How Does Physiotherapy Help?

Physiotherapy is helpful for restricted joint mobility and decreased muscle strength in the same areas, both before and during recovery from surgeries. A physiotherapist helps find solutions for discomfort caused by sedentary work and other musculoskeletal issues.

If possible, bring your test results with you. Exercises are easier to perform when wearing comfortable sportswear.

Jumper’s Knee – Causes, Diagnosis, and the Role of Physiotherapy

Jumper’s knee, or patellar tendinopathy, is an overuse injury affecting the tendon below the kneecap (patella). It occurs more frequently in athletes, especially in sports that require jumping and explosive movements such as basketball, volleyball, and running — but also in non-athletes whose movement habits involve high and repetitive loads.
