HIP PAIN
Your hips are supposed to carry you through life, not hold you back from it!
Hip pain has a way of showing up in everything — walking the dog, climbing stairs, getting out of the car, or just rolling over in bed. Whether it came on suddenly or has been creeping up for months, you don't have to just live with it. At Active Alliance Physical Therapy, we help people throughout Greenville, Mauldin, Five Forks, Simpsonville, and Greer get to the bottom of their hip pain and get back to the activities they love.
Common Causes of Hip Pain We Treat
Hip pain can come from a lot of different places — the joint itself, the surrounding muscles, or even be referred from your low back. Some of the most common conditions we see include:
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Hip labral tears
- Hip bursitis / greater trochanteric pain syndrome
- Hip impingement (FAI)
- Hip flexor strains
- Piriformis syndrome and sciatica-type pain
- Post-surgical recovery, including total hip replacement
- IT band syndrome
- Pain referred from the low back or SI joint
If you're not sure what's causing your pain, that's exactly what your evaluation is for — we'll help you figure it out!
How We Approach Hip Pain
We never treat "hip pain" as one generic diagnosis. Your hip pain has a specific cause, and it deserves a specific plan. During your one-on-one evaluation, we'll take time to understand your symptoms, your goals, and how this pain is showing up in your daily life or sport, then perform a thorough movement and strength assessment to figure out what's really driving your symptoms. Sometimes hip pain is a complex issue involving multiple parts, and we’re here to untangle that mess and give you a clear plan for recovery.
Your treatment plan may include:
Manual Therapy — hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and calm irritated tissue
Therapeutic Exercise — targeted strengthening for the hip, glutes, and core to restore stability and take pressure off the joint
Dry Needling — to address stubborn muscle tightness and referred pain patterns
Education — a clear explanation of what's going on and why, so you understand your plan every step of the way
Return-to-activity and return-to-sport training — so you're not just pain-free, but confident moving again!
Why Choose Active Alliance for Your Hip Pain
We believe the best outcomes come from real communication and connection between you and your therapist — not a rotating cast of providers or a rushed 15-minute visit. Every session is one-on-one, for the full hour, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who knows your case inside and out.
Our therapists have training in advanced orthopedic manual physical therapy, so you're getting hands-on skill combined with a plan built specifically for your hip, your goals, and your life — not a cookie-cutter protocol.
