Yes, a physical therapist can be instrumental in helping with a hip injury. They assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan to address pain, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles around the hip joint. This may include exercises, stretches, manual therapy, and techniques to promote healing.
Physical therapy can also help prevent future injuries by correcting movement patterns and enhancing joint stability. It's an effective, non-invasive way to support recovery and regain functionality.
But first - go see a physician to check you out.

yes, a PT can help hip pain. They will evaluate you and see what the cause of the pain is and then treat accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, a physical therapist can many times help patients with hip pain. Usually, your medical doctor will refer you to a physical therapist if they feel that they can help you. Or they may refer you to a chiropractor for treatment.
