Hip and knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including obesity, sports injuries, aging, and repetitive motion injuries. Whatever the cause of your hip and/or knee pain, if you are experiencing it on a regular basis contact Connections Physical Therapy to find a solution.
The knee is considered to be a hinge joint while the hip is a ball-and-socket joint. They are both complex joints with a network of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and cartilage – all working together to keep you moving.

So if you are struggling with hip and knee pain, you are definitely not alone. Whether your knee hurts, your hip hurts, or you are struggling with pain in both joints, you are well aware of the fact that such pain can make it much harder to live the life you prefer. Fortunately, physical therapy can do a lot to alleviate that pain.
