FIND RELIEF FOR KNEE AND HIP PAIN (continued from outside) Put the Spring Back in Your Step

INSIDE:

Think of your body as a big spring that stores and releases energy with every step.The efficiency of your walk 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 strain to different joints and makes muscles work much harder than they need to, which leads to possible pain in the back, hips, and knees. It also causes fatigue after walking, even for a little while. The Remedy When you walk, run and move, your hip and knee work together to allow you to move fluidly and accurately. When one of these joints and the associated muscle groups that make themmove are not working properly, pain can occur in different parts of the leg. Hip pain can leave you with limited movement and make walking painful. This pain may radiate to the groin, buttock or thigh. 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 the trained medical experts at Innovative Physical Therapy Solutions can pick up on.
