Physical Therapy for Hip Pain and Knee Pain
The hips and knees support your body weight for walking and moving about, providing stability and mobility. Injury, arthritic change, or general pain at the hips or knees can keep your joints from working normally and limit your ability to function in life.
Hip pain and knee pain can also result in a lack of mobility, muscle weakness, the inability to bear weight, and difficulty rising from a chair.
What are the Most Common Causes of Hip Pain and Knee Pain?
Hip pain often feels like a constant dull ache and can be located in the front, back, side of the hip, lower back, or the buttocks. Knee pain can be sharp or dull and can be on the front or back or sides of the knee joint.
Diagnostic terms that describe some types of hip pain and knee pain include:
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Tendinitis
- Chondromalacia
- Dislocation
- Fracture
- Hip Labral Tear
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle Strain or Tear

How Can a Physical Therapist Help with Hip Pain and Knee Pain?
