Back Symptoms
Back
Why does my lower back hurt when I bend forward?
Lower back pain that worsens when bending forward is most commonly caused by increased pressure on the intervertebral discs or strain of the lumbar muscles and posterior ligaments. A physiotherapy assessment can determine exactly which structure is responsible and guide targeted treatment.

Why does my back hurt when I sit for long periods?
Back pain that develops or worsens during prolonged sitting is caused by sustained high intradiscal pressure, weakening of the spinal support muscles, and progressive shortening of the hip flexors that tilts the pelvis and flattens the lumbar curve. Physiotherapy corrects the underlying posture and muscle imbalances to make desk work pain-free.

Why does my back hurt after standing for a long time?
Back pain that builds during prolonged standing typically arises from lumbar facet joint compression, lumbar extension overload, or weak gluteal and core muscles failing to share the load with the spine. Physiotherapy identifies the specific cause and resolves it with manual therapy and targeted strengthening.

Why does my lower back pain shoot down my leg?
Lower back pain that shoots down the leg — commonly known as sciatica — is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve or its contributing lumbar nerve roots, most often by a herniated disc. Physiotherapy is the first-line treatment proven to decompress the nerve and eliminate leg pain in most patients.

Why is my back stiff and painful every morning?
Morning back stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes is a classic indicator of inflammatory spinal conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis or disc degeneration, while shorter stiffness is typically mechanical in origin. Physiotherapy can differentiate the cause and provide a targeted treatment programme to start your mornings pain-free.

Why does my back hurt when I lift things?
Back pain when lifting is caused by excessive spinal loading that exceeds the capacity of the discs, muscles, or ligaments, often combined with poor lifting mechanics such as a rounded lower back. Physiotherapy restores spinal function, teaches correct lifting technique, and rebuilds the core strength to lift safely.

Knee
Why does my knee hurt when climbing stairs?
Knee pain when climbing stairs is most often caused by patellofemoral syndrome, cartilage wear or patellar tendinopathy, all of which increase joint stress with each step. Physiotherapy in Faridabad can identify the exact cause and restore pain-free movement quickly.

Why does my knee hurt when I walk?
Knee pain during walking is usually caused by osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament strain or bursitis, all of which create abnormal loading with every stride. Physiotherapy in Faridabad corrects these problems through manual therapy, strengthening and gait retraining.

Why does my knee hurt after sitting for a long time?
Knee pain after prolonged sitting — often called the 'movie sign' — is a hallmark of patellofemoral syndrome or early osteoarthritis, where the joint stiffens under sustained low load. Physiotherapy in Faridabad restores normal patellar tracking and joint mobility to eliminate this pattern.

Why does my knee hurt more going downstairs than upstairs?
Going downstairs is more painful than going upstairs because the knee must decelerate your entire body weight eccentrically, placing up to four times normal body weight through the patellofemoral joint. Physiotherapy in Faridabad targets the specific structures involved to restore confident, pain-free stair descent.

Why is my knee swollen and stiff?
A swollen and stiff knee indicates fluid accumulation inside or around the joint, most commonly caused by osteoarthritis, bursitis, a meniscus tear or ligament injury. Physiotherapy in Faridabad reduces swelling, restores mobility and addresses the underlying cause to prevent recurrence.
Read moreNeck Symptoms
Neck
Why does my neck hurt after working at a desk or computer?
Neck pain after desk or computer work is primarily caused by sustained forward head posture that increases the effective weight through the cervical spine and overloads muscles, discs and facet joints. Physiotherapy in Faridabad corrects posture, releases muscle tension and builds the endurance needed for pain-free desk work.
Read moreNeck
Why do I have neck pain and headaches at the same time?
Neck pain and headaches occurring together are usually caused by muscle tension or joint dysfunction in the upper cervical spine that refers pain into the head. A physiotherapist can identify the exact source and relieve both symptoms without medication.
Read moreNeck
Why does my neck hurt when I turn my head?
Pain when rotating the neck is most often caused by stiffness or inflammation in the cervical facet joints or muscle spasm restricting normal movement. Physiotherapy can restore full, pain-free rotation through joint mobilisation and targeted muscle work.

Why does my neck pain cause numbness or tingling in my arm?
Neck pain combined with arm numbness or tingling almost always means a nerve root in the cervical spine is being compressed or irritated, a condition called cervical radiculopathy. Physiotherapy can decompress the nerve, relieve pain, and restore sensation without surgery in the majority of cases.

Shoulder
Why does my shoulder hurt when I raise my arm?
Shoulder pain when raising your arm is most commonly caused by subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tears or shoulder bursitis, where tendons or the bursa become pinched beneath the acromion bone. Physiotherapy in Faridabad decompresses the joint and restores full pain-free elevation.
Read moreShoulder
Why does my shoulder hurt at night or when lying down?
Nighttime shoulder pain that worsens when lying down is a hallmark symptom of rotator cuff tears, shoulder bursitis and frozen shoulder, where positional changes increase pressure on already-inflamed structures. Physiotherapy in Faridabad identifies the cause and provides targeted treatment for lasting night pain relief.
Read moreShoulder
Why does my shoulder hurt when I lift something overhead?
Shoulder pain during overhead lifting is typically caused by rotator cuff tendinopathy, subacromial impingement or AC joint arthritis, where the demands of overhead load exceed the current capacity of the shoulder's stabilising structures. Physiotherapy in Faridabad progressively rebuilds that capacity so you can lift without pain.
Read moreShoulder
Why is my shoulder stiff and movement limited?
A stiff shoulder with limited movement is most commonly caused by frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), rotator cuff disease or post-injury capsular tightening, all of which restrict the glenohumeral joint's normal 180-degree range. Physiotherapy in Faridabad uses targeted mobilisation and stretching to progressively restore full movement.

Hip
Why does my hip hurt when I walk?
Hip pain during walking is most commonly caused by osteoarthritis, hip flexor or gluteal tendinopathy, or bursitis — all of which alter the normal gait mechanics and produce characteristic patterns of pain. Physiotherapy reliably identifies the source and restores comfortable walking through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and load management.
Read moreHip
Why does my hip hurt when I sleep on my side?
Hip pain when sleeping on your side is most commonly caused by trochanteric bursitis or gluteal tendinopathy, where the soft tissues on the outer hip become inflamed under pressure. Physiotherapy treatment in Faridabad can relieve this pain quickly with targeted manual therapy and exercise.
Read moreHip
Why does my hip hurt when climbing stairs?
Hip pain when climbing stairs signals that the hip joint or surrounding muscles are under abnormal load, often due to osteoarthritis, hip flexor tightness, or gluteal weakness. A physiotherapist in Faridabad can identify the exact cause and restore pain-free stair climbing.

Why do I have pain in my groin or inner hip area?
Pain in the groin or inner hip area is often caused by hip joint problems, adductor muscle strain, or a sports hernia, all of which physiotherapy can effectively treat.

Ankle
Why does my ankle swell up after exercise or activity?
Ankle swelling after exercise is most often caused by a previous sprain with incomplete healing, leaving the ligaments lax and the joint prone to fluid accumulation under load. Physiotherapy at Realign Rehab Clinic in Faridabad addresses the root cause to eliminate swelling and rebuild ankle strength.
Read moreAnkle
Why does my ankle feel unstable and keep rolling?
An ankle that feels unstable and rolls repeatedly is almost always the result of incompletely rehabilitated ligament sprains that have left the proprioceptive system and stabilising muscles impaired. Physiotherapy at Realign Rehab Clinic in Faridabad can restore full ankle stability and stop recurrent rolling.

Why does the inside of my elbow hurt?
