Why physical therapy for hip pain treatment?

Physical therapy is a discipline built around using the body to treat issues affecting the musculoskeletal system. Because of this basic approach, physical therapy is able to offer the following benefits to patients with hip pain:

• It’s all natural — Other treatments like medication can bring temporary relief, but this is only masking the pain. A physical therapist uses the body itself, through stretches and exercises, to achieve results.
• It improves range of motion — Physical therapy is not just about pain relief, it’s designed to promote the long-term health and function of the body. In many cases, hip pain can be rooted in issues such as a mechanical difficulty or muscle imbalance. A physical therapist can help increase range of motion through targeted techniques.
• It increases strength and stability — Hip pain can also develop because of the amount of pressure placed on this all-important joint from daily movement and our own body weight. With exercises that can strengthen and stabilize the surrounding muscles, physical therapy can relieve this pressure, potentially helping with pain and prevention of future injuries.
