Back, Hip & Core Pain
Back, hip, and core pain can be frustrating — especially when it keeps returning despite stretching, strengthening, or previous treatment. Pain in these areas often has deeper connections within the body that aren’t always addressed.
​
At Breakthrough Physical Therapy, we take a whole-body approach to back, hip, and core pain, looking beyond the painful area to understand why symptoms are happening and how to create lasting change.
Common Symptoms We See
Back, hip, and core pain may include:
​
-
low back pain or stiffness
-
hip pain or tightness with walking, sitting, or exercise
-
pain that shifts or alternates sides
-
core weakness or instability
-
discomfort with lifting, bending, or prolonged sitting
-
pain that worsens with stress, fatigue, or certain movements
​​
You don’t need to have a clear injury or diagnosis to benefit from care.
Why These Symptoms Happen
Back and hip pain rarely exist in isolation. These areas are closely connected to the pelvic floor, breathing mechanics, and how the body manages pressure and movement.
​
Contributing factors may include:
​
-
poor coordination between the core and pelvic floor
-
breathing and pressure management patterns
-
posture and alignment
-
movement habits and compensations
-
past injuries, surgeries, or periods of pain
-
nervous system tension or protective patterns
​​
When these systems aren’t working together, pain often persists or returns.
How We Help
Care at Breakthrough Physical Therapy focuses on restoring balance, coordination, and confidence in movement.
​
Treatment may include:
​
-
a comprehensive whole-body assessment
-
movement and alignment support
-
breathing strategies to improve core coordination
-
pelvic floor integration when appropriate
-
education to help you move with clarity and control
Care is individualized and designed to support long-term improvement, not just short-term relief.

strengthening or stretching alone hasn’t helped

pain affects daily activities or exercise
