Get Trusted Treatment For Hip Pain
When your hips hurt, everything changes. The morning walk you used to enjoy feels impossible, getting in and out of the car takes more effort and sitting through a meeting or a movie leaves you stiff and sore.
Hip pain doesn’t just slow you down — it steals the comfort and freedom you need to live your life the way you want.
At Case Physical Therapy, we dig deep to understand what’s driving your pain — whether it’s irritated joints, tight hip flexors or an imbalance that’s throwing your whole body off. Then, we build a treatment plan designed to help you return to the activities you love, pain-free.
Why Hip Pain Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Hip pain has a way of creeping in quietly. Maybe it starts as a little soreness after a long day or a twinge when you get up from your chair. But without the right care, those small aches can snowball into chronic hip joint pain, stiffness or even pain that radiates into your lower back and knees.
Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away — in fact, it can make daily movement harder and slow your recovery down the line. Whether you’re dealing with sudden hip pain or discomfort that’s been building for months, getting help early is the key to lasting relief.
Signs It’s Time To See A Physical Therapist
Do Any Of The Following Scenarios Sound Relatable?
Not sure if your hip pain is “bad enough” for treatment? Here are a few signs it’s time to schedule an evaluation:
- Pain that lasts more than a few days without improvement
- Sudden hip pain without injury that doesn’t resolve quickly
- Difficulty bearing weight or walking without discomfort
- Lower back and hip pain that affects your daily movements or sleep
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion that limits your normal activities
Early intervention with PT for hip pain often leads to faster recovery. At Case Physical Therapy, we make it simple to get started.

Hip Flexor Pain: Why It Happens
Tight, sore hip flexors are one of the most common reasons patients come to us with hip pain. Long hours of sitting, poor posture and repetitive activities — like running, cycling or certain sports — can all strain the muscles in the front of your hips, leading to discomfort, stiffness and even reduced range of motion.
With PT for hip flexor pain, we take a targeted approach to relieve tension, restore mobility and build the strength needed to support your hips long-term. Through a combination of hands-on therapy, guided stretching and strengthening exercises, we help you move better and prevent the pain from coming back.
Hip Pain During Perimenopause
Hormonal changes during perimenopause can affect more than just mood and energy — they can also impact your joints and muscles. Many women experience hip pain or stiffness during this time, often paired with lower back discomfort or tightness in the hips and legs.
At Case Physical Therapy, we deliver perimenopause hip pain treatment that goes beyond temporary relief. Through a combination of gentle mobility work, targeted strengthening and posture-focused exercises, we help support overall joint health. Our approach is always personalized, helping you feel more comfortable as you navigate these changes.
How Physical Therapy Relieves Hip Pain
When you work with us, your personalized plan may include manual therapy to improve mobility, strengthening exercises for stability, gait and posture retraining and flexibility drills to restore range of motion.
Combined with education and at-home exercises, this approach delivers not only relief but also the confidence to move without hesitation.
Prevention Tips For Healthy Hips
Caring for your hips now can save you from pain and stiffness later. While hip pain physical therapy is the most effective way to address current discomfort, these simple habits can help you keep your hips strong and mobile every day:
- Stay active — Gentle, low-impact exercise like walking or swimming helps keep your joints lubricated and muscles strong.
- Avoid prolonged sitting — Standing, stretching or walking every hour reduces strain on your hips and lower back.
- Focus on posture — Keeping your spine aligned while sitting, standing or exercising can prevent unnecessary stress on your hips.
- Incorporate mobility work — Daily stretches or mobility drills keep your hips flexible and reduce the chance of tightness or imbalance.
- Build strength — Exercises that target your glutes and core help stabilize your hips and prevent pain during daily movements.
Pairing these strategies with hip pain PT can help you stay active, recover faster and reduce your risk of future flare-ups.
