The Hip
The hip joint’s primary responsibility is to support your body weight when you are engaged in dynamic movements and when you are standing still. In fact, the hip joints are the key components in your ability to retain balance.
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain, or any pain in or around the hip joint, can generate from the hip itself or from any of the numerous structures that surround the hip. Additionally, hip pain can be referred from the low back. Hip joint pain is usually reported in the front or side of the hip while low back pain is felt in the buttocks.
You are most at risk for hip pain if you:
Have a history of hip trauma
Perform repetitive running, squatting or kneeling motions in athletic pursuits or work tasks
Have weak and/or tight hip musculature

Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome

Arthritis/Arthrosis
Bursitis
Treatment Options
Our team of Physical Therapists treats patients using evidence-based treatment techniques that speed recovery time while reducing the risk of recurrence of hip pain:

Functional exercises that are tailored to your activity level
