Have you had a new knee or hip joint? Are you struggling with your post-op rehab? Do you need some advice and guidance about your progress?

Sometimes, a couple of sessions of physio can make all the difference in the outcome of a joint replacement, not just with exercises but using hands-on treatments as well to improve joint mobility and relieve muscle tightness. You can expect to see progress following joint replacement for up to 1 year post-op.

Why not contact Becky at Forest Edge Physio to arrange an appointment.

Hoffa’s fat pad (infrapatellar fat pad) is, as it sounds, a pad of fat that sits below the kneecap and behind the patella tendon. It is squeezed into a small space which makes it vulnerable to getting pinched and squished.

The fat pad can become irritated by trauma such as a direct blow or fall onto the knee, or by chronic micro-trauma (usually due to the way a person stands, muscle weakness or lack of muscle control as the knee straightens) that, over time causes inflammation.

If you imagine the structure of the fat pad is similar to a bath sponge, when it becomes inflamed, it’s like a bath sponge dunked in water and engorged with fluid resulting in an enlarged inflamed pad that is squished into a small space. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most pain sensitive structures in the knee, so any problem leads to a swollen and very painful knee that dislikes standing or being straight. Hoffa’s fat pad syndrome can really impact upon an individual's daily life.
Treatment and management for this syndrome is physiotherapy with the following aims:
• To settle down inflammation
• To offload the knee
• To correct the underlying cause

Please contact the clinic if you would like to arrange an assessment for this, or any other Musculo-skeletal problem. The sooner you start treatment, generally, the easier these problems are to settle.

Why not start 2023 by looking after yourself?

That niggling knee that is stopping you enjoying walking; that low back ache that makes you think twice before you pick up your little grandchild; that shoulder pain that is limiting your workout at the gym? Now is the time to get some help.

We have physio appointments available in January. Get in touch and our physio Becky will be happy to arrange a time to see you.

Happy New Year from Forest Edge Physiotherapy.
