Hip and knee issues are among the most common challenges people face, whether that is due to surgery, injury, or conditions like osteoarthritis. These joints play a huge role in everyday activities. From walking and climbing stairs to simply getting out of a chair. When pain or mobility issues set in, it can dramatically impact quality of life.
Why Hip and Knee Rehab?
This is where exercise rehabilitation is the key. A tailored, guided exercise program can help rebuild strength, improve mobility, and prevent injuries. But it’s not just about exercise—it’s about feeling supported, confident, and capable every step of the way. At FOCUS, we have designed a small group class to help you tackle hip and knees in a supportive environment.
The Science Behind Exercise Rehabilitation
Research consistently demonstrates the critical role of exercise in managing hip and knee conditions. Supervised exercise can help enhance recovery following procedures like total hip or knee replacements by improving mobility and strength post-surgery.
Engaging in regular physical activity strengthens the muscles surrounding the affected joints, enhancing support and stability, while also improving flexibility and balance and reducing the risk of falls and re-injury. Targeted exercise can reduce pain and improve joint function, helping individuals maintain independence and quality of life.
Additionally, exercise helps reduce bone loss and plays a role in alleviating joint pain and swelling. Consistent movement promotes lubrication of the cartilage within the joint, which helps ease stiffness and discomfort commonly associated with conditions like osteoarthritis.

- People recovering from hip or knee surgeries (e.g. joint replacements)
