Hip

What is it?

The hip is one of the body's most important joints, as it connects the trunk to the lower extremities and is involved in practically all of our movements: walking, running, climbing stairs, sitting, or maintaining balance.

Although it is a highly stable joint, it requires the muscles, tendons, fascia, and nervous system to work in a coordinated manner to distribute loads correctly. When this balance is disrupted, discomfort can arise not only in the hip itself, but also in the lumbar spine, pelvis, or even the knee.

Most Common Symptoms

Pain in the groin or lateral aspect of the hip.
Discomfort when walking or running.
Pain when climbing stairs.
Stiffness.
A sensation of catching or locking.
Loss of mobility.
Pain when sleeping on your side.
Pain radiating toward the thigh or knee.

Why does it occur?

Hip discomfort can be related to various factors:

Muscle overload.
Gluteal weakness or strength deficits.
Biomechanical alterations.
Lack of mobility.
Tendon overload.
Trauma.
Degenerative changes.
Poor load distribution during movement.

The Importance of the Glutes and Pelvis

The hip does not work in isolation. It is part of a functional chain that includes the pelvis, lumbar spine, knee, ankle, and foot.

The gluteal muscles play an essential role in pelvic stability and movement control. When they lose strength or coordination, other structures begin to compensate, increasing the load on the hip, back, or knee.

Therefore, treating only the painful area is rarely sufficient. A comprehensive, global assessment allows us to identify which structures are altering movement biomechanics and correct the root cause of the problem.

Therapeutic Approach

Treatment may combine different modalities tailored to each patient's needs:

Manual therapy.
Myofascial release.
Dry needling, when clinically indicated.
Therapeutic exercise.
Pelvic and gluteal stability training.
Movement re-education.
Biomechanical training.
Invasive techniques such as EPTE (Percutaneous Electrolysis Therapy), when clinically indicated.

Treatment Goals

Reduce pain.
Promote tissue repair.
Restore mobility.
Improve muscle strength and elasticity.
Restore load-bearing capacity.
Facilitate a safe return to physical activity.
Reduce the risk of recurrence.

Hip

What is it?

The hip is one of the most important joints in the body, as it connects the trunk with the lower extremities and participates in virtually all of our movements: walking, running, climbing stairs, sitting, or maintaining balance.

Although it is a highly stable joint, it requires muscles, tendons, fascia, and the nervous system to work in a coordinated manner to distribute loads correctly. When this balance is disrupted, discomfort can arise not only in the hip itself but also in the lumbar spine, the pelvis, or even the knee.

Most Frequent Symptoms

Pain in the groin or the lateral aspect of the hip.
Discomfort when walking or running.
Pain when climbing stairs.
Stiffness.
A sensation of catching or locking.
Loss of mobility.
Pain when sleeping on one side.
Pain radiating toward the thigh or knee.

Why Does It Occur?

Hip discomfort can be related to various factors:

Muscle overload.
Gluteal muscle weakness or deficit.
Biomechanical alterations.
Lack of mobility.
Tendinous overload.
Trauma.
Degenerative changes.
Poor load distribution during movement.

The Importance of the Gluteal Muscles and the Pelvis

The hip does not work in isolation. It is part of a functional kinetic chain that includes the pelvis, lumbar spine, knee, ankle, and foot.

Therefore, treating only the painful area is rarely sufficient. A comprehensive assessment allows us to identify which structures are altering movement biomechanics and correct the root cause of the problem.

Therapeutic Approach

Treatment can combine different tools depending on each patient's needs:

Manual therapy.
Myofascial release.
Dry needling, when indicated.
Therapeutic exercise.
Pelvic and gluteal stability training.
Movement re-education.
Biomechanical training.
Invasive techniques such as EPTE, when clinically indicated.

Treatment Objectives

Reduce pain.
Promote tissue healing.
Restore mobility.
Improve muscle strength and flexibility.
Restore load-bearing capacity.
Facilitate a safe return to physical activity.
Reduce the risk of relapse.

Hip

What is it?

The hip is one of the most vital joints in the body, connecting the torso to the lower extremities and participating in virtually all of our movements: walking, running, climbing stairs, sitting, or maintaining balance.

Although it is a highly stable joint, it requires the muscles, tendons, fascia, and nervous system to work in a coordinated manner to properly distribute loads. When this balance is disrupted, discomfort can arise not only in the hip itself but also in the lumbar region, the pelvis, or even the knee.

Most Common Symptoms

Pain in the groin or the lateral aspect of the hip.
Discomfort when walking or running.
Pain when climbing stairs.
Stiffness.
A sensation of joint locking.
Loss of mobility.
Pain when sleeping on one side.
Pain radiating toward the thigh or knee.

Why does it occur?

Hip discomfort can be related to various factors:

Muscle overload.
Gluteal muscle weakness.
Biomechanical dysfunctions.
Lack of mobility.
Tendon overload or tendinopathy.
Trauma.
Degenerative changes.
Poor load distribution during movement.

The Importance of the Glutes and the Pelvis

The hip does not work in isolation. It is part of a functional kinetic chain that includes the pelvis, lumbar spine, knee, ankle, and foot.

The gluteal muscles play an essential role in stabilizing the pelvis and controlling movement. When they lose strength or coordination, other structures begin to compensate, increasing the load on the hip, back, or knee.

Because of this, treating only the painful area is rarely sufficient. A comprehensive global assessment allows us to identify which structures are altering movement biomechanics and correct the root cause of the problem.

Therapeutic Approach

Treatment can combine different modalities tailored to each patient's specific needs:

Manual therapy.
Myofascial release.
Dry needling, when indicated.
Therapeutic exercise.
