Life in Grand Rapids is all about movement—whether it’s enjoying a walk along the riverfront, biking the White Pine Trail, or keeping up with the grandkids at Millennium Park. But when hip pain slows you down, even the simplest things—like climbing the stairs on a snowy morning or standing in line at your favorite local event—can feel overwhelming. If hip discomfort, joint pain, or stiffness keeps you from the vibrant West Michigan lifestyle you love, Athletico Physical Therapy – Grand Rapids (Kentwood) is here to help you move with confidence again.

Understanding Hip Pain Therapy: Your Path Back to Comfort

Hip pain can sneak up on you. Maybe you first noticed it after a long day of gardening, or perhaps it’s a sharp ache that flares up while running around Reeds Lake. Sometimes, it’s a deep, persistent soreness that comes with the changing seasons, especially during our chilly Michigan winters. No matter the cause—be it hip bursitis, it band hip pain, or the aftermath of joint replacement rehab—hip discomfort can disrupt your daily rhythm. That’s where expert hip physical therapy comes in.

At Athletico Physical Therapy – Grand Rapids (Kentwood), our therapists listen to your story and tailor a plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle. Hip pain therapy isn’t just about exercises; it’s about understanding what matters to you, from getting back to Saturday farmers markets to returning to your favorite yoga class at Riverside Park.

What Does Hip Pain Therapy Look Like?

Personalized Assessment and Goal Setting

Every journey begins with understanding where you are now. During your first visit, your physical therapist will ask about your symptoms—is it hip pain while running, stiffness after sitting through a Griffins game, or tightness along your IT band? We’ll assess your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns, then work with you to set realistic, meaningful goals.

Hands-On Care and Targeted Movement

Our approach combines hands-on techniques with guided movement. We may use gentle stretching, joint mobilization, or soft tissue work to ease discomfort and improve flexibility. You’ll learn practical it band stretches for hip pain and strengthening routines that fit your daily life—whether that means shoveling snow in winter or enjoying summer hikes at Provin Trails.

  • Reduce pain and inflammation so you can walk, sit, and sleep more comfortably
  • Restore hip strength for daily activities and sports, from pickleball to running
  • Improve flexibility and balance to prevent future injuries
  • Support your recovery after joint replacement rehab or hip replacement rehab
  • Personalized education on posture, movement, and at-home care
