Sometimes, when your hips and knees are in pain, it can cause you to change the way that you are moving, causing you to change the flow and pace of your gait, which is the way that you walk. Other times, prolonged pain can cause you to stop doing movements that are indicative of healthy joints. If you’ve experienced any hip or knee pain and are considering whether physical therapy is a good choice for your health needs, consider the following: •Fromastandingposition,areyouableto leanover andtouchyourtoes?

PATIENT SUCCESS STORIES

“On January 10, 2017, I had knee replacement surgery on my left knee. I had a lot of pain and anxiety. I’ve used Babin Physical Therapy before and knew right away where I should go to receive what I needed to heal. As I expected, I worked with Mike and his staff and gained the confidence I needed to return to my usual self. I don’t miss the pain, but I do miss these people. They are a great group of concerned professionals.” -Don Dippel “I don’t miss the pain, but I do miss these people. They are a great group of concerned professionals.”
