Your physical therapist will create a hip joint pain treatment plan based on the underlying cause of your hip joint pain. The therapist will teach you stretches and exercises to increase the flexibility and strength of the hip. Aerobic exercises that don’t aggravate the hip, such as swimming, may also be included.
For bursitis, physical therapy may include ultrasound and massage. Your physical therapist can also teach you better posture and gait to reduce your pain.
