  1. MOVE WITH EASE ONCE AGAIN BY FINDING RELIEF FOR YOUR HIP AND KNEE PAINS

  2. PAIN IN THE HIPS AND KNEES – WHAT’S CAUSING IT? Your hips and knees do a lot of work over the course of a lifetime. These joints must withstand the majority of your body weight — not just when you’re standing still, but also as you walk, run, climb or jump. It’s not surprising, then, that a variety of ailments and injuries can plague the knee and hip joints. YOUR PAIN AND STIFFNESS MAY BE CAUSED BY: Osteoarthritis – Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of the cartilage that normally keeps the bone ends in a joint from rubbing together. The resulting friction causes chronic pain and inflammation. Bursitis – Both the hips and knees have fluid-filled sacs called bursae that prevent friction between bones and soft tissues. Unfortunately, these sacs can become inflamed from overuse, a painful condition called bursitis. Strains, sprains, and ruptures – The knee and hip joints can move thanks to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Repetitive motion or acute injuries can cause a strain (damage to muscles or tendons) or a sprain (hyperextension of a ligament). Athletes are vulnerable to ruptures of the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).

  3. “Runner’s knee” – An unstable kneecap can lead to chronic knee pain. This condition is known as patellofemoral syndrome or “runner’s knee.” HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY RELIEVE MY HIP AND KNEE PAINS? Your physical therapist can prescribe exercises aimed at addressing your specific condition, such as: KNEE LIFTS HIP ROTATIONS HEEL-TO-BUTTOCK EXERCISES MINI-SQUATS LEG LIFTS HAMSTRING CURLS STEP EXERCISES Original Source : https://clearcutortho.com/move-with-ease- once-again-by-finding-relief-for-your-hip-and-knee-pains/
