Hip injuries
Pinchy hips, deep aches and the ones that bark on stairs or squats — one therapist, hands on, start to finish.
Hip trouble hides in everything you do. No two arrive the same way.
Pinching in the front
A sharp pinch deep in the front of the hip when you squat, sit low, or bring your knee to your chest.
The deep ache
An ache in the groin or the side of the hip that builds with walking and follows you to bed.
Stiffness
A hip that’s stiff after sitting or first thing in the morning, and short on rotation when you check it.
Pain on one side
Lying on that side wakes it up — the outside of the hip complains under pressure.
Surgery ahead — or behind you
A labrum repair or hip replacement on the calendar, or rehab that stalled after one.
A scary MRI report
Words like labral tear, impingement or arthritis, and nobody has told you what they actually mean for you.
If one of these is yours, you're in the right place. If your case is different, tell us — we'll say honestly whether we're the right fit.
Find what's driving it. Treat it. Load it so it holds.
An assessment, not a template
We find what sets your hip off — squatting, sitting, walking, stairs — and test how your hip, pelvis and low back actually move under load. Imaging is context; the exam is the driver.
Treatment that works
Manual therapy to calm the hip and restore how it moves — paired with progressive squatting, hinging and single-leg work so the change holds under real load.
Education and support
You leave knowing what's driving your hip trouble, what the words on your MRI actually mean, and what to do next — a home program that comes to you, not a photocopied sheet.
We measure where measuring helps. Force plates, dynamometry and gait analysis mean the decision to progress you — or hold you back — comes from a number rather than an impression.

“After many frustrating years of injuries and working with multiple physical therapists, I finally found Kauno — and now I'm able to walk, run and live my life without constant pain.”
He didn't just treat my injury, he helped me rebuild my confidence and my strength when I honestly thought I'd never get back to normal.

Whether your HSA, FSA or HRA dollars apply — confirmed before you book.
From the blog
Do I need an MRI or a referral first?
No to both. California is a direct-access state, and the exam — not imaging — drives treatment. If you already have imaging, bring the report and we’ll tell you what the words actually mean for you.
How many visits does a hip injury take?
Most plans of care run 6 to 12 visits — weekly at first, spaced out as you improve. You’ll have an estimate at the end of your first visit.
I’m having hip surgery. When should I start?
Your surgeon’s protocol sets the timing — send it to us, or give us the surgeon’s name, and we’ll work from it. If surgery hasn’t happened yet, ask whether coming in beforehand is worth it in your case.
