Hip and Knee Pain
Effective Physiotherapy for Hip and Knee Pain
Do you find it difficult to walk, climb stairs, or even get up from a chair due to persistent hip or knee pain? These joint issues can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. At New Eco Physiotherapy, we specialize in treating hip and knee pain using personalized physiotherapy plans designed to address the root cause of your discomfort.
Understanding Hip and Knee Pain
The hip and knee are two of the most crucial weight-bearing joints in your body. While the hip functions as a ball-and-socket joint, providing rotational movement and stability, the knee operates as a hinge joint, enabling forward and backward motion. Since these joints work together as part of a kinetic chain, pain in one can often lead to issues in the other.
Hip and knee pain may stem from various factors, including:
Injuries: Sprains, strains, ligament tears, and fractures
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis causing joint inflammation
Tendinitis & Bursitis: Inflammation of tendons or bursa sacs due to overuse|
Sciatic Nerve Issues: Nerve compression leading to referred pain
Muscle Imbalances: Weak or tight muscles affecting joint alignment
Gait & Posture Problems: Abnormal walking patterns leading to increased joint stress.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing and treating hip and knee pain. Our skilled physiotherapists assess your condition through a detailed evaluation of joint mobility, strength, posture, and gait. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is created, which may include:
Targeted Strengthening Exercises: Focused exercises to improve joint stability and prevent future injuries
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain
Postural and Gait Correction: Addressing imbalances that contribute to discomfort
Soft Tissue Mobilization: Massage and myofascial release to relieve muscle tension
