Hip and Knee Pain
Your hips and knees work together every time you stand, walk, or bend. The hip acts as a ball-and-socket joint that supports the weight of your body, while the knee operates as a hinge joint designed for smooth forward motion.
Move Freely Without Stiffness or Discomfort
Hip or knee pain can turn simple tasks like getting out of a chair, walking up stairs, or lying down to rest into daily challenges. Whether the pain came on suddenly from an injury or slowly developed over time, it can affect your confidence, mobility, and quality of life. At Silver Physio, we help you restore strength, movement, and balance in your hips and knees so you can get back to living comfortably and confidently.
Why Do Hip and Knee Pain Happen?
Your hips and knees work together every time you stand, walk, or bend. The hip acts as a ball-and-socket joint that supports the weight of your body, while the knee operates as a hinge joint designed for smooth forward motion. When one of these joints becomes weak, stiff, or misaligned, the other absorbs extra stress and eventually becomes painful too.
Pain can come directly from the joint or from another area affecting the way you move. Issues such as muscle imbalances, nerve irritation, poor posture, or incorrect walking patterns can place excessive strain on hips and knees, turning a minor problem into long term discomfort.
Common Causes of Hip and Knee Pain
Arthritis
Inflammation inside the joint causes stiffness, swelling, and difficulty moving. Physiotherapy helps manage symptoms and improve function.
Tendinitis
Repetitive stress irritates the tendons, making everyday movements painful. Treatment reduces inflammation and restores strength.
Sprains and Strains
Sudden movements or falls can overstretch ligaments and muscles. Physiotherapy restores stability and helps prevent future injury.
Bursitis
Inflamed fluid-filled sacs around the joint cause tenderness and discomfort. Manual therapy and movement correction ease the pressure.
Labral Tears
Damage to the hip cartilage causes sharp pain and instability. Targeted exercises and joint training support healing and improve movement.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Tight hip muscles affect knee alignment, causing friction and pain along the outer leg. Treatment improves flexibility and biomechanics.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Imbalanced hip and thigh muscles pull the kneecap out of alignment. Strengthening and retraining movement patterns reduce pain and restore control.
What Pre-Surgical Rehab Includes
Pain is not just a symptom. It is a message that something is not moving as it should. Our clinicians begin with a detailed assessment of your posture, gait, flexibility, and muscle strength to identify the root cause of your discomfort. Once we understand what is driving your pain, we create a personalized treatment plan to restore healthy, pain free movement.
Your treatment may include:
- Manual therapy to release tight structures and improve joint alignment
- Strength and conditioning exercises to support your hips and knees during daily tasks
- Movement retraining to correct faulty patterns that overload your joints
- Balance and stability work to prevent falls and reduce re injury risk
- Education on what to expect after surgery and how to protect the surgical area
This approach ensures your joints work together efficiently, reducing strain and helping you move with ease.
