The common causes of hip and knee pain include arthritis, which leads to joint inflammation and cartilage degeneration; overuse injuries from repetitive activities like running or cycling; and acute trauma such as fractures or ligament tears. Other factors include bursitis, tendonitis, or referred or radiating pain from the lower back or pelvis. Structural problems, such as impingement or kneecap misalignment, may also contribute.
Of course, lifestyle factors such as age, obesity, or poor biomechanics can exacerbate these conditions which is why we take a holistic approach to health and wellness.
If you are dealing with chronic hips and knee pain, and doctors have told you that your joints are very stiff or “bone on bone,” this is often caused by an imbalance in the musculature around your hips, pelvis, thighs, and hamstrings.
If you’ve tried personal trainers, stretching, tissue mobilization, needling, massage therapy, or acupuncture and only found temporary relief, it’s time to address the root cause. The compressional load and overuse of your hips and knees are likely accelerating bone-on-bone deterioration, tendonitis, and muscle overuse around those joints.

At South Jersey Physical Therapy, we take a whole-body approach to treating hip and knee pain. Rather than simply addressing the symptoms, we focus on identifying and resolving the root causes of your discomfort. Our treatment begins with advanced manual therapy techniques, targeting stiff joints and tense soft tissues to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function. We also incorporate acupuncture needles to release deep muscle tension and improve blood flow, which aids in healing and provides immediate relief.
True, lasting relief requires going deeper. We assess the pelvic floor, hips, and pelvis, as these areas often hold the key to imbalances causing chronic hip and knee pain. Misalignments or muscle imbalances in these regions can lead to excess stress on the joints, contributing to wear and tear, tendonitis, or that dreaded “bone-on-bone” sensation. By restoring balance and optimizing movement patterns in the hips and pelvis, we reduce joint compression and the risk of further degeneration.
Our one-on-one sessions are designed to provide personalized care tailored to your needs. By combining strength training, mobility work, and patient education, we empower you with tools to maintain progress outside the clinic. Whether your goal is to return to sports, go on vacation without discomfort, walk pain-free, or play with your grandkids, we aim to help you achieve a pain-free, active lifestyle.
