EFFECTIVE HIP & KNEE PAIN RELIEF “Don’t Let Pain Postpone Your Adventures!”

Do you find it harder to walk, run, or exercise? Is hip, knee, or leg pain keeping you from being active? If so, understanding how your body walks and moves can be the key to putting the spring back in your step. Put the Spring Back in Your Step. Think of your body as a big spring that stores and releases energy with every step.The efficiency of your walk

Brandi Labhart, PT

comes from the effectiveness of your flexibility, strength, and balance. When any one of these is off, it affects your ability to walk efficiently and takes a lot of energy. This results in increased forces through different joints and makes muscles work much harder than they need to. This leads to possible pain in the back, hips, and knees. It also causes fatigue after walking, even for a little while. If you have finished a course of treatment and you are experiencing pain again, it may be because muscles or joints have tightened or become weak again. The Remedy. The simple solution is to put the spring back in your step. This is accomplished by first analyzing how you walk. There are slight changes in the way that you walk and move, that our trained medical experts can identify. This analysis tells us what joints or muscles are stiff, stuck, or weak. By pinpointing the exact areas of your body that are not moving as they should, we can make a plan to increase motion, strength, and improve coordination. Look inside to learn more about our programs and say good-bye to that aching joint pain!

“I have no more pain and can sleep all night!” “I came to ARI because I was having severe pain in my left knee. I could tell my leg along the outside of my knee did not feel right. Amanda did ASTYM treatments and stretching exercises to my IT band which was really tight and knotted up. She also gave me strengthening exercises to make my muscles stronger in my back and hip which affect the muscles down to my knee. The staff is very helpful in guiding you to do exercises and stretches properly. I have no more pain and can sleep all night! Yay!!” - Marilyn H. Patient Success Spotlight
