FIND RELIEF FOR YOUR KNEE AND HIP PAIN
What causes knee and hip pain? If you are experiencing hip pain, it is likely that there is a problem with your hip joint. When this happens, you will experience pain inside of your hip, or in your groin area. If you are experiencing pain outside of your hip, in your upper thigh, or buttock region, then it is likely that there is a problem with the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or soft tissues surrounding the hip joint. Regardless of where the pain is stemming from, hip pain is typically caused by injury or strain to the joint or surrounding regions; however, the pain can also be due to an underlying disease, such as arthritis. If you are experiencing knee pain, there is a good chance the pain is rooted in your kneecap or patella. Every time you bend your knee, your kneecap needs enough space to move up and down between your femur bone and the bend of your knee. Unfortunately, if this area becomes inflamed, then the tissues surrounding the kneecap will become tighter, and the kneecap will not have
as much space to move. It will try to squeeze through the inflamed padding, causing pain in the knee, and causing the padding to grow thicker and more irritated. When this happens, the joint fluid inside your knee will begin to dry out, resulting in more friction and pain.

“Affected my life for the better!” “I started Elite Physical Therapy after a traumatic accident where I was dragged by a car. It caused damage to multiple parts of my body on top of chronic illness issues I already suffered with. I was very skeptical about going to Physical Therapy at first and was wondering if it would help at all. I was being told with surgery there would be risky odds and that would be my only option. I was afraid to do surgery that might lead tomore issues, but I really did not knowwhat to do and I suggested trying Physical Therapy as a last resort. My doctors didn’t have much hope for it but sent me because it couldn’t hurt. At the time I could not even stand unassisted, and was falling constantly. I went tomy first appointment at Elite not really sure what to expect but hoping it would give me more choices besides surgery. The minute I walked in I was welcomed by everyone at the front desk staff tomy awesome Physical Therapist. During my 2 1/2 years at Elite I have experienced many set backs medically, which has been frustrating beyond belief. Numerous doctors continued to tell me to just give up and at times I wanted to. Yet my Physical Therapist always saw potential tomake improvements inmy physical ability even when I doubted it and never gave up onme. He’s been my biggest cheerleader with his unwavering support. The improvements I made and continue to make physically have helped to give me more pieces of my life back, enjoy the things I previously did, as well as to be more functional in my day to day living. I still have bad days and on these days my Elite Physical Therapist has the ability to encourage me and finds a way to make my appointments productive, meaningful and help me restore my own confidence in myself when it waivers. It’s hard to express in words howmuch the support, expertise, and the care has affected my life for the better. The fact that my Elite Physical Therapist realizes my healing processmay be longer thenmost typical patients and supportsme through it means more than he knows.” -L.G. www.elitephysicaltherapy.com 5 STAR REVIEW
