HEART OF TEXAS PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP YOU RESOLVE YOUR HIP AND KNEE PAIN! Pain Hold You Back! Don't let Hip or Knee
Are you struggling with hip and/or knee pain? Is hip or knee pain causing you to move slower and leaving you with pain that becomes more difficult to cope with, step after step? When you are dealing with knee or hip pain, every step requires more effort than usual. Pain can drain your energy level as you attempt to do even basic tasks, such as taking care of your home or walking around the office. When hip or knee pain develops, seeking the support of a physical therapist is the best course of action. Working with a physical therapist can reduce your recovery time and improve your ability to cope with the pain and discomfort by introducing you to targeted exercises and stretching techniques that can enhance your ability to recover from the injury. What Is Causing Your Pain? There are several reasons why hip or knee pain may develop from a slip or fall-related accident to a sports injury. Knee pain
is often due to sprains or tears of a ligament(s), cartilage tears, tendonitis, and arthritis. In comparison, hip pain is associated with similar injuries and the result of congenital malformations of the joint, fractures, or bursitis. The main risk factors associated with the onset of hip and knee pain are: • Getting older • Being overweight/obesity • Previous knee injury
Identifying the risk factors for hip and knee joints can be challenging, so getting
a physical therapy assessment is crucial for a good outcome. At Heart of Texas Physical Therapy, our therapists are skilled and identify the source of the issue and help you find a solution.
