Hip Pain
Physical Therapy in Boulder, CO
Hip pain shows up differently for everyone — a deep pinch in the front of the hip, an ache on the outside that flares at night, a catch on trail runs, or pain that radiates down into the groin or hamstring. It's rarely as simple as it first seems, which is why getting the diagnosis right matters as much as the treatment itself.
At Revo, a Doctor of Physical Therapy spends a full 60 minutes assessing your hip, your movement patterns, and how your back, knees, and core may be contributing to the problem. We've had more than one patient come to us after being told their hip pain was arthritis or a structural problem — only to find the real driver was a fixable movement or strength imbalance.
This is one of our specialized physical therapy services. See our full Physical Therapy approach in Boulder.

Our approach
Assess
A full movement and strength evaluation to understand your history, your goals, and how your hip pain is actually behaving.
Analyze
When needed, we use motion capture and force plate testing to quantify what's happening during running, jumping, or return-to-sport movements.
Treat
Hands-on manual therapy paired with a progressive, sport-specific strengthening program.

Return
A clear return-to-sport or return-to-activity plan, not just "how do you feel today.
"I hurt my hip skiing and after X-rays was told... that I had arthritic hips and hip cam impingement... Over a year later... I saw Brian, who told me that I might have hip pain but it wasn't from arthritis. He developed a series of exercises and stretches, mixed with judicious dry needling, that has pretty much resolved my hip issues."
— Tom Halicki"After being told by an ortho that I needed steroid injections and potentially a scope procedure of my hip to repair a possible labrum tear... Dr. Dane Delozier... correctly diagnosed a functional problem... after only 6 sessions I am 70% improved and still improving."
