About hip & knee pain
Your hips and knees carry your body through every step, squat, stair, and transition. Meniscus irritation, patellar tendon pain, hip bursitis, and joint stiffness can create sharp, localized pain.
Because these joints work together in a kinetic chain, one problem often affects the other. Our therapists analyze the full lower extremity to find the mechanics behind your symptoms.
Hip and knee rehab should connect local pain to full-body movement. Strength, mobility, gait, and control all matter when restoring lower-body confidence.
We focus on reducing weight-bearing pain while rebuilding the support your joints need for daily life and exercise.
Why hip & knee pain disrupts your daily life
Lower body pain restricts freedom. Activities that once felt effortless may suddenly require planning, medication, or long periods of rest afterward.
When you limp or alter your stride to avoid pain, you place added stress on your lower back and surrounding joints. Correcting mechanics early helps prevent that domino effect.
- Pain when moving from sitting to standing
- Stiffness on stairs or after walking
- Swelling or locking around the knee
- Aching pain in the hip or groin after activity
