
The quadriceps attach above your kneecap through the quadriceps tendon, while the patellar tendon anchors below. Your hamstrings cross behind the knee, and the IT band runs down the outside. When any of these muscles become chronically tight, they change the forces acting on your knee with every step. The joint itself may be fine, but the muscles surrounding it create abnormal pressure and tracking problems. This explains why treatments focused only on the knee joint often miss the real issue.
Great experience at Theramax. I went in for right knee pain and after three session my pain went from an 8 to a 2. After the work day my knee would be in lots of pain and now it no longer is. Great staff and lots of knowledge I highly recommend this place.
(Translated by Google) I'm happy with the robotic treatment. The care was excellent, and Natalia was very caring and explained every step of the procedure very well. I felt relief from my knee pain after two sessions. Thank you to the staff.

"I’ve been training for a marathon, and after a tough 16 mile run, I started experiencing knee pain. I decided to try Theramax, and I’m so glad I did! The team at their Coral Gables location was amazing, friendly and made you feel comfortable as soon as you walked through the door. Their robotic therapy treatments were unlike anything I’ve tried before, and they targeted the exact areas that were causing me discomfort. After just one session, I felt a reduction in my pain, and I was able to continue my training with more confidence. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and really care about your progress. I highly recommend Theramax for anyone dealing with sports-related pain or just looking to enhance recovery. They’ve been a game changer in my marathon training journey!"
"Cassandra has been amazing! Finally cured my knee and foot pain. I had a few injuries in the past that took me out of commission, hence gaining excess weight and putting strain on my joints and muscles. With just a few therapy sessions with high pressure, the pain has slowly subsided. I feel like I can get back to exercise and sports with a few more sessions. Thank you again to the great team here at Theramax for making me feel at ease knowing I'll get back to do what I love."

Many clients tell us the same thing. Surgery replaces the joint but doesn't address muscle imbalances building for years. We focus on surrounding tissue surgery can't touch. Many post-surgical clients say this was the missing piece.
The fear of losing activities you love is real. Whether it's golf, tennis, or walking through Shenandoah Park, many clients ask us this. As muscle tension releases, many feel more stable and confident. We can't promise outcomes, but many return to activities they thought were gone.
Night pain is brutal. Tight muscles stiffen when you stop moving, making lying down more uncomfortable than walking. Tossing, turning, waking exhausted, dreading the next day. Too tired to enjoy weekends at Kaseya Center. As muscle tension releases, sleep is often the first thing that improves.
Robotic muscular therapy is still new. Most orthopedic practices focus on joints, not the muscles pulling on them. We're one of the only clinics in South Florida using this approach. Many clients find us after exhausting traditional options, wishing they'd found us sooner.
This fear is incredibly common, and understandable. The good news: muscle-related knee pain isn't necessarily progressive like joint degeneration. Once tension patterns are addressed, many clients say their knee feels more stable. They're back to walking Shenandoah Park and running errands in Coral Way without constant worry.
