Knee Surgery & Hip Surgery
If you have recently had hip surgery or knee surgery, we recommend that you consider physical therapy to be a part of your rehabilitation plan. Muscles and joints in our lower bodywork in conjunction with each other to form a "kinetic chain". A kinetic chain is a series of joints and muscles that are perfectly synchronized to complete complex movements such as walking or running.
In fact, the human body is a complex set of systems, and like all systems, it can only be pushed so far. If one of the pieces in the kinetic chain becomes injured, the whole kinetic chain will malfunction. When having Knee surgery, Foot surgery, and physical therapy it is vital to restore proper mobility. Hip pain exercises can help you regain full functionality.
When you are considering a rehabilitation program regarding a single muscle or joint, it's very important to develop a program that includes the full kinetic chain. It is not uncommon for our physical therapists to apply treatment techniques to the hip area in patients who have sustained an ankle or knee injury. At Dynamic Physical Therapy, we excel in developing personalized physical rehabilitation programs that include these concepts. By carefully considering the individual, we achieve optimal results for our patients and reduce the chance of re-injury.
