    Hip & Knee Rehabilitation in Nairobi

    Specialized Lower Limb Rehab

    Specialised programmes for hip and knee conditions, ensuring you can walk, run, and move without pain.

    Introduction

    The hips and knees bear the brunt of our body weight. When they are injured or arthritic, it affects everything we do. We specialize in restoring function to these critical joints.

    Hip & Knee Rehabilitation is one of our specialized treatments under our Orthopedic Physiotherapy services.

    Common Causes & Conditions

    • Patellofemoral pain syndrome (Runner's knee)
    • Hip impingement (FAI) or labral tears
    • IT band syndrome
    • Meniscus tears
    • Trochanteric bursitis (hip pain)

    Symptoms to Watch For

    • Pain when climbing or descending stairs
    • Aching in the groin or side of the hip
    • Knee swelling after activity
    • Clicking, catching, or giving way of the knee
    • Inability to squat or kneel

    How It Helps

    We analyze your gait and lower limb biomechanics to identify imbalances (like weak glutes causing knee pain) and correct them through targeted strengthening and mobility work.

    Why Choose Us

    We look beyond the site of pain. Often, knee pain is caused by a hip problem, or vice versa. We treat the entire kinetic chain for lasting results.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why does my knee hurt when I run?

    Runner's knee is often caused by poor tracking of the kneecap, which is frequently due to weakness in the hip muscles. We can assess this and provide the right exercises.

    Can physio help hip bursitis?

    Yes. Hip bursitis is often caused by a tight IT band and weak gluteal muscles. Addressing these issues relieves the friction on the bursa, reducing pain.
