Hip Pain Shouldn't Limit Your Performance

 What starts as minor discomfort can quickly become the barrier that keeps you from the activities you love.

Generic Physical Therapy Falls Short

 Most PT clinics aren't equipped to handle the unique demands of athletes and active adults. Cookie-cutter exercises and rushed appointments won't address the root cause of your hip pain.

Limited by Insurance Restrictions

Traditional clinics are bound by insurance limitations, forcing treatment plans based on what's covered rather than what you actually need for optimal recovery and performance.

Missing Workouts and Activities

Every day spent dealing with hip pain is another day away from running, lifting, sports, and the active lifestyle that defines who you are. Don't let pain become your new normal.

What our Clients Say

"Larry changed my life - after a lower back injury, I ran the circuit of Chiropractors, X-Rays and MRI's for more than a year and couldn't find relief. In just a handful of sessions, Larry's recovery program had massively improved my issue and I am now back to working out regularly and am essentially pain free."

My 14-year-old son loves basketball, but for over a year he struggled with constant knee pain that no doctor, physical therapist, or strength program could truly fix. Dr. Larry immediately recognized the exact symptoms my son was dealing with. His confidence, knowledge, and clear plan instantly put us at ease. The results were incredible. Not only did the knee pain disappear, but during games he had noticeably more stamina and far less exhaustion.

Larry is compassionate, detail oriented and extremely professional. Both of my high school athletes have worked with Larry to recover from overuse injuries. Larry guided us from consultation, strength training, rebuilding and created individual recovery plans for my kids. This is not a 'one size fits all' treatment program. Larry has changed our lives.

 I had a great experience with Dr. Sarah. After spending 6 weeks at another clinic without improvement, I was frustrated and unsure about what to do. Dr. Sarah took the time to understand my history and quickly figured out what was wrong. The exercises she recommended were effective, and I'm now back to running and playing basketball.

Hip Pain Physical Therapy FAQs

Common questions about our approach and process

Do you accept insurance for hip pain physical therapy? 

 Fuel Sports PT operates as an out-of-network provider, which means we're not bound by insurance restrictions. This allows us to create treatment plans based on what you actually need for optimal recovery, not what insurance dictates. We provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find they receive better, faster results with fewer total visits.

 How long are physical therapy sessions for hip pain? 

Every session is a full 60 minutes of one-on-one time exclusively with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Unlike traditional clinics where you might see an assistant or share time with other patients, your therapist works with only you for the entire hour. This dedicated attention allows for comprehensive treatment, real-time adjustments, and faster progress.

How soon can I be seen for hip pain?

We typically have availability for new patients within one week, and often have openings within 24-48 hours Monday through Friday. The sooner you start treatment after injury, the faster your recovery typically is. Many clinics have month-long waitlists, but we've structured our practice to get you started quickly.

What should I expect at my first hip pain appointment?

 Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation where we assess your movement patterns, identify the root cause of your hip pain, and discuss your specific goals as an athlete or active adult. You'll receive a customized treatment plan tailored to your body and sport. We start treatment during this first session—no waiting for future appointments to begin your recovery.
