Stronger Hips and Knees: Why Strengthening is One of the Best Things You Can Do for Your Joints
If you’ve been dealing with hip or knee discomfort — whether it’s stiffness in the morning, pain with walking, or difficulty getting up from a chair — you’re not alone. These joints carry a lot of load every day, and over time, they can start to let you know when they’re not being supported the way they should.
The good news? There’s a lot you can do to reduce pain, move better, and get back to the things you love. And one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to do that is through targeted strengthening and education — something we specialise in here at Shenton Quarter Physio in Shenton Park.
Why Strengthening Matters
Your hips and knees are supported by big, powerful muscle groups like the glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. By strengthening the muscles around these joints, you can:
Take pressure off the joint surfaces
Improve control and balance
Reduce discomfort during daily activities
Feel more confident and stable on your feet
And it’s not just about the exercises — it’s about how you do them, why they matter, and making sure they’re right for you.
Education + Movement = Long-Term Results
We believe that when you understand your body better, you move better. That’s why we combine strengthening with simple, practical education about how your joints work, how pain behaves, and what you can safely do to support your recovery.
Our patients often tell us they feel more confident, less fearful of movement, and more in control of their health — and that’s exactly the kind of change we love to see.
What We Offer at Shenton Quarter Physio
At our Shenton Park clinic, we offer:
Small group classes (3:1 ratio): These sessions are ideal for people who want guidance in a supportive, social environment. Everyone follows a personalised plan, supervised by a physiotherapist, so you get the benefits of both structure and flexibility.
1-on-1 physiotherapy sessions: If you’re starting out, managing more complex symptoms, or simply prefer individual sessions, we offer tailored one-on-one sessions designed around your goals and needs.
Whether you're just starting your rehab journey or looking to stay ahead of joint issues, our approach is about sustainable progress — not quick fixes.
Ready to Strengthen with Confidence?
Improving your hip and knee strength isn’t just about exercise — it’s about movement, mindset, and support. At Shenton Quarter Physio, we’re here to guide you through it all with a plan that works for you.
