as from certain injuries. Inflamed tendons from over-exertion or an athletic injury can cause temporary or chronic hip pain. Tendinitis, dislocation, sprains, and pinched nerves can all contribute to or be the cause of hip pain. Hip pain may also result from repetitive injuries or poor posture. What to Expect During Your Physical Therapy Appointment Upon your first visit to FYZICAL, your physical therapist will ask you many health-related questions about your medical history and pain. If hip, neck, or back pain is due to having poor posture, your physical therapist is also likely to recommend adjustments to improve it. Making sure you have an ergonomic workspace, including your chair, desk, and computer screen height can do wonders for improving your posture! During your examination, your physical therapist might assess your flexibility, strength, balance, posture, coordination, blood pressure, and heart rate. They might use their hands to touch and evaluate your back and surrounding areas to check for tightness.
