Hip / Pelvis
The hips and pelvis are pivotal to your body’s movement and stability. Pain in these areas can disrupt your ability to walk, sit, exercise, or even sleep comfortably, impacting your overall quality of life. At Somatic Physical Therapy, we’re here to help you overcome hip and pelvic discomfort with expert care tailored to your unique needs.
Common Causes of Hip and Pelvic Pain
Thanks to their role in bearing the body’s weight and facilitating movement, the hips and pelvis are susceptible to a wide range of conditions and injuries, including:
- Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Bursitis, leading to swelling and pain around the hip joint
- Muscle strains or ligament injuries from overuse or trauma
- Hip labral tears causing clicking, locking, or instability
- Impingement syndromes or structural irregularities affecting movement
- Pelvic floor dysfunction, which can contribute to pain or imbalance
- Sciatic nerve irritation or referred pain from the lumbar spine
If untreated, pain in the hips or pelvis can lead to compensated movement patterns, further injury, or chronic discomfort. At Somatic Physical Therapy, we are committed to uncovering the root cause of your condition and restoring your mobility.
