Are You Suffering From Hip Or Knee Pain in Wimborne, Dorset?
Hip and knee pain can often develop gradually and quite organically due to a muscle imbalance, emerging as a result of exercising and not stretching and cooling down effectively.
Alternatively, the pain in your hip or knee could occur following surgery, or from a traumatic fall or injury which can include ligament or cartilage damage. Regardless of how your hip or knee injury was sustained, we can help you to recover.

Why Is physiotherapy Beneficial For My lower back pain Even If I currently Feel Fine?
You don’t need to currently be injured or have pain in your knees or hips for physiotherapy to be beneficial and it’s not always noticeable when areas of the body such as your hips or knees are getting tight, stiff and sore. Having monthly physio treatments can help maintain optimum function and prevent problems occurring.
Often people come to us after exercise to relieve tightness and optimise muscle function in the hips and knees.
Alternatively, treatment before intense sporting activities or before returning to sport will reduce the risk of injury.
