Hip Physical Therapyin Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, & New York

Hip pain can stem from various causes, including issues with the hip joint itself or the supporting muscles, ligaments, and tendons that surround the joint. This discomfort can lead to challenges in daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting for extended periods. Identifying the source of your discomfort is essential for effective treatment and restoring mobility.

Understanding Your Hip Pain:

• Joint-Related Hip Pain: Pain originating from the hip joint itself is often described as a deep, aching sensation felt on the inside of the hip or groin. This can be caused by conditions like arthritis, hip labral tears, or injuries that affect the joint’s structure. This type of pain can make movements like bending, walking, or standing particularly difficult.
• Soft Tissue-Related Hip Pain: When pain occurs on the outside of the hip or along the upper thigh, it’s often due to issues with the surrounding muscles, ligaments, or tendons. Common causes include strains, tendinitis, or bursitis. This type of pain may worsen with activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods, limiting mobility and daily function.
• Referred Pain: Sometimes, hip pain doesn’t originate from the hip itself but is referred from other areas of the body, such as the lower back or pelvis. For example, nerve irritation or spinal conditions like sciatica can radiate pain to the hip, often affecting posture and the ability to move or walk comfortably.
