Physical Therapy for Hip Pain and Hip Injury Recovery

Meet the Bend, Oregon Hip Pain Experts

The hips are critically crucial for most daily activities. They are responsible for supporting the pelvis and core and provide the foundation for most activities, including transitions, walking and running, skiing, and biking. Hip pain can be caused by various factors you shouldn’t overlook because when the hips aren’t functioning properly, other parts of the body also begin to suffer.

Hip Anatomy

The hip is one of the body’s most complicated joints. As a ball and socket joint, it is the largest weight-bearing joint in the body. Ligaments connect the ball to the socket and keep everything together. As a ball and socket joint, the hip is highly mobile, like the shoulder. Hip dysfunction can be caused by injury, tightness, and weakness. When the hip isn’t functioning correctly, the body will lean on other areas to support the weight. A perfect example of this is someone who has knee pain. Knee pain is often caused by weakness in the hips, which can lead to abnormal tracking of the patella (kneecap) down to the feet.

What causes hip pain?

Some common causes of hip pain include overuse, injury, and osteoarthritis, resulting in joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. In sports-related injuries, overuse occurs when repeated movement patterns place excess stress on the joint and soft tissues, causing them to deteriorate.
