  • Osteoarthritis: affects most people as we age.It is felt during activities such as putting shoes or socks on, getting out of a car or deep chair.
  • Lateral hip pain: is caused by irritation of the soft structures on the side of the hip. It is most noticeable when walking or lying on your side.
  • Impingement: feels like a ‘pinch’ in the front of the hip joint. It is typically felt during twisting, squatting or sitting.

Knee Pain

Treatment that delivers better results

Knee Pain

Knee pain is common in all age groups and include:

  • Simple strain/sprain: This happens as a result of increased activity or the overstretching of tissues.
  • Anterior knee pain syndrome: Pain generally associated with kneeling, going up or down stairs, sitting on a low seat or running long distances.
  • Damage to the meniscus or cartilage: This can happen over time or from during a sudden event.
  • Osteoarthritis: is a common cause of knee pain as we age, causing swelling and a reduction in activity levels. Those who are overweight or have had injuries to the knee in the past are most prone to developing osteoarthritis.

Less common knee problems include tendon issues, ligament problems or irritation to soft tissue.
