1. Hip and Knee Problems

 

 

Whether you are suffering from Hip or Knee Injuries – fractures, impingement, sprains/strains, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, or even leg length inequality and muscular imbalances, physiotherapy can reduce the painful symptoms and promote faster healing and recovery. Physiotherapists are well-trained to identify the source of the affected hip/knee issue and to prescribe the appropriate course of treatment intervention. These may include but are not limited to stretching and strengthening exercises, orthotics and education on how to prevent worsening of the condition.
