Welcome to our understandable and insightful introduction to common complaints that our health center treats! The world of physical therapy is about more than just exercises – it is an art and science that deals with the entire musculoskeletal system of the body.
We look at typical complaints in three clear sections: 'What?' for clear definitions, 'Why?' for causes and 'And now?' for treatment options, including modern techniques such as Kinekt and Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI). Together we will explore this fascinating world where innovative therapies and exercise go hand in hand - really hand in hand!

Baker's cyst
WO:
Back of the knee
A Baker's cyst is a collection of fluid in the back of the knee caused by a buildup of synovial fluid. It can cause pain and swelling in the back of the knee area. Treatment may include rest, compression, physical therapy, and in some cases aspiration (removal of fluid). It is important to treat the underlying cause, such as osteoarthritis or injury, to prevent Baker's cyst from recurring.
