KNEE, HIP, & LEG PAIN RELIEF FINDING THE ANSWER FOR
Your hips, knees, and lower legs are tough—but injuries happen. Your hips and knees are your largest joints, supporting your body’s weight. They work in close coordination, giving us the mobility we need. Between arthritis, injuries and age, however, pain can flare up. If you’re experiencing hip, knee or leg pain, call us to schedule a closer look. Before you do, however, let’s examine the pain itself. What Causes Hip, Knee and Leg Pain? Hip, knee and leg pain are surprisingly common. Thus, their source can come from a variety of things. If you’re experiencing pain in any part of your leg, pinpointing the exact spot can help you determine the cause. Mayo Clinic has pinpointed several leading causes of hip, knee and leg pain. While many causes exist, the most likely are:
Hip and knee pain does not have to arise from sports injuries. People can suffer from hip and knee pain due to normal wear and tear and arthritis. A physiotherapist can help to determine where the pain can be coming from and you don’t even need to see a doctor first. What Are the Symptoms? While leg pain is noticeable by a slew of symptoms, several stick out. Aching or stiffness around the hip, groin, back or thigh may be a sign of deeper problems. A decreased range of motion can also be a sign of deeper problems which may later result in hip, knee or leg pain. Sometimes, inactivity can contribute to immobility—and later pain. If you’re limping, lurching or are experiencing bad balance, contact a physician. While some hip, knee and leg pains go away, those lasting longer than several months may be hinting at a deeper issue.

HOW PHYSIOTHERAPY CAN HELP Inmany cases, physiotherapy can help patients quickly recover from an injury and get back to what they love to do. In doing so, they can stretch, flex and strengthen the muscles responsible for support. If a joint appears deformed, or if sudden swelling occurs, contact a physician immediately. A typical physiotherapy session will start with a comprehensive evaluation of your entire lower body, looking for the exact source ofyourproblem. Yourphysiotherapistwillcustomizeatreatment plan to address areas of stiffness, weakness, tightness, and pain. On every level, physiotherapy serves to enhance the patient’s qualityof life.We’reheretohelp,andwehaveyearsofexperience backing every therapy option.

3 T IPS TO IMPROVE YOUR NUTRI T ION THIS FALL
1. Harvest Your Herbs. Herbs tend to have higher levels of antioxidants and other phytonutrients than other types of vegetables. So even though we tend to eat them in relatively small quantities, herbs can add a lot of nutrition to foods. 2. Serve Up Some Soup. Getting into the habit of making a big pot of soup every weekend is a great way to improve your nutrition all week long. If you’re using a pressure cooker or slow cooker, they also need very little supervision while they are cooking. 3.AddProbioticstoYourDailyIntake. Probiotic foodshelp to promote the growth of helpful bacteria in your gut. Good gut bacteria can aid in digestion, nutrient absorption, and help you maintain a healthy weight.

Do you think it’s because of your tight hamstrings? Spinal Forward Flexion or the “toe touch” is a simple yet effective test that therapists use to assess one’s overall range of motion of the spine but some may not know that there are a few factors that lead to a successful toe touch. Often it can be tight hamstrings (muscles in the back of your thigh that run past your knee) or any tight structure on the back side of your body such as low back and calf muscles. It can also be from lack of core muscle activation/ coordination or motor control issues in the front of your hips. At SST, we can perform a Movement Screening to help address such issues and see what is the cause of your lack of forward flexion.

Keep up with your physiotherapy exercises to relieve pain and prevent further injuries. If your pain doesn’t subside, consult with your therapist about what other things might be causing pain.
