What Is Hip Pain?

At Penrose Physical Therapy, two of the most common causes of hip pain we see are gluteal tendinopathy and hip arthritis.

Gluteal tendinopathy occurs when the tendons around the outside of the hip become irritated or begin to degenerate over time. It’s especially common in women, particularly after menopause, and often causes pain along the outside of the hip.

Hip arthritis is another common source of discomfort. As the joint changes over time, everyday weight-bearing activities can become more uncomfortable, making it harder to stay active and independent.

Because several conditions can cause similar symptoms, a thorough assessment is essential to determine the true source of your hip pain and create the most effective treatment plan.

What are the symptoms of Hip Pain?

Hip pain can present differently depending on the underlying cause, but many people notice symptoms that gradually interfere with daily life.

Common symptoms include:

    • Pain along the outside of the hip
    • Groin pain that may travel toward the knee
    • Pain when walking or climbing stairs
    • Discomfort when standing for longer periods
    • Difficulty sleeping on the affected side
    • Pain during exercise, gardening, or other physical activities
    • Stiffness or reduced mobility

Many people also find themselves avoiding activities they enjoy because they worry about making the pain worse or simply can’t move as comfortably as they once could.

What Is Our Approach To Fixing / Treating Hip Pain?

At Penrose Physical Therapy, we believe successful treatment begins with understanding exactly what’s contributing to your symptoms. During your one-on-one evaluation, we’ll identify what’s weak, what’s tight, what’s irritated, and how your movement patterns may be affecting your hip.

Your personalized treatment plan may include:

  • One-on-one care with a licensed physical therapist
  • Hands-on manual therapy
  • Personalized strengthening and mobility exercises
  • Movement retraining for walking, stairs, and daily activities
  • Education on sleeping positions and activity modifications
  • Advanced regenerative therapies when appropriate

Our goal is to help you strengthen the right muscles without overloading irritated tissues. We work closely with you throughout your recovery, adjusting your treatment plan as your symptoms improve and ensuring your exercises continue supporting healing rather than aggravating the problem.

By combining personalized physical therapy with advanced regenerative treatments, we help many patients restore mobility, improve function, and return to the activities they enjoy with greater confidence.
