What is it?
Hip and knee pain can manifest as discomfort, stiffness, or sharp sensations in the hip or knee joint regions, often limiting mobility and impacting daily activities. Various factors can contribute to hip and knee pain, including injury, overuse, degenerative conditions, and underlying medical issues. Additionally, issues like muscle imbalances, poor biomechanics, obesity, and age-related changes can exacerbate hip and knee pain.

What to expect
Pre-operatively, physical therapy aims to optimize joint function, strengthen surrounding muscles, and educate patients on post-operative exercises and rehabilitation protocols to enhance surgical outcomes. Post-operatively, therapy plays a crucial role in facilitating recovery, reducing pain and inflammation, and restoring normal movement patterns through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and modalities. For overuse injuries and general pain, physical therapy interventions include strengthening exercises, stretching, joint mobilization, and biomechanical assessment to identify and address underlying issues contributing to pain and dysfunction.
