Hip Physical Therapy
Hip joint connects the extremities to the trunk. It is a second major joint in our extremity which is responsible for carrying the weight of our upper body. As we stand, our weight is distributed evenly from our low back into both pelvic joints and into the hip towards each of our foot. Hence, it is a load bearing joint of our body and connects us to one of the strongest bone, the femur (thigh bone). Among many major muscles, the hip has two Major stabilizing muscles of our legs, Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Maximus. Hip Injuries or pain can be limiting and debilitating for daily activities.
