We specialize in comprehensive hip and knee rehabilitation aimed at restoring mobility, alleviating pain, and improving overall function. Our dedicated team is experienced in treating a variety of conditions related to the hip and knee joints, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their specific needs.

Understanding Hip and Knee Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation for hip and knee conditions is a crucial aspect of recovery, whether following surgery, an injury, or managing chronic conditions like arthritis. This process involves a combination of physical therapy, exercise, education, and pain management strategies designed to promote healing and restore function.

The Importance of Rehabilitation

Effective rehabilitation can significantly enhance recovery outcomes. It helps to:

  • Reduce Pain: Targeted therapies can alleviate pain associated with injuries or chronic conditions.
  • Restore Mobility: Rehabilitation aims to improve range of motion and function, allowing individuals to engage in daily activities more comfortably.
  • Enhance Strength: Strengthening exercises focus on the muscles surrounding the hip and knee, providing support and stability to the joints.
  • Prevent Future Injuries: A well-structured rehabilitation program teaches patients how to avoid activities that may lead to re-injury.

Common Conditions Treated

1. Pre-/Post Knee Surgery

Preparing for and recovering from knee surgery requires a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation.

Pre-Surgery Rehabilitation

  • Objective: Strengthening the muscles around the knee before surgery can lead to better outcomes.
  • Programs: Our therapists create specific exercise regimens to enhance strength and flexibility, improving overall knee function. This preparation helps patients recover more quickly post-surgery.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

  • Recovery Focus: After surgery, rehabilitation is crucial for healing and restoring movement.
  • Guided Exercises: We provide a structured program that includes gentle range-of-motion exercises initially, progressing to strengthening exercises as healing permits.
  • Pain Management: Techniques such as manual therapy, ice, and modalities like electrical stimulation can help reduce post-operative pain.

2. Chronic Arthritic Knee & Hips

Chronic arthritis in the hip or knee joints can lead to debilitating pain and reduced mobility.

Pain Management Strategies

  • Therapeutic Exercises: We develop individualized exercise programs to maintain joint function and alleviate stiffness.

Education and Lifestyle Modifications

  • Activity Modification: We educate patients on how to modify activities to minimize joint stress and improve quality of life.

Rehabilitation following a complete hip or knee replacement is vital for achieving optimal function.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

  • Early Mobilization: Our team emphasizes early mobilization, helping patients begin gentle movements as soon as possible to enhance circulation and prevent stiffness.
  • Strengthening Programs: A structured program is developed to gradually increase strength and range of motion. Patients learn exercises that target key muscle groups around the hip and knee.

Long-Term Recovery

  • Functional Training: Rehabilitation includes functional training to prepare patients for daily activities, including walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of vehicles.
  • Continuous Assessment: Our therapists monitor progress closely, making adjustments to the rehabilitation plan as needed to ensure continued improvement.

4. Meniscal Pain

Meniscal injuries can cause significant knee pain and instability.

Treatment Approach

  • Assessment and Diagnosis: We perform a thorough assessment to determine the extent of the injury and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Recovery from a hip fracture often involves extensive rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility.

Initial Rehabilitation

Comprehensive Recovery
