How We Resolve

Knee and Hip Pain

Knee and hip pain can make even simple tasks—like walking or getting up from a chair—feel like a struggle. Whether it’s a sharp, stabbing pain or a persistent ache, hip discomfort can limit your mobility and impact your quality of life. At Summit, we understand how frustrating knee and hip pain can be, which is why we take a personalized approach to uncover the root cause and help you move freely again. Don’t let your pain hold you back from doing the things you love.

Comprehensive Evaluation

Knee and hip pain can stem from a variety of causes—weak and tight muscles can refer pain into the hip and down your leg from the lower back, nerve pain can radiate down the hip and leg, and aching joints can leave you feeling stiff and sore. With so many possible causes, Summit begins each comprehensive evaluation with the most important part—your story. Understanding your unique experience provides valuable insights into the root of your pain. From there, we perform extensive movement assessments, hands-on examination techniques, and specialized tests to pinpoint the exact cause of your discomfort.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves a range of hands-on techniques we use to reduce your pain. These include soft tissue massage, hip joint mobilizations, dry needling, spinal manipulation, and occasionally cupping. Different techniques work best for different individuals and conditions, but they all share the same goals: to reduce pain, improve movement, and relieve tension, helping you get back to feeling like yourself again.

Range of Motion & Mobility

Restoring hip range of motion and mobility is crucial for both daily activities and athletic performance. Muscle tension, nerve pain from the lumbar spine, and joint stiffness can all contribute to limited mobility. Regaining proper movement is a key step in achieving pain-free motion, which is essential before advancing to more demanding activities. At Summit, we use a combination of gentle movement, hands-on techniques, and dry needling to restore mobility, reduce pain, and help you feel better quickly.

Restoring Strength and Stability

Restoring strength and stability throughout your hip and knee is crucial for maintaining healthy movement. At Summit, we focus on targeted exercises that strengthen the muscles around hip and knee, improve stability, and support your return to pain-free functional movement. Our goal is to help you move with confidence and stay pain-free for the long term.

Performance & Preventing Recurrence

Once you’re able to move pain-free and you’re back to your prior self, it’s time to build you back better. Your physical therapist will work with you to create a comprehensive program that addresses your specific weaknesses to prevent future recurrence.

Your body, your goals and your journey are all unique.
