Adequate hip strength and mobility are imperative for healthy backs and legs, particularly in a walking city like New York.
The pelvis acts as a weight bearing foundation for the spine and a portal to the lower limb. Inefficient movement patterns can develop from decreases in muscle length, strength, or neuromuscular connectivity to the brain.
At James Fowler Physical Therapy, our team is devoted to fine tuning the intricacies of your body, as no injury and no person's needs are the same. From minor hip and pelvic pain to nerve entrapment and post-surgical rehabilitation, our therapists are equipped to diagnose and maximize function and stability of the pelvic girdle.
Hips Conditions
Hip & Pelvic Pain
Hip and pelvic pain can be extremely debilitating and painful. As the foundation for your spine and center of movement for the lower extremities, the pelvis is vital for a healthy body. Our team of therapists do a thorough evaluation to get to the root of the pain.
Nerve Entrapment
We treat nerve entrapment with caution. Symptom control is priority when dealing with nerve entrapment as pressure to the nerve can cause further damage. Once the symptoms improve, our team can get to work on balancing muscular imbalances and improve the health of tissue surrounding the nerve.
Post-Surgical Reconstruction
Post surgical hip reconstruction therapy is important to start as soon as the patient is allowed. Following close communication with the orthopedic surgical team, our team will create comprehensive programs to allow for prompt healing, strength and stability of the hip joint.
Muscle Tear or Strain
Hip muscle tears and strains are often dynamic injuries and have to be treated in a dynamic fashion. The first step is calming down the inflammation and pain. Then slowly building the strength and range of motion of the pelvic region.
Repetitive Strain Injury
At JFPT we treat repetitive strain injuries in a holistic way. In order to let the strain heal promptly it is important to understand the cause of the problem. A look into the patient's injury history, occupation and lifestyle helps guide our therapists.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Patients with myofascial pain syndrome in the hip will have their gait, injury history, strength and range of motion evaluated. A combination of different manual techniques including Active Release Techniques and Muscle Energy Techniques will help create a healthy environment.
Sports Technique Rehabilitation
When treating sports related hip injuries we like to start therapy as early as possible. While it is important to allow the body time to rest and heal, our goal is to work on safely restoring the patient's stability and flexibility.
