WHEN PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP
If you’ve experienced any hip or knee pain and are considering whether physical therapy is a good choice for your health needs, consider the following:
• In a sitting position, can you comfortably cross your legs, leaving your ankle to rest comfortably on the opposite knee? If this is painful, or one knee constantly must be lower than the other, then this may be indicative of knee concerns that could be addressed with physical therapy. • From a standing position, with your feet planted flat on the floor, can you push your body into a squatting position? You should be able to squat all the way down so that your buttocks are almost touching your heels. If you aren’t able to do this, then physical therapy may be helpful in improving your range of motion. • Do you have other pain that you have been suffering with for awhile? Have you just “dealt with it” but it does not seem to be going away? Physical therapy can help stop the pain before it gets any worse and progresses to a larger problem. The goal of Austin’s physical therapy program is to restore range of motion and improve flexibility and strength while reducing the general experience of pain. Unfortunately, hip and knee injuries often tend to linger. Every movement relies so heavily on the hips and knees that it makes it difficult to allow these joints to actually rest following an injury.
Physical therapy provides targeted exercises that support the joints with precise movements that help reinforce posture, strength and range of motion. For more information, contact your physical therapist to learn more about options that will suit your health needs.
