FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
Can physiotherapy help with knee arthritis?
Yes. Physiotherapy is a first-line treatment for knee osteoarthritis and can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility. Treatment often includes strengthening exercises to support the joint, manual therapy to improve range of motion, and advice on activity modification. Early intervention can delay or reduce the need for surgery.
What causes hip pain during walking?
Hip pain during walking is commonly caused by soft tissue irritation, joint degeneration, bursitis or biomechanical imbalances. A physiotherapist can assess gait patterns, identify contributing factors, and implement a tailored plan that may include strengthening, mobility work and movement retraining to reduce discomfort.
How long does it take to recover from a knee injury?
Recovery time varies depending on the type and severity of the injury. Mild ligament or soft tissue injuries may resolve in a few weeks with appropriate care, while more complex issues like meniscus tears or post-surgical recovery can take several months. Consistent physiotherapy plays a key role in a safe, gradual return to full function.
