At AIM Physical Therapy we treat chronic hip pain and improve mobility.
When hip pain becomes chronic, it may impair mobility. This can affect tolerance for walking, sitting and standing. At AIM Physical Therapy we are professionally trained to treat chronic hip pain.
Whether due to a sports injury or an arthritic condition, we will provide a thorough evaluation followed by prompt treatment. We will discuss changes to improve function and develop goals along with you.

Flexibility
Our therapists assist in improving muscle length and appropriate hip motion, key ingredients in creating smooth and coordinated movement at the hip.
Strengthening
As a component of the physical therapy session, the therapist may choose to add strengthening exercises. AIM Physical Therapy utilizes state-of-the-art strengthening equipment in a quiet, calm atmosphere. In addition, the therapist may recommend home exercises so you can regain normal, pain-free function for a return to regular work and leisure activities.
