Yes. But only after a through examination as to what is causing the hip pain.
Recommend seeing a physiatrist, a rehab doctor to arrange the right physical therapy. In the meantime, the best help for hip pain is a hiking stick (or cane) used on the opposite side. This will reduce the hip loading by up to 30%.

Yes, physical therapy can potentially help with hip pain. However, hip pain is best treated with a combination of physical therapy and interventional pain management. Please contact Algone Interventional Pain Clinic to schedule a consultation. During this consultation, a physician can recommend the best course of treatment to treat your specific condition and can provide a referral to physical therapy.
The short answer is yes. As always, success would depend on cause of pain and compliance with exercises.
