Hip, Knee, Leg and Foot Treatment
Pain or stiffness in the hips, knees, legs, or feet can make walking, climbing stairs, or standing at work feel tiring and stressful, and may gradually change the way you move. These areas can be affected by many things, including overuse, reduced muscle strength, changes in joint cartilage (such as osteoarthritis), previous sprains or fractures, or the way your feet load the ground with each step.
Hip, leg, knee, or foot pain may develop after sports or gym training, long periods of standing, repetitive movements at work, or simply from spending years in unsupportive footwear or on hard surfaces. Sometimes the problem does not start in the painful joint itself, but comes from the way your back, pelvis, or overall posture alters the forces travelling down through the legs.
At Lumena Clinic in Milton Keynes, osteopathic treatment looks at how your hips, knees, ankles, and feet work together, as well as how they relate to your back and overall posture. Your osteopath will assess your movement, joint mobility, and muscle balance to understand what is driving your symptoms, then create a personalised treatment and exercise plan.
Osteopathy may help if you experience:
- Hip or knee pain with walking, stairs, or getting up from sitting
- Aching, tightness, or fatigue in the legs after standing or activity
- Foot or ankle discomfort, including pain linked to your gait or footwear
- Arthritic changes that have been checked medically but still limit your movement
Treatment can include gentle joint mobilisation, soft‑tissue techniques, and targeted exercises to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and gait, along with advice on activity levels, footwear, and pacing to support long‑term joint health.
