What’s wrong with my lower leg?
When you hurt your lower leg, the first questions are always the same: what exactly is wrong, is it serious, how long will it take and what should I do now. Staying without answers only increases anxiety and delays proper care.
The questions everyone asks
- What’s wrong with my lower leg?

HOPP gives you a clear answer in just a few minutes, then offers you a care programme specific to your lower leg injury so you can start right away. Whether you’re:
- A runner
- A football player
- A hiker
- Or simply someone who hurt their lower leg in everyday life
HOPP helps you get back to your activities in the best possible conditions.

How does HOPP work for your lower leg?
In just a few minutes you get all the information about your injury for free: its exact location, how it happens, and what to do or avoid in the first few days. The HOPP app also gives you content throughout your journey so you understand the different aspects of your body, to get back to your activity in the best possible conditions. You get clear explanations about your injury, exercise videos filmed by sports physios, as well as theoretical content that helps you understand why every step of your programme matters. This ongoing education gradually makes you more independent in managing your body, well beyond simply doing the day’s exercises.

HOPP is for anyone who wants to get back to activity, whatever their sport, level or age. Programmes are specific to each injury but also adapted to your own pace of progress, with theoretical content so you understand every step of your recovery. Whether you run, play football, padel, do strength training or any other sport, or you simply need a functional lower leg for everyday life, the HOPP team adapts the protocol to your reality rather than putting you through a generic programme. Age and level are never a barrier: a growing teenager, an occasional recreational athlete or an experienced athlete preparing for competition each get support calibrated to their goals. You progress at your own pace, with explanations that make you an active participant in your own recovery rather than simply following exercises.
The HOPP care programmes for your lower leg
Whether your injury needs simple targeted strengthening or full support all the way to competition, HOPP offers three levels of care designed by two FIFA-certified sports physios and osteopaths.
HOPP vs. in-clinic care: why so many athletes are changing their approach
