What Causes Hip Pain?

Hip pain is often more complex than just the joint itself—it can be influenced by how your spine, pelvis, and lower body move together.

Common conditions we treat include:

  • Hip osteoarthritis

  • Gluteal tendinopathy

  • Hip impingement (FAI)

  • Labral tears

  • Bursitis (lateral hip pain)

  • Muscle strains or imbalances

  • Referred pain from the low back

How Physical Therapy Helps Hip Pain

Physical therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for hip pain, especially for active adults.

✔️ Reduce Pain Without Medications

  • Targeted exercise and manual therapy can significantly reduce hip pain and irritation.

✔️ Improve Mobility & Flexibility

  • Restoring hip joint motion and surrounding tissue mobility helps reduce stiffness and improve movement.

✔️ Build Strength & Stability

  • Strengthening the glutes and surrounding muscles improves load tolerance and reduces strain on the hip joint.

✔️ Avoid or Delay Surgery

  • Many cases of hip pain—including early arthritis and impingement—respond well to conservative care.

✔️ Return to Activity

  • A structured rehab program helps you safely return to workouts, sports, and daily life with confidence.
