Physical Therapy for the Hip
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy helps improve movement, relieve pain, encourage blood flow for faster healing, and restore your physical function and fitness level.
Your hip specialist might order physical therapy to help you recover from surgery, injury, or long-term health problems, such as arthritis.
What does Hip Physical Therapy Involve?
Your physical therapist will determine your symptoms and design a working treatment plan to reduce your pain, improve your mobility, and get you back to your daily activities. The physical therapy treatments for hip pain include:
- Stretching exercises: Physical therapists guide you step by step to stretch certain areas of your body to restore flexibility, enhance the movement of the joints and muscles.
- Core strengthening and stability exercises: Physical therapists design specific exercises to improve core strength.
- Ultrasound: Your hip specialist may order an ultrasound, which sends high-frequency sound waves over your body to stimulate deep body tissues and blood flow, and facilitate the healing process.
- Electrostimulation: Your hip specialist may order electrostimulation, which passes an electric current through the hip to help relieve pain, stimulate muscles and nerves, and expand blood vessels.
Hip pain can make you feel helpless and hopeless. You don’t have to take your pain for granted. Let our physical therapists and specialists design a treatment plan for your hip pain.
