Physical therapy for hip pain, hip impingement, and hip arthritis in Burlington, NC
Hip pain can show up in the groin, on the side of the hip, deep in the buttock, or even down the thigh — and it often gets blamed on the back or knee. Our physical therapist will sort out exactly where your pain is coming from and restore the hip mobility and strength you need to walk, sit, squat, climb stairs, and play without pain.
Common conditions we treat
- Hip impingement (FAI) and labral irritation
- Gluteal tendinopathy and greater trochanteric bursitis (lateral hip pain)
- Hip flexor and groin strains
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Piriformis syndrome and deep gluteal pain
- Pre- and post-operative care, including hip replacement and hip arthroscopy
- Hip mobility limitations affecting the golf swing
How we help
- A thorough one-hour evaluation to find the true source of your pain — not just where it hurts
- Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and soft-tissue work to reduce pain and restore motion
- Individualized strength and mobility programming you can do at home or in the gym (delivered through the Physitrack app)
- Education on posture, movement habits, and activity modification so you stay better once you are better
- Clear return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-golf progressions
What to expect
Your one-hour evaluation looks at hip motion, strength, and how the hip works with your low back, pelvis, and knee during real-life movements. Treatment begins at the first visit and typically blends hands-on work with a progressive strength and mobility program tailored to your goals.
