The knee is one of the most heavily loaded joints in the body, and the source of pain is often not the knee itself but a movement chain that includes the hip and the ankle. Fzt. Kemran Hafız assesses knee pain by measurement: range of motion, thigh strength front and back, balance and gait are examined together, and the programme is built on those findings.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for knee rehabilitation at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
Someone with knee pain changes their gait without realising it: the step shortens, load shifts to the other leg, balance is thrown off. This change doesn't correct itself once the pain is gone — it turns into a habit.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız gives gait analysis its own place in the knee programme. In older adults, instability accompanying knee pain clearly raises the risk of falling; in that case the programme targets not just the knee but standing safety too.
Someone with knee pain shortens their step and shifts load onto the other leg without realising it, to avoid pain. This compensatory pattern doesn't correct itself even once the pain is gone; it turns into a habit and lays the ground for new complaints in the opposite leg.
Instability accompanying knee pain in older adults clearly raises the risk of falling. That's why Fzt. Kemran Hafız builds the programme to cover not just the knee, but standing and walking safety too.
Pain and swelling are brought under control first, then graded strengthening proceeds alongside gait-pattern and balance work. Progress is re-assessed at regular intervals.

Fzt. Kemran Hafız · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
Yes, gait pattern is observed during assessment; asymmetry in step length and load distribution becomes one of the programme's targets.
Knee pain directly affects gait and balance; if the two are treated separately, a balance problem can persist even once the complaint has gone.
Yes, the programme is built with fall risk in mind and progressed gradually; safety comes first.
An exercise-based programme aimed at reducing pain and increasing walking capacity in cartilage wear.
For meniscus tears, with or without surgery: graded rehabilitation that makes the knee trustworthy again.

Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation
Chiropractic and manual therapy are often confused. Both are done with the hands, but their approaches and frameworks differ.

The sharp heel pain on the first step in the morning is often assumed to be a heel spur. But the real name for this condition is plantar fasciitis, and the two aren't the same thing.
