- Misaligned posture

True hip pain relief
Physical therapy can help you find the source of your hip discomfort safely and effectively. Physical therapy gives patients the knowledge and resources they need to deal with their discomfort and find lasting relief.
First, a licensed physical therapist from Blue Ridge Physical Therapy in Johnson City, TN will conduct a thorough history that includes the nature of the pain, weakness, and functional limitations, as well as all relevant health and medical history.
Next, they will examine your hips to identify structural damage or evidence of misalignment. Additionally, your physical therapist will evaluate your gait, posture, balance, and range of motion.
After completing the comprehensive evaluation, we will create a customized treatment plan for you. Often targeted manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilizations and specific exercises and stretches, are given to patients to alleviate joint pain and increase mobility.
Physical therapy will include muscle-strengthening exercises in your treatment plan. In addition, instruction and corrections to your posture help you distribute your weight more evenly to ensure you restore your function fully.
These techniques enhance movement, providing the right environment for injured tissues to repair and alleviate hip pain. You’ll be back to your favorite hobbies in no time, with more mobility, strength, and less discomfort!
