What is Hip Pain ?
Hip pain can make even the simplest movements feel more difficult. Walking through the grocery store, climbing stairs, getting in and out of the car, traveling, exercising, or enjoying activities like golf and pickleball can all become more challenging when your hip isn’t moving comfortably.
Many people assume hip pain is simply a normal part of getting older. While the joints naturally change over time, many of the conditions that contribute to hip pain are treatable. Addressing the problem early can help prevent it from interfering with your mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Some of the most common causes of hip pain include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Gluteal tendinopathy
- Hip bursitis
- Muscle weakness or strain
- Limited hip mobility
- Pain referred from the lower back
Often, more than one factor is contributing to hip pain, which is why a thorough evaluation is important before deciding on the best treatment approach.
What are the symptoms of Hip Pain ?
Hip pain affects everyone differently, but it often becomes most noticeable during everyday activities that require walking, standing, or changing positions.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain while walking or after longer periods of activity
- Groin pain or pain on the outside of the hip
- Discomfort when lying on one side
- Difficulty getting in and out of the car
- Pain when climbing stairs
- Stiffness after sitting for extended periods
- Reduced balance or confidence putting weight through the leg
- Pain after activities like golf or pickleball
As symptoms continue, many people begin limiting how far they walk, avoiding vacations that involve sightseeing, skipping exercise, or turning down social activities because they’re unsure how much their hip will tolerate. Over time, this can reduce strength, confidence, and overall activity levels.
What Is Our Approach To Treating Hip Pain ?
Before seeking physical therapy, many people try over-the-counter pain medications, ice, heat, stretching exercises found online, cortisone injections, or simply reducing their activity. While these approaches may temporarily ease symptoms, they often don’t address the underlying reason the hip is becoming painful.
At Kriz Physical Therapy, we focus on identifying the root cause of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms. We evaluate your hip mobility, strength, walking mechanics, balance, and how your entire body moves to understand what may be contributing to your discomfort.
Your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Hands-on manual therapy to improve hip mobility
- Glute and core strengthening exercises
- Balance and walking training
- Functional strengthening for everyday activities
- A customized home exercise program to support long-term success
- Advanced technologies such as Shockwave Therapy, Stimpod, or Photobiomodulation when clinically appropriate
Our goal is to help you walk farther, move with greater confidence, and return to the activities that matter most, whether that’s traveling, exercising, playing sports, or simply enjoying everyday life.
