Discussing Hip and Knee Pain with Martin Weinstein PT, MPT, COMT and Kathleen Weinstein PT, DPT.
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 pick up on.This analysis tells us just 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 .
Dear Valued Client,

CAN YOU DO THIS? Find out if you are moving like you should.
Can you do thesesimple tests to see if your hips and legs areas flexibleand strong as they should be? Try them for yourself and let us know how you did. Use caution and common sense when attempting these tests; do not continue if they cause pain or discomfort. Do not attempt if you have had a hip replacement. • From standing, can you touch your toes? This indicates hip and low back flexibility. • In sitting can you comfortably cross your legs so that your ankle is resting on the other knee? Does one knee go further down than the other? This indicates hip flexibility. If one hip is tighter than the other, it can wreck havoc with your walking and even cause knee pain. • Keeping your feet flat on the floor and holding onto something solid, how far can you squat down? You should be able to squat all the way down so your buttocks almost touch your heels. Don’t let your heels pop up! If you favor movement to one side, you probably have hip weakness on that side or limited motion in the hip joint. • Standing near a counter top put one foot in front of the other so that you are touching heel to toe . Without putting your hands down, see if you can balance for 10 seconds, keeping yourself steady. If you cannot, then you have trouble with the coordination of your balance from the nerve endings in your hip, knees, ankles and feet. Restoring Normal Pain Free Motion Restoring normal motion is key to alleviating pain and allowing you to do the activities you love to do safely. Physical therapy is the key to restoring normal joint and muscle motion. Our medical experts pinpoint the key problem areas that you may not even be aware of and focus on a custom treatment plan that will restore your normal pain-free motion. Performing at Your Best Whether you are just out for a walk or an avid athlete, we can help you walk, run and play better. With our motion analysis, strength testing, coordination testing and more, we can spot your muscles and joints that need flexibility, strength or coordination. A specific training and treatment plan is then put together to help you reach your peak movement with the least effort. Discover how our Spine Program transforms your back pain from a pressing problem, to a distant memory, allowing you to live a happy, active and pain-free life.

Patient Success Spotlights I felt the best since my surgery!
“The first laser therapy did not seem to do anything. The treatment is silent, painless and quick. Later that afternoon and the next day, I felt the best since my surgery. My muscles were pain free and loose. I can now grab things off the shelf where the day before my motion was limited. Laser Treatment works. I experienced it first hand!” - Matthew S.
I am now able to walk with less pain!
“On January 23, I received a laser treatment to each knee. At the time, I was experiencing a 5/10 pain and it was reduced to 2/10 and has maintained that way for 2 days. I am now able to walk with less pain. I was pleasantly surprised!” - Fred N.
“The staff was just awesome. Ms Leah was there for me the whole step of the way with my recovery. I can now reach overhead with my left arm after my rotator cuff repair. Thank you very much ESPT!” - Bernard A. I can now reach overhead!
