Hip Pain Treatment in St. Augustine, FL
Does your hip ache every time you climb out of the car? Maybe it pinches when you step into a lunge at yoga, or throbs after nine holes. You rest it, it calms down, and then it's right back.
Hip pain can show up in the front of the hip or groin, along the outside of the hip, or deep in the buttock. It might pinch when you bend, ache when you lie on that side, or stiffen up after sitting. For many people it creeps in slowly and never quite goes away on its own.
Look Above and Below
“A sore hip is often stuck in the middle, covering for stiff feet or a stiff back.”
Check how many of these sound like your week.
A sharp pinch when you bend, squat or pull a knee toward you.
Lying on that side at night wakes you up or keeps you up.
The first few steps after a drive or a movie feel creaky.
A walk on the beach starts out fine and ends with a limp.
Putting on shoes or crossing your legs is harder than it used to be.
You lead with the other leg going up, almost without noticing.
Stretching the hip feels good for an hour. But if your feet, knees or back are still moving the same way, the hip keeps absorbing the extra load.
01
Stiff feet or a tight back change how your weight moves through the hip.
02
Your hip works overtime on every step, squat and stair.
03
It eases with rest and stretching, then comes right back with activity.
We stop the cycle by fixing what the hip is covering for. Then we build strong, capable hips with you, ready for yoga, golf or a long hike.
We treat the sore hip and the parts of your body it's been covering for. Every minute is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy.
We map how you move from the feet up with every step you take, so we can see exactly how your hip is being loaded.
Hands-on work to ease a tight, guarded hip and free up the stiff back and feet that keep loading it.
Supervised strength training for glutes, hips and legs, so squats, stairs and long walks feel solid again and stay that way.
Hip pain changes your stride without you noticing. We help you walk evenly again, so every step stops feeding the problem.
For many people, yes. At Renew we treat hip pain by looking at your whole body, starting with your feet, so we can find what the hip is covering for. If it's not something we can help, you'll hear that from us.
You'll find Renew Strength & Wellness at 3670 US-1 South, Unit 100, St. Augustine, FL 32086. We also serve Crescent Beach and Anastasia Island. Call us at 904-295-6772.
That's the goal. Pain-free is not the finish line. We build hip strength and movement for the things you actually want to do, whether that's a round of golf, pickleball or a long hike.
It can. Every step puts load through your hip, so an uneven stride adds up over time. We look at how you walk and help you find a smooth, even rhythm again.
See a doctor first if your hip hurts after a fall and you can't put weight on it, or if the pain comes with a fever or a hip that is suddenly hot and swollen.
It means we look at more than the hip. We check your feet, knees, back and how you walk, because any of them can load the hip. Then we treat everything that's involved.
If your hip is keeping you off the golf course, the yoga mat or the beach, come see us in St. Augustine. We start with your feet and work our way up.
Proudly serving
