That "ow, right at the front of my knee" feeling when you're going down stairs or squatting? It's called anterior knee pain, and it's more common than you'd think. 😅

Did you know your kneecap is the largest sesamoid bone in your body, sitting inside a tendon instead of connecting directly to another bone? That's part of why it's so prone to strain.

Not every knee injury means the worst, but some signs are worth taking seriously.
3 signs that could point to an ACL tear:
🔹 Rapid rotation or twisting of the knee
🔹 A popping sound at the moment of injury
🔹 Swelling that comes on quickly
If this sounds familiar, don't just wait it out. A proper assessment, even from home, can tell you what's actually going on and what your recovery path looks like from here.

You feel strong. You can squat, lunge, even run in a straight line. But then someone asks you to hop sideways, and your knee hesitates.

That hesitation is telling you something. Straight-line strength is only half the story after ACL surgery. Real stability comes from controlled, multidirectional movement, like medial and lateral hopping, that trains your knee to react, absorb load, and stay confident under sudden shifts in direction. If side-to-side movement still feels shaky, that's a sign your rehab isn't done yet, not that you're not strong.

If your hips feel tight after sitting all day, working out, or even just moving around, these 3 simple exercises can help loosen them up and improve your hip mobility.

Save this for the next time your hips are feeling stiff.

If the tightness or pain doesn't improve, it's a good idea to get assessed by one of our physiotherapists here at The Online Physiotherapist.

Hip pain isn't always the same problem.

Two common causes show up with very different signs: weak glutes and tight hip flexors.

If your knee caves in during a squat, or your hip drops when you stand on one leg, that's often a sign of underactive glutes. If your hip feels tight after sitting, or your lower back seems to arch more than usual, that's more likely tight, overactive hip flexors.

Understanding which one you're dealing with matters, because the fix is different for each. Strengthening a muscle that's already tight won't help, and stretching a muscle that's already weak won't either.

Swipe through to see which pattern matches what you're feeling, and where to start.

So what does that mean for you?

Your scan isn't a crystal ball. Hip shape differences like this show up in tons of people, and a lot of them feel nothing at all. Your pain is usually coming from how your hip moves and works day to day, not just what it looks like in a picture.

I've seen two people with almost identical scans have completely different experiences. That's why I don't just treat the image. I treat you.

If you've been told to "just live with it" because of what a scan showed, let's talk. Send me a DM and let's figure out what's actually going on. 👋

Hip pain when you run? 🏃‍♀️

Try these on your next run:
✅ Stretch before you head out
✅ Shorten your stride
✅ Keep feet under your hips (no crossover)

Small tweaks, big difference. 💪
