Hip Pain Treatment in Reno
Personalized, Evidence-Based Physical Therapy at Strength in Motion
Understanding Hip Pain
Hip pain can impact your ability to walk, run, sit, squat, or dance. Whether it’s a sharp pinch in the front, aching in the groin, or stiffness in the joint, hip pain often stems from a combination of structural issues, muscle imbalance, and movement dysfunction.
At Strength in Motion, we treat hip pain with a full-body, research-backed approach. And we know what you’re going through—because we’ve been through it ourselves.
We’ve Been There
Jessie, a former professional ballet dancer, underwent hip labral surgery after years of managing pain during training and performance. With a Pilates-based rehab plan, she returned to dancing stronger and more aware of her body than ever before. Now, she brings that insight to her work with dancers and athletes at all levels.
Ryan, a lifelong runner, has experienced hip pain firsthand—and successfully treated many runners through targeted rehab, strength work, and running-specific movement analysis.
We bring our personal experience and clinical expertise together to help you move with strength, confidence, and purpose.
Common Hip Diagnoses We Treat
Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS)
Who it affects: Common in athletes, especially dancers, gymnasts, and runners in their teens to 40s.
Our approach: Restore hip control, strengthen the core and deep rotators, and retrain high-load movements like squats, leaps, and sprints.1
Hip Dysplasia
Who it affects: More common in young women, particularly dancers and hypermobile individuals.
Our approach: Improve neuromuscular control, limit end-range loading, and emphasize postural and core support through Pilates and strength training.2
Hip Osteoarthritis (OA)
Who it affects: Adults over 50, often with a history of high-impact activity or previous hip injuries.
Our approach: Progressive loading, strength training, mobility work, and education—research shows exercise is more effective than rest or passive treatment.3
Gluteal Tendinopathy
Who it affects: Most common in women over 40, particularly those who are active or spend long hours sitting or standing.
Our approach: Load management, progressive strengthening of the gluteal muscles, and movement retraining to reduce compression and shear forces across the tendons.7
Our Hip Rehab Philosophy
Hip rehab is not just about stretching tight muscles—it’s about restoring control, building strength, and correcting movement inefficiencies from the ground up.
At Strength in Motion, we offer:
Whole-Body Assessment
We evaluate how your spine, pelvis, core, knees, and feet contribute to hip stress. Often, hip pain reflects issues in other areas.
Manual Therapy
Strength & Movement Training
Pilates-Based Rehab
