Treatment is designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, build strength, and help patients return to daily activity, exercise, and sport.  ##### [Can physical therapy help femoroacetabular impingement?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse2-widget_1779234248103)  Yes. Femoroacetabular impingement, often called FAI or hip impingement, can cause groin pain, stiffness, pinching, or discomfort with sitting, squatting, walking, or exercise. Physical therapy may help by improving hip mobility, strengthening the muscles around the hip and pelvis, and modifying movements that irritate symptoms.  ##### [Can physical therapy help a hip labral tear?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse3-widget_1779234248103)  Physical therapy can often help patients with symptoms related to a hip labral tear. A labral tear may cause groin pain, clicking, catching, stiffness, or pain with rotation-based movements. Treatment may focus on improving hip control, reducing irritation, strengthening the glutes and core, and helping the patient return to activity safely.  ##### [Can physical therapy help hip dysplasia?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse4-widget_1779234248103)  Yes. Hip dysplasia can create instability, pain, stiffness, or difficulty tolerating activity. Physical therapy may help improve strength, control, and support around the hip joint. While physical therapy does not change the shape of the hip joint, it can often help improve function and reduce symptoms.  ##### [Can physical therapy help snapping hip syndrome?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse5-widget_1779234248103)  Yes. Snapping hip syndrome may cause a clicking, popping, or snapping sensation around the front, side, or back of the hip. Physical therapy can help identify whether muscle tightness, tendon irritation, weakness, or movement coordination is contributing to the snapping sensation and associated discomfort.  ##### [Can physical therapy help piriformis syndrome?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse6-widget_1779234248103)  Physical therapy can help patients with piriformis syndrome, which may cause deep buttock pain and sometimes symptoms that travel down the back of the leg. Treatment may include mobility work, soft tissue techniques, hip strengthening, nerve mobility exercises when appropriate, and activity modification.  ##### [Can physical therapy help gluteal tendinopathy?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse7-widget_1779234248103)  Yes. Gluteal tendinopathy is a common source of outer hip pain and may be aggravated by walking, stairs, lying on the affected side, or prolonged standing. Physical therapy typically focuses on progressive strengthening, improving hip and pelvic control, and reducing positions or activities that overload the irritated tendon.  ##### [Can physical therapy help trochanteric bursitis?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse8-widget_1779234248103)  Yes. Trochanteric bursitis, sometimes grouped with greater trochanteric pain syndrome, can cause pain on the outside of the hip. Physical therapy may help by addressing hip strength, movement mechanics, soft tissue irritation, walking tolerance, and activity modification to reduce stress on the painful area.  ##### [Can physical therapy help hip osteoarthritis?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse9-widget_1779234248103)  Physical therapy can be helpful for hip osteoarthritis by improving joint mobility, strength, balance, walking tolerance, and overall function. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, strengthening exercises, mobility work, and strategies to manage pain during daily activities.  ##### [When should I see a physical therapist for hip pain?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse10-widget_1779234248103)  You should consider physical therapy if hip pain is limiting your walking, sitting, exercise, sleep, or daily activities. You should also seek help if you notice groin pain, deep buttock pain, stiffness, clicking, popping, catching, limited range of motion, or pain that radiates toward the thigh or knee.  ##### [What does physical therapy for hip pain include?](https://www.glackinpt.com/hip#collapse11-widget_1779234248103)  Physical therapy for hip pain may include joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage, dry needling, mobility exercises, strengthening, movement retraining, and a gradual return-to-activity plan. At Glackin Physiotherapy, treatment is individualized based on the patient’s symptoms, goals, and hip condition.  [Tell us about your hip pain!](https://www.glackinpt.com/contact/?hsLang=en) ## Physical Therapy for Hip Pain in Atlanta, GA Delaying physical therapy for hip pain can worsen symptoms and lead to further complications, making it crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible.
