Kinesiology & Active Rehabilitation in Surrey
Knee & Hip Pain Kinesiology.
Therapy Now uses the term Knee & Hip Pain to describe kinesiology and active rehabilitation that targets pain, stiffness, weakness, reduced mobility, balance concerns, or functional limitations affecting the knee or hip.
Your rehabilitation program is personalized to help improve strength, mobility, stability, walking confidence, balance, endurance, and your ability to return to work, exercise, sport, and everyday activities.
Knee or hip pain can have many causes. Kinesiology focuses on movement, exercise, strength, balance, function, and active rehabilitation rather than providing a medical diagnosis.
What is Knee & Hip Pain Kinesiology?
Active rehabilitation focused on movement, strength, and function.
Kinesiology for knee and hip pain looks at how the lower body moves during walking, stairs, sitting, standing, lifting, exercise, work, and daily activities. Your kinesiologist may assess mobility, strength, balance, coordination, walking mechanics, and functional movement.
Your program begins at a level that matches your current ability. Exercises are adjusted gradually based on your comfort, progress, goals, and how your body responds.
Your rehabilitation plan may focus on:
- ✓Improving comfortable hip and knee movement
- ✓Rebuilding lower-body strength
- ✓Improving balance and stability
- ✓Increasing tolerance for walking, stairs, and standing
- ✓Supporting a return to work, exercise, and recreation

What may your program include?
Exercise selected for your needs and goals.

Balance Training
Activities that develop stability, coordination, and confidence during standing and walking.

Why active rehabilitation matters
Build capacity through guided, gradual movement.
Knee and hip pain can lead people to reduce walking, stairs, exercise, or everyday movement. Although activity modification may sometimes be appropriate, prolonged inactivity can contribute to weakness, stiffness, reduced endurance, and lower confidence.
Active rehabilitation helps you establish a manageable starting point and gradually build your ability to move, work, exercise, and complete daily tasks.

- ✓Improve walking confidence
- ✓Increase hip and knee strength
- ✓Improve mobility, balance, and stability
- ✓Increase tolerance for stairs and daily activities
- ✓Support a gradual return to work, sport, or exercise
