Hip and Knee Pain

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage in the joints wears down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Physical therapists work to reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and help patients maintain an active lifestyle.

Tendinitis is an overuse injury that can occur in any part of the body where tendons connect muscles to bones. Physical therapists work to reduce pain and inflammation, improve flexibility and strength, and help patients modify their training to avoid further injury.

Hip bursitis is a condition in which the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint, become inflamed. Physical therapists work to reduce pain and inflammation, improve strength and flexibility, and promote healthy movement patterns.

The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in the knee that helps to absorb shock and distribute weight. A tear in the meniscus can cause pain and discomfort. Physical therapists work to reduce pain and inflammation, improve range of motion, and promote healthy movement patterns.

The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is one of the most commonly injured ligaments in the knee. Physical therapists work with patients before and after surgery to improve strength and stability, reduce pain and inflammation, and help patients regain their mobility and confidence.
