HIP MEETS KNEE: INSIDE STORY ON JOINT PAIN
Continued from outside.
While interconnected, the hip and knee are distinct structures with unique roles in our body’s movement and different responsibilities. Understanding these differences is vital in diagnosing and treating pain effectively. This is where the expertise of our physical therapists can help! NAVIGATING THE PATH TO RECOVERY WITH FAIRFIELD UNIVERSAL THERAPY At Fairfield Universal Therapy, our physical therapists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, and distinguish whether you’re dealing with an issue in your hip, knee, or both. After completing the evaluation, we’ll design a program focusing on the actionable steps you can take to ensure long-term relief and prevention of future injuries, including the following: • Tailored Therapeutic Exercises: Our therapists will provide you with stretching and strengthening exercises to help restore your mobility and function. For example, eccentric training focuses on elongating a muscle under tension, proving particularly effective in strengthening muscles and improving mobility. • Neuromuscular Re-education: This involves using exercises and manual techniques to restore normal muscle function and movement patterns. These techniques are especially effective in reducing pain and enhancing function, especially in individuals with hip and knee pain. Our therapists go beyond the surface, digging deep into your symptoms to identify the underlying issues and determine the true origin of your pain, whether the hip, the knee, or both. Our goal is to build a program that helps you get back to living your best life! FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE LIFE Are you ready to embrace a lifestyle that promises better mobility and less pain? At Fairfield Universal Therapy, we are here to guide you every step of the way, fostering a future where you feel better, move better, and live better! Call today to schedule an appointment!
