Living in Chicago means embracing every season—whether you’re catching a fall game at Soldier Field, power-walking the Lakefront Trail in spring, or navigating icy sidewalks in winter. But when hip pain strikes, even simple joys like strolling through Millennium Park or climbing your apartment stairs can feel daunting. That’s where Hip Pain Therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy – Streeterville North comes in. Our team is here to help you move freely and confidently again, so you can get back to enjoying all that the city has to offer.

Why Hip Pain Happens—And Why It’s So Common in Chicago

Chicagoans are always on the move. From weekend runs along the riverwalk to biking through the city’s neighborhoods, our active lifestyle can put extra stress on your hips. Add in the challenge of navigating snow and ice, and it’s no surprise that joint pain—especially hip and knee pain—can sideline even the most dedicated urban explorer.

Hip pain can show up in many ways. Maybe you notice a nagging ache after a long walk, sharp discomfort going up stairs, or stiffness during those cold winter months. Common causes include overuse injuries, hip bursitis, IT band issues, and even discomfort after joint replacement. If you’re a runner, you might feel hip pain while running or tightness from the IT band. No matter how your pain started, you deserve relief and a clear path forward.

How Hip Pain Therapy Can Help You Get Back to What You Love

At Athletico Physical Therapy – Streeterville North, we believe that personalized care is the key to lasting results. Our expert physical therapists start by listening to your story—how your hip pain is affecting your daily life, your favorite activities, and your future goals. From there, we create a therapy plan that’s as unique as you are.

Hip Pain Therapy is not just about exercises. It’s about restoring your confidence to move, teaching you strategies to prevent future injuries, and supporting you every step of the way. Whether you’re recovering from joint replacement, managing hip bursitis, or seeking relief from IT band hip pain, we’ll guide you through:

  • Targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to improve hip mobility and stability
  • Manual therapy techniques to reduce stiffness and promote healing
  • Education on proper body mechanics for walking, running, and daily activities
  • Personalized home programs, including IT band stretches for hip pain
  • Strategies to minimize knee pain and support joint health—especially important for those navigating Chicago’s uneven sidewalks

You’ll receive a thorough assessment to determine the root cause of your hip pain—whether it’s related to sports injury, joint pain from daily wear and tear, or post-surgical needs like hip replacement rehab or joint replacement rehab.

We’ll talk through your lifestyle, from your commute on the L to your favorite weekend activities, and build a plan that fits your real life. Our therapists are experts in hip physical therapy and understand the demands of city living, from marathon training to simply carrying groceries up three flights of stairs.
