Hip and Knee Pain

Hip and Knee Pain Relief

The good thing here is, despite having an X-ray or MRI scan that shows the alleged dreaded diagnosis of Osteoarthritis – commonly referred to as ‘wear & tear’,  there are several things that you can do to help reduce your hip and knee pain. Physio can tackle the stiffness and improve your confidence on that leg that you have learned not to trust because it just doesn’t feel strong and gives the occasional wobble every so often. It is not a nice feeling. There is no fun in taking a fall due to loss of balance.

Firstly it is very important to be aware that the diagnosis of OsteoArthritic change in the hip or knee joint doesn’t not immediately imply that you need a hip or knee replacement. Thankfully APC Physio & Sports Clinics treatment approach is the same used by APC physios and Patrick Hanley (APC’s Lead Physio) during his years of experience working with elite level athletes, physiotherapists and strength coaches in Munster Rugby, leading professionals around to world  and currently with the IRFU. The approach is designed so that your pain will be reduced for good by building up the muscles around your hip and knee  and loosen up the joints with effective hands on techniques that will leave you feeling less sore with noticeably improved movement in stiff hips and knees and the ability to walk for longer without pain or stiffness. Then you will be perfectly placed to get back to your hike, round of gold or dancing that had been impossible to even consider due to hip and knee pain.
