PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR THIGH / KNEE

Therapists

Knee joints

Underloading(!) promotes the development of osteoarthritis, i.e. cartilage damage (so-called gonarthrosis). A frequent concomitant of knee joint complaints is the so-called Baker’s cyst, an outpouching of the joint capsule in the direction of the popliteal fossa. In this case, an adapted therapy can help to eliminate restrictions in everyday life or sports again.

Overuse syndromes such as patellar tendinitis (jumpers knee) or runners knee (tractus syndrome) can also occur in the musculature. Here we will find out together what kind of training or lifestyle adjustments will help you. Together we make your tendon more resilient!

The most well-known injuries in the knee joint include ligament lesions (cruciate ligament tear, collateral ligament injuries), meniscal lesions (Meniscus tear) or also patellar dislocations. Also postoperatively, after knee joint arthroscopies or the insertion of an artificial knee joint (knee prosthesis / knee TEP) , it is useful to optimize healing through physiotherapeutic measures.

Thigh

Here, especially during sports, muscle strains or muscle fiber tears can occur. The major muscle groups that are usually affected here are the inner, anterior and posterior thigh muscles (adductors, quadriceps, sciatica/hamstrings). The most common breaks are here femoral neck fractures. In physical therapy, we then work to restore full strength to these structures.

  • The main aim is always to reduce the pain so that you can carry out your daily tasks without restrictions.
