What Are Hip and Knee Pains, and How Are They Caused?

Any type of pain that concentrates around your hip or knee can be referred to as hip or knee pain, respectively. Due to damage, inflammation, or stiffness, you may experience pain originating from the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, or tendons of or around the hip or knee area.

 

While there are numerous reasons for knee or hip pain, some of the most common causes are as follows:

 

Hip – arthritis, bursitis, injuries (fracture, strain, sprain, etc.)

Knee – arthritis, overuse, injuries (fracture, strain, torn ligament, etc.)

How Do We Treat Hip and Knee Pain Through Physiotherapy?

After discussing your symptoms with your doctor, you may be encouraged to seek physiotherapy, depending on the cause and severity of the pain. 

Before you begin working on a recovery plan, you’ll arrange an appointment with one of our therapists to evaluate your symptoms and determine the most suitable physiotherapy techniques. During this session, the therapist will conduct a number of examinations to locate the source of pain, observe any swelling, analyze your gait, and assess muscle strength and mobility.

 

After all the necessary information has been gathered, an individualized rehabilitation programme will be designed for you. Though this plan will differ for each client, you can expect the likes of massages, weight-bearing exercises, and stretching to feature.

 

We also offer physiotherapy for post-op hip replacements and knee replacements.

Hip and knee pain-related physiotherapy works to attain the following objectives:

  • Target and reduce pain and swelling
  • Increase range of motion
  • Improve endurance and function
  • Prevent further or future damage

Benefits of Physiotherapy for Clients With Hip and Knee Pain

Physiotherapy is among the most effective methods of reducing knee or hip pain and can be the primary treatment option or combined with additional remedies, such as assistive devices. Aiding the full recovery of a painful knee or hip is the main benefit of physiotherapy, though it’s not the only one.

  • Treating hip or knee pain through physiotherapy can help you return to your normal routine at a pace that’s right for you. As your therapist continuously assesses your progress, you’ll begin to reintroduce activities without causing further damage to your hip or knee.
  • Depending on the cause of your pain, building up strength and flexibility in your hip or knee throughout your physiotherapy sessions will lower your risk of suffering from similar aches and discomfort moving forward. You’ll also become more aware of how you can avoid repeated damage or injuries.
  • Physiotherapy is a medication-free form of treatment, which is a significant draw for clients who seek practical therapy and prefer to veer away from medicines. It also ensures that painkillers don’t temporarily mask the pain, which can be confused for healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exercise isn’t just a safe way to tackle hip and knee pain but is also central to allowing the body to recover fully. 

 

There are some physical therapy exercises you should consider to help in the recovery of a painful hip or knee; some of these include:

 

  • Hip: hip flexor stretch, hip rotation, leg raise, squat
  • Knee: leg extension, hamstring stretch, calf raise

 

That being said, not all exercises will contribute to effective rehabilitation, so it’s essential to stick to the practices implemented and recommended by your physiotherapist.

There are several misconceptions about physiotherapy when it comes to hip and knee pain, such as:

 

  • Physiotherapy is only for sports-related hip and knee pain.
  • Referrals are required to begin physiotherapy for painful hips or knees.
  • Only severe hip or knee pain requires physiotherapy.

 

Not only are each of these statements untrue, but they can also prevent people from seeking treatment. The best way to find out if physiotherapy is for you is to book a session with a qualified therapist.
