Hip Pain & Stabilization

What is hip osteoarthritis?

Wear of hip socket cartilage causes groin ache and deep stiffness. PT keeps you moving by strengthening the glutes, improving joint lubrication, and restoring leg alignment.

Why does the outside of my hip ache?

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (bursitis) makes side sleeping painful. We treat this by strengthening the gluteus medius to stop hip drop and relieve tendon compression.

What is a hip labral tear?

Tears to the cartilage ring around the socket can cause groin catching. PT builds targeted stability in deep rotators, avoiding surgery and returning you safely to activities.

What is hip impingement (FAI)?

Bone-on-bone socket friction restricts rotation. Our physical therapy focuses on pelvic posture, hip mobility limits, and deep muscle bracing to minimize mechanical stress.

What causes a piriformis strain?

Spasm in the deep glute piriformis muscle can compress the sciatic nerve. We combine manual release, nerve mobility, and deep hip strength adjustments to resolve tightness.

How does hip replacement rehab work?

Post-operative therapy is critical. We focus on restoring your natural walking gait, building balance stability, and safely returning full strength to your surrounding muscles.
