Hip pain can significantly impact your mobility and daily life. Whether it’s due to instability, labral tears, or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), addressing the root cause is essential for lasting relief. At Pelvic Prime, we specialize in treating these conditions with tailored, one-on-one care to restore stability, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life.
Hip instability, labral tears, and impingement are distinct conditions that often share overlapping symptoms. Understanding their causes can help guide treatment:
Caused by loose ligaments, cartilage damage, or weak supporting muscles.
Can result from trauma, repetitive stress, or congenital abnormalities like hip dysplasia.
Occur when the cartilage surrounding the hip socket (labrum) is torn.
Often caused by repetitive twisting motions, structural abnormalities, or trauma.
Results from abnormal contact between the femoral head and hip socket.
Often associated with bone overgrowth or structural irregularities.
Pain in the groin, outer hip, or buttocks.
Clicking, locking, or catching sensations in the hip.
Limited range of motion or stiffness, especially during deep bending or rotation.
Feelings of giving way or instability in the hip joint.
Discomfort during prolonged sitting, walking, or athletic activities.
If you experience these symptoms, early intervention can prevent further complications.
At Pelvic Prime, we provide individualized care to address your hip concerns effectively. Our approach includes:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough assessment of your hip’s strength, mobility, and alignment to identify contributing factors.
2. Manual Therapy

3. Targeted Strengthening Exercises
Building stability in the hip, glutes, and core to address imbalances and prevent further injury.
4. Movement Retraining
Teaching proper biomechanics to reduce stress on the hip and enhance functional movement patterns.
5. Education and Prevention
Providing guidance on activity modifications, posture, and exercises to support long-term hip health.
Strengthening programs targeting the glutes and core.
Manual therapy to restore joint balance and reduce strain.
Education on avoiding positions or activities that exacerbate instability.
Focused rehabilitation to reduce pain and improve hip mechanics.
