Hip Pain Physical Therapy in Lexington, KY

Don't Let Hip Pain Call the Shots

Hip pain that flares during squats, tightens after long runs, or nags through everyday movement doesn't have to sideline your training. We use hands-on manual therapy and targeted strength work to find the root cause and build a plan around your goals. One-on-one. No referral needed. Cash-pay with HSA/FSA accepted.

When Hip Pain Doesn't Get the Right Care

The Pain Keeps Coming Back

You stretch, foam roll, and rest for a few days, then it flares again the moment you squat, run, or get back under a bar. Without addressing what's actually driving it, the cycle just repeats.

Training Around It Creates a New Problem

Favoring one side or cutting depth on your squat shifts load onto tissue that wasn't built to carry it. What started as hip pain turns into knee or low back pain too.

Rest Doesn't Fix What's Underneath

Backing off training calms things down for a while, but it doesn't change the mechanics causing the pain. Most people return to the same movement and get the same result.

What Lexington Athletes Are Saying

Patients describe getting real answers to hip pain that traditional PT never gave them.

Had some mild Achilles pain creep up during training. The Athlete House got me in promptly to see Becca, who gave me an evaluation and walked me through several rehab exercises for me to do at home, as well as dry needling my achilles. Couldn't recommend this place enough; I caught my injury early, and Becca helped point me in the direction to keep me on the right path! I was admittedly nervous, but I was blown away. Thank you all so much! :)

I went to see David at The Athlete House for a very bad shin splint. He did a full body assessment to see where my weaknesses were and to find the cause of the issue. There are no bandaid fixes at The Athlete House. He created a program to rehab the injury and strengthen my leg muscles to prevent reoccurrence. I highly recommend David for any injury or nagging discomfort you may have. I am shin splint free, running again, and getting stronger after each PT session. You won’t want to stop going even after you are pain free! Even my mini cow supports the Athlete House!

I visited Rebecca at the Athlete House Physical Therapy after a knee injury. She was the best and the facility was super clean! She provided excellent care in house and even sent me home with additional exercises to aid in my recovery! Her passion for helping people showed through her superb care. I would highly recommend !!

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy for hip pain?

No referral needed. Kentucky allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule your first appointment at The Athlete House without seeing a physician first. Book your discovery call and come in ready to talk through your hip pain and training goals.

What does physical therapy for hip pain actually involve?

We start with a movement assessment to understand what's driving your hip pain — mechanics, mobility, or strength deficits. Treatment combines hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted strength progressions built around your training and goals, not a generic exercise sheet.

Can I keep training while treating hip pain?

In most cases, yes. We build your plan around your training schedule, modifying what needs to change while keeping you as active as possible. Most people continue a version of their workouts throughout care, adjusted based on your movement, not a blanket rest prescription.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on how long the pain has been present, what's driving it, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people notice meaningful improvement within a few sessions. We set clear expectations during your initial evaluation so you know what to plan for before committing to care.

Do you accept insurance for hip pain treatment?

The Athlete House is a cash-pay clinic. We accept credit cards, HSA cards, and FSA cards, and we provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Pricing is discussed during your discovery call — no surprises before you book.
