For active families—whether you’re a youth athlete sprinting down the field, a parent trying to keep up with your kids on outdoor adventures, or a grandparent who loves to take long walks—hip pain can be a major obstacle to enjoying life to the fullest. Don’t let discomfort sideline you from the activities you cherish!
Hip pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may stem from various causes, including injuries, arthritis, bursitis, or overuse. Fortunately, physical therapy is an effective way to relieve pain, improve function, and enhance mobility—without the need for surgery or long-term medication.
At Active Life, we emphasize an Active Treatment approach. Instead of relying solely on passive treatments like ice or rest, we focus on engaging you in your recovery process. Our comprehensive treatment plans include exercises, manual therapy, and functional training tailored to your specific needs. This proactive participation not only relieves pain but also helps prevent future issues.
Treatment Options for Hip Pain
Stay Active – Don’t Avoid Movement
Keeping your hip moving is crucial for recovery. While it may be tempting to rest or avoid activities that exacerbate your pain, this can lead to stiffness and further complications. Research shows that controlled movement and targeted exercises are essential for speeding up recovery. Our skilled therapists will guide you through safe and effective methods to stay active, helping you regain your strength and confidence.
