Hip Pain Treatment

Your hips are central to almost every movement—from walking and climbing stairs to getting in and out of a chair. When hip pain strikes, it can limit your mobility and impact your daily life. At Rock Valley Physical Therapy, we take a personalized, movement-based approach to identify the source of your pain and help you move more freely, with less discomfort.

Understanding Hip Pain

Hip pain can develop gradually from wear and tear or appear suddenly after an injury. It might be felt deep in the joint, along the outer hip, or even radiating down the leg. Because the hip works closely with the spine, pelvis, and knees, pain in this area is often complex—and requires a thorough assessment to treat it effectively.

Common Causes

  • Arthritis or joint degeneration
  • Hip bursitis or tendonitis
  • Labral tears or cartilage damage
  • Hip impingement (FAI)
  • Muscle imbalances or weakness
  • Repetitive stress from sports or activity
  • Injuries or falls
  • Lower back or pelvic dysfunction referring pain to the hip

When to Seek Physical Therapy

If your hip pain is interfering with walking, sleeping, or daily movement—or if it’s not improving with rest—it’s time to consider physical therapy. Early treatment can prevent more serious issues, reduce the need for medications, and help you return to your routine faster. You don’t need a referral to get started at Rock Valley PT.

How Physical Therapy Helps with Hip Pain

Our therapists use a combination of hands-on care, targeted exercises, mobility work, and posture retraining to reduce pain and restore hip function. We also evaluate how your surrounding muscles and joints are contributing to the issue to make sure your entire movement system is working together efficiently.

Physical Therapy After Hip Replacement

August 27, 2026
Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common types of joint replacement surgery in the U.S., with thousands of people undergoing the procedure every year. It can be very restorative, reducing pain and providing you with significant improvement in mobility. However, just getting the new hip joint isn’t enough. You also need to re-learn how to use the joint and walk properly. That is where physical therapy after hip replacement becomes so important.
