They tend to train you in the way they might have trained themselves. Despite that your goals, and style preferences might be a lot different. Many of them are just plain dumb.
But you find good ones (probably older ones with degrees). You can probably just go into physical therapy complaining about knee pain -- and they might help with that specific issue (probably putting to much weight on quads and not the posterior chain) better than a personal trainer.

Almost every encounter I have with a personal trainer I'm just like stop talking dude. They're like the gnc sales persons of the gym. Sounds like they know what they're talking about to people who don't know any better.
Physical therapy is definitely another route to go for the knee pain if it doesn't get any better resting it. They can give you some good tips on how to prevent injury as well. If it wasn't for my physical therapy I probably wouldn't be going hard as I am in the gym yet.
