Hip pain is rarely just a hip problem. It's the root cause of knee injuries, back pain, and movement breakdowns across the board. We find what's actually wrong and build your hip back stronger than before.
The hip is the most load-bearing joint in the body — and the most under-assessed. It sits between your lower back and your knee, and when it stops working properly, both suffer. Weak glutes force the lower back to compensate. Poor hip mobility collapses the knee inward under load. Most athletes learn to work around it until they can't.
Standard PT usually goes after the symptom: stretch the hip flexor, strengthen the glute med, repeat. But hip pain in athletes is almost always a loading and mechanics problem. We do a full movement screen to identify where your hip is failing — under squat, in gait, or under single-leg load — then rebuild from there.
Whether you're dealing with hip impingement that limits your squat depth, a labral tear from years of high-volume training, piriformis that fires down the back of your leg, or hip flexors that won't stop pulling — we've treated it all and we'll get you back to training.
A starting point while you're waiting to come in — or to supplement your program. These address the most common root causes of hip pain: restricted mobility, glute weakness, and poor single-leg control.
2–3 min per side. Targets the tensor fasciae latae and hip flexor — two of the most chronically tight muscles in desk workers and athletes alike. Pause on tender spots.
The single best drill for developing both internal and external hip rotation simultaneously. 2×10 per side with a 3-second hold at end range. Essential for squat depth and gait.
Targets the piriformis and posterior hip capsule. Hold 2–3 min per side. Don't rush — this is where most athletes are tightest and most resistant to change.
Addresses the iliopsoas directly. Posterior pelvic tilt, reach overhead, hold 90 sec per side. If hip impingement is a factor, we'll modify this for you in the clinic.
The foundation of hip rehab. Activates the gluteus medius, which controls pelvic drop and knee alignment. 3×20 with a band above the knee. Keep the pelvis still throughout.
The best loaded test of hip stability. Reveals asymmetries, trains the glutes and hamstrings under hip hinge load. 3×8 per side with a slow eccentric. Start bodyweight if needed.
Trains adductor and groin strength under load — critical for hip stability and groin strain prevention. 3×8 per side with a 3-second hold at the top.
"I'd been told by two different doctors that my hip impingement would eventually need surgery. These guys had me squatting pain-free in 8 weeks. I'm now hitting depth I haven't had in years. No surgery, no downtime."
"My hip flexor had been pulling every single run for two years. Every other PT gave me the same stretches. Prehab 2 Perform figured out it was a loading issue — I was over-striding. Fixed my mechanics and I haven't had a flare-up since."
"Labral tear at 29. I thought my lifting days were over. Dave and the team built a program around the tear — not instead of it. I'm back to deadlifting 365 and the hip feels better than it did before the diagnosis."
