Common Questions from Hip and Knee Injury Clients
1. How long does it take to recover from a hip or knee injury?
Recovery can vary considerably based on the severity of your condition. Minor strains may improve in a few weeks, while major ligament tears or advanced osteoarthritis might take months. We continually adjust your therapy plan as you progress.
2. What signs suggest my hip or knee injury is more serious?
Severe swelling, an inability to bear weight, or locking sensations in the joint can point to a significant problem such as a torn meniscus or cartilage injury. It’s best to get a professional assessment for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment plan.
3. Will physical therapy completely heal my hip or knee injury?
Many hip and knee conditions improve significantly with physical therapy. Full recovery depends on your specific diagnosis, health status, and consistency with your program. Our therapists aim to restore as much strength and mobility as possible.
4. Can physical therapy help me avoid hip or knee surgery?
In many cases, yes. By reducing inflammation and improving joint function, physical therapy can delay or even negate the need for surgery. However, some injuries—like a full ACL tear—may still require surgical intervention. We’ll work with your healthcare providers to determine the best approach.
5. What happens during a typical hip or knee therapy session?
Your therapist might employ manual techniques, stretching, strengthening exercises, or modalities like dry needling. We’ll also advise on proper biomechanics for walking, squatting, or climbing stairs to protect your joints and promote faster recovery.
6. Is hip or knee therapy painful?
While some mild discomfort can occur as your body adapts to new movements, we strive to keep therapy as safe and pain-free as possible. The goal is gradual, sustainable progress without aggravating your injury.
7. Can I stay active while undergoing therapy?
Yes! We generally encourage moderate activity to prevent stiffness, as completely avoiding movement can slow recovery. Your therapist will recommend safe exercise levels and modifications that support healing without risking further injury.
