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.

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.

You can access physiotherapy from wherever you wish, whether it’s in your house or condo, hospital or long-term care facility or retirement home.

  Thanks you to Get Right Physio and especially Sabrina for getting my 90 year old mother back on her feet after hip replacement surgery. I was very pleased with the company’s professional expertise and for sending us the right therapist for my mother. Sabrina was very kind, knowledgeable and understanding. I would not hesitate to use the company again.

  Claudia and her team were instrumental in rehabilitating my mom after her stroke. Claudia is a true professional with a wealth of knowledge but she also has a genuine kindness that instantly put my mom at ease. Claudia has a personalized approach, she took the time to understand not just the physical aspects of my mom's condition but also her unique needs and goals. Claudia communicates clearly and prioritized my mom's safety and wellbeing. Her home exercises and practical tips helped to integrate rehabilitation seamlessly into our daily lives.  My family and I are grateful for Claudia's hard work with my mom.
