ARE HIP AND KNEE PAIN AFFECTING YOUR GAIT
Continued from previous page.
An abnormal gait pattern affects how the patient uses their muscles which causes more pain leading to further changes to how you walk. These compensations often exacerbate the problem and lead to a downward spiral and increase abnormal loading on the joints and muscles of the hips and knees.
Fortunately, our therapists can help you correct your faulty gait mechanics and simultaneously reduce the abnormal stresses associated with the hip and knee, resulting in reduced pain and symptoms. Your therapist will choose specific exercises and appropriate range of motion, strengthening, and balance exercises that improve your function without aggravating your pain.
