HIP

Comprehensive Care for Hip Pain and Function

At Therapy Nexus, we specialize in hip physical therapy designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore full function. Our integrated approach focuses on sacroiliac (SI) alignment, hip and core stabilization, hip mobility, and lumbar mobilization to break the cycle of dysfunction and promote long-term relief.

Focus Areas for Hip Rehabilitation

  • Sacroiliac Alignment: Proper SI joint alignment is essential for lower body stability and lasting comfort. Our manual therapy techniques correct misalignments and reduce pain. Once alignment is achieved, we retrain the surrounding hip musculature to stabilize the correction—helping prevent recurring dysfunction.
  • Hip and Core Stabilization: Strengthening the stabilizing muscles of the hips and core builds a solid foundation that supports movement and reduces strain on the hip joint.
  • Hip Mobility Enhancement: Targeted mobility work restores healthy movement, reducing compensations and minimizing stress on the knees, pelvis, and lower back.
  • Lumbar Mobilization: Gentle lumbar mobilization relieves stiffness, enhances range of motion, and complements hip treatment for total lower-body balance.
  • Evidence-Based Care: Every treatment we offer is grounded in the latest clinical research to ensure safe, effective, and lasting results.


Common Conditions We Treat

  • Hip impingement (FAI)
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Hip labral tears
  • Bursitis
  • SI joint dysfunction
  • Muscle strains and overuse injuries
  • Post-surgical hip rehabilitation

What to Expect


Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess hip mobility, SI joint alignment, lumbar flexibility, and core strength to identify the root cause of pain and dysfunction.

Personalized Care Plan: Your plan will include manual therapy, mobility work, and targeted strengthening exercises customized to your individual needs.

Integrated Approach: We address the entire kinetic chain to ensure your hips, pelvis, and lower back function together in harmony.

Education and Prevention: Learn strategies to maintain alignment, improve strength, and prevent recurring issues so you can stay active and pain-free.


Research Supporting Our Approach

  • Electromyographic Analysis of Core Trunk, Hip, and Thigh Muscles During Rehabilitation Exercises
    This study analyzes the activation of trunk, hip, and thigh muscles during key rehab exercises, emphasizing the importance of hip and core strengthening in physical therapy.
  • Hip Strengthening Prior to Functional Exercises Reduces Pain Earlier Than Quadriceps Strengthening in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
    This randomized clinical trial found that prioritizing hip strengthening before functional exercises leads to faster pain reduction, highlighting the importance of hip stability in recovery.
  • When Treating Coexisting Low Back Pain and Hip Impairments, Does the Order of Treatment Matter?
    This randomized controlled trial explores the sequence of treating low back pain and hip impairments, underscoring the connection between lumbar mobilization and hip mobility in rehabilitation.

Relieve Lumbar, Hip, and Knee Pain with These Exercises

Hip and knee pain often stem from underlying issues in the lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint. Likewise, hip dysfunction can contribute to knee pain, while gait imbalances can worsen back symptoms. To address these interconnections, Dr. Hilary and Dr. Wayne have created a curated YouTube playlist featuring their go-to exercises for improving strength, mobility, and overall function. These evidence-based movements are designed to help you move better and recover faster.
