Hip Pain
Are you struggling with hip pain that's hindering your ability to engage in activities like lifting weights, running, jumping, squatting, climbing stairs, or even getting up from a low seat? Does it interfere with your sleep or impact your performance at work or home?
If so, you’re not alone. Many individuals find themselves in a similar situation, hoping the pain will vanish on its own or trying various remedies without success.
Have you experienced any of the following?
- Anticipating the pain to subside within days or weeks, only to find it lingering.
- Attempting home remedies like heating pads, ice, or TENS units with no relief.
- Seeking temporary respite through massages, only for the pain to return.
- Visiting doctors who provided short-term relief with injections or pills.
- Trying physical therapy without long-lasting results.
- Resigning to avoid activities that exacerbate the pain, compromising your lifestyle.
At Competitive Edge Physical Therapy and Performance, we’re dedicated to providing long-term solutions for hip-related issues. Our team, led by Dr. Joshua Strait, specializes in addressing various hip conditions, including arthritis, labral tears, joint instability, and more.
Our approach at Competitive Edge focuses on:
- Breaking the pain cycle through education, manual therapy, and enhancing tissue mobility.
- Improving joint, muscle, and nerve mechanics during daily tasks and specific exercises.
- Strengthening the hip and gluteal muscle groups for stability.
- Enhancing tissue mobility through various techniques like massage, mobilization, cupping, and stretching.
- Decreasing nerve sensitivity through targeted exercises.
- Progressing to plyometric and functional activities to ensure preparedness without fear of reinjury.
It’s crucial to understand that tissues have the ability to heal, but sometimes they need assistance transitioning from the inflammatory to the recovery phase. Additionally, pain may not always correlate with imaging results, and soreness post-exercise is a natural part of strength gains.
