Physical Therapy for Hip Pain
At Iron PT, we will not use a “cookie cutter” treatment for your hip injury. Your highly trained Doctor of Physical Therapy will conduct a thorough one-on-one evaluation to understand your personal goals and uncover the cause and severity of your hip pain.
Then, they will create a customized treatment plan incorporating the very latest hands on techniques and exercises to build strength and give you full, pain-free range of motion.

Patient Success Stories
“Iron PT pulled out all the stops to get me back. After I got my hip replacement, I just kept getting better. To the surprise of my surgeon and coworkers, I was able to return to my patrol duties as a police officer only two months after surgery.
I now have the confidence to run, jump and tangle with suspects on the street once more. I was seriously considering retirement, but Dr. Mayes helped make it possible for me to look forward to finishing my last five years, enroute to completing a 25 year career.”
- Coach Bobby, Jiu Jitsu Fighter, Boxer & Patrol Officer
“I am now four months post-op from ischiofemoral impingement hip surgery. Iron PT has played a key role in my recovery, and I cannot thank them enough for all of their help getting me to this point. My DPT worked with me to go from crutches and a cane, to balance exercises wearing a 20 lb. vest, to squats, planks, slide board, and burpees (haven't done those since high school!) I feel so much stronger now that I have in a very long time and more motivated to get back in shape.”
- Dana, Softball & Tennis Player
