Hip Injury Treatment Staten Island, NY - Physical Therapy for Hip Pain Staten Island

Hip pain can make walking, sitting, or even sleeping uncomfortable. These injuries often develop from overuse, sports strain, arthritis, or a fall that affects the muscles and joints around the hip.

Benefits of Physical Therapy for Hip Injuries

Physical therapy supports both short- and long-term healing by:

Reducing inflammation and stiffness
Improving joint strength and stability
Restoring normal walking patterns
Preventing re-injury through guided movement
Promoting faster, more complete recovery after surgery or strain

Preventing Future Hip Problems

Once pain begins to improve, preventing re-injury becomes the next focus. Gerald Mondares teaches patients how to maintain flexibility and build hip and core strength to support proper alignment. Practicing good posture, avoiding prolonged sitting, and easing into physical activity after long periods of rest can make a lasting difference in hip health.

These steps not only protect the hip joints but also improve balance and lower back comfort, keeping the entire body moving efficiently.
