Beyond Basics: How Edge PT Addresses Hip Pain When Other Solutions Fall Short

Hip pain can be debilitating, affecting everything from daily activities to physical fitness routines. If you've tried various methods to alleviate your discomfort without success, you're not alone. At Edge PT, we understand the frustration of persistent hip pain and offer comprehensive solutions to help you overcome it.

Understanding Your Symptoms

It's essential to identify and understand your specific hip pain symptoms to tailor an effective treatment plan. Here's a breakdown of common hip pain scenarios and how Edge PT can help:

  1. Can Run Without Pain, but Experience Discomfort with Squatting: While running may not trigger pain, activities like squatting can exacerbate discomfort. At Edge PT, we focus on strengthening exercises tailored to target the muscles supporting the hip joint. Our approach includes dynamic core, hip, and glute work to improve stability and alleviate pain during movements like squatting.

  2. Difficulty Sleeping Due to Hip Pain: Hip pain can disrupt sleep, impacting your overall well-being. Our therapists incorporate techniques such as joint mobility exercises and diaphragmatic breathing to promote relaxation and reduce nighttime discomfort. By addressing mobility issues and optimizing breathing patterns, we aim to enhance sleep quality and alleviate hip pain-related sleep disturbances.

  3. Able to Sit and Walk Without Pain, but Experience Discomfort with Bodyweight Exercises: While sitting and walking may not cause pain, bodyweight exercises can lead to discomfort. Edge PT specializes in stability training to address muscle imbalances and movement dysfunctions contributing to hip pain. We focus on retraining movement patterns and teaching proper engagement of the lower abdominals to support pain-free exercise performance.

Our Approach to Hip Pain Relief

At Edge PT, we take a holistic approach to hip pain management, incorporating a combination of strengthening, stability training, and mobility work tailored to your individual needs. Here's how we can help you overcome hip pain when other solutions fall short:

  1. Strengthening and Jumping Activities: We design customized strengthening programs to target weak muscles and improve hip joint stability. By incorporating jumping activities, we enhance dynamic strength and prepare your body for pain-free movements like running and lifting.

  2. Return-to-Run Progression: Our therapists guide you through a gradual return-to-run program, emphasizing proper technique and pacing to minimize the risk of reinjury. We focus on progressive loading and monitoring to ensure a smooth transition back to running without exacerbating hip pain.

  3. Dynamic Core, Hip, and Glute Work: We integrate dynamic exercises targeting the core, hip, and glute muscles to improve stability and reduce strain on the hip joint during functional movements. By strengthening these muscle groups, we enhance overall hip function and alleviate pain during activities like squatting and lifting.

  4. Continued Mobility Work: We emphasize the importance of ongoing mobility work to maintain optimal hip joint mobility and prevent stiffness and discomfort. Our therapists prescribe targeted stretches and joint mobility exercises to improve flexibility and reduce hip pain associated with restricted range of motion.
