Why Hip Pain Keeps Showing Up
Hip pain doesn’t always feel sharp or dramatic. It can, but more often than not, it’s a deep and nagging pain that is hard to ignore.
You feel it after sitting too long.
When standing up.
When lying on that side at night.
Stretching often doesn’t help—because flexibility usually isn’t the problem.
Hip pain is most often caused by how the joint is loading, not how far it stretches. Whether you have been told you have a labral tear, arthritis, are "bone-on-bone," or worse "just have bad hips."
When the muscles around the hip don’t coordinate properly, the joint takes stress it wasn’t designed to handle. The same goes for the joints at the foot, ankle, knee, and spine. When one link of the chain is not operating properly, you can develop feelings of hip compression, irritation, and pain never seem to go away.
We correct how your hip is loading and moving:
- Restore balanced movement in all directions
- Improve strength where the joint lacks support
- Reduce compression inside the hip
- Retrain patterns that irritate the joint
- Return smooth, pain-free movement
- Look above and below the hip to identify contributing factors
