Hips, Knees & Feet
Hip Pain
Hip pain can show up in the groin, the outer hip or the buttock, and it can come from the hip itself or from the back. Hip pain physical therapy in Commack, NY at Sunshine Physical Therapy sorts out the source and treats it with hands-on care, strengthening and gait training.
Where your hip pain comes from
Location is a clue.
Hip arthritis
Hip arthritis (wear in the joint) usually causes groin pain and stiffness, worse after sitting. Exercise and mobility work help many people stay active.
Outer hip pain
Hip bursitis and gluteal tendon irritation (greater trochanteric pain syndrome) cause outer hip pain, including hip pain lying on your side at night.
Labral tears and hip impingement
A hip labral tear or hip impingement (FAI) can cause pinching or catching when you flex the hip.
Groin pain and hip flexor strain
A hip flexor strain or groin strain often follows kicking, sprinting or sudden stretching.
How physical therapy helps
Hands-on care
Manual therapy and joint mobilization to ease stiffness.
Hip and glute strength
A progression that fits your pain, not a generic sheet.
Gait training
Retraining how you walk, so the hip stops being overloaded.
Before and after hip replacement
If you are planning a hip replacement, getting stronger first helps recovery, and after surgery we follow your surgeon’s plan; see post-surgical rehab. Related pages: knee pain, arthritis and joint pain and sports injury rehab.
