Can Physiotherapy help my sore hip?
Does your hip ache or hurt when you try to stand up or walk? Does the pain radiate around your buttock or into your groin? Do you feel like your hip might “give out” or “catch” when you take a step? All these symptoms are signs of a hip injury.
The hip joint is a large ball-shaped bone that is protected in a socket with multiple layers of ligaments and muscles that work to control its movement. Injury to any of these structures will lead to pain and problems within your hip. Injuries that involve the hip can be caused by a traumatic event (such as falling from a horse or slipping on ice) or they can progress slowly (such as with wear and tear from arthritis).
At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, we deal with hip injuries daily. By thoroughly examining the hip, we can identify which structures are injured so we can develop an action plan to get your hip back to full potential. Treatment for hips always focuses on hands on therapy and exercise.
