Hip Pain Physical Therapy in Durham, NC
Hip pain has a way of creeping into everything: walking the dog, getting out of the car, sleeping on your side, finishing a run. If it has lingered for weeks or months, or keeps coming back, it is time to find the real cause. At Equipt For Life, Dr. Daniel Howard, PT, DPT, a Duke-trained Doctor of Physical Therapy, gives you a full hour of one-on-one care to figure out what your hip needs and build the strength to keep it healthy for life.

How we treat hip pain
The hip is a powerful joint that sits between your back and your knees, so hip pain is often tied to how the whole chain moves. Your plan is built around you and typically includes:
- A detailed movement and strength assessment of the hips, pelvis, and low back
- Clear education on what is driving your pain and what activities are safe right now
- Hands-on manual therapy when it helps
- Progressive strength training for the glutes, hips, and core, so you can get back to the things you love
- A clear home program you can follow on your own
