Does your hip, knee or lower back hurt when getting out of a car? Do you feel stiff after a long drive? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for pain that returns after travelling?
Why Does It Occur?
Sitting for long periods keeps the hips and knees bent and can increase stiffness. Limited joint mobility, weak muscles, poor posture or existing back and joint problems may make the twisting and standing movement difficult.
How Physiotherapy Helps
β’ Assesses joint mobility, muscle strength and movement patterns.
β’ Uses targeted exercises to improve hip, knee and core strength.
β’ Improves flexibility and functional movement.
β’ Teaches safer techniques for getting in and out of a car.
β’ Manual therapy may help reduce stiffness when appropriate.
What You Can Try at Home
During long journeys, take regular breaks to stand and walk. Adjust the seat so the knees and hips remain comfortable. Before getting out, gently move the ankles, knees and hips. Turn the whole body together rather than twisting the lower back.
If pain or stiffness continues, consult Dr. Deepika Bansal, physiotherapist, serving Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh and Pimple Saudagar. Personalised physiotherapy can help improve mobility and make everyday movements easier.
