Physiotherapy Hip, Knee and Foot

Walking – for most of us this is the most natural way to get around. The lower limbs (i.e. the hip, knee and feet) must be intact. Bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons must reliably interact with one another.

Our therapists are specialists in identifying and treating complex problems of the lower limbs. We use both manual therapy and active movement therapy (coordination and strength training) to treat joint dysfunctions. We develop individual exercise programs with you to strengthen your muscles and stabilize your joints. This will give you better control over the mechanical axis of your leg, which is important for movements that don’t put strain on your joints. We’ll help you to become more effective and approach your daily tasks and hobbies with enthusiasm.

Our offers

Individual therapy

After a thorough clinical examination, we offer you individual advice and support for your rehabilitation. We can make use of all the therapy facilities at Balgrist University Hospital when treating your hip, knee or feet.

Water therapy in small groups

The physical properties of water make movements easier and pain-free. Water therapy in the pleasant 34 °C temperature of the walking pool and 32 °C temperature of the sports pool is particularly suitable for treating strain-related pain in the lower limbs. We offer outpatient water therapy (aqua gymnastics and aqua jogging) individually or in groups several times a week.

Medical Training Therapy (MTT)

As soon as your muscles have been sufficiently strengthened, are more stable and you have less pain, we can continue your treatment using Medical Training Therapy (MTT). A team of specialist sports physiotherapists will take care of you. Many of our experts practice one or more sports themselves. They therefore know all about the physical and mental aspects of your sport and target these to help you get back to your sporting activities.

After successfully completing a therapy, it’s generally important to maintain the achieved form or continue to improve it. We therefore recommend that you train in our training center.
