Expert Hip Pain Physical Therapy in Norfolk, VA
Get back to running, lifting, and living without hip pain holding you back. One-on-one care with doctors of physical therapy who treat the root cause—not just your symptoms.
Hip Pain Shouldn't Sideline Your Active Lifestyle
You're tired of temporary fixes that don't address what's really causing your discomfort.
Pain That Keeps Coming Back
You've tried rest, ice, and over-the-counter solutions, but your hip pain returns the moment you get back to the activities you love.
Generic Treatments That Only Mask Symptoms
Quick fixes and cookie-cutter exercises give temporary relief but never address why your hip hurts in the first place.
Fear You'll Never Get Back to Your Full Potential
You're worried that hip pain means giving up running, CrossFit, golf, or simply playing with your kids without limitations.

"Running was something I loved and helped me cope with stress, but unfortunately, chronic knee pain hit. After a doctor gave me a grim diagnosis of arthritis and told me I should stop running completely, I was devastated. I called Movement is Medicine and talked with Dr. Amanda about the diagnosis. She gave me hope and scheduled me with Dr. Marc. Dr. Marc Adams spotted what previous therapists missed and quickly tailored a plan for me. Now, not only am I running again, I am leaving my old pace in the dust. I have never felt this strong, and I am absolutely loving moving my body again. When I move, it feels like a celebration of what my body can do instead of a painful chore. So, if your pain has sentenced you to the sidelines, ditch the limitations and sprint towards Dr. Adams and Movement is Medicine. He will help you unlock potential and help you feel your best!"

"I cannot recommend Dr. Marc and Dr. Sam at Movement is Medicine PT highly enough. After undergoing major hip surgery, I was facing a long and challenging recovery. Marc developed a highly personalized and expertly guided plan that was instrumental in my success."
Gregg W.
"After twelve sessions of physical therapy provided by my insurance company, I had plateaued in my recovery and had not fully recovered. My first assessment session with Movement is Medicine was thorough and comprehensive. With each recurring visit thereafter, my condition improved and I was no longer in pain."
Andrea N.
"I am in my early 80s & between muscle loss & arthritis was beginning to experience difficulty in performing simple tasks that required raising my arms. The team at Movement is Medicine put me thru an 8 week physical therapy program. The results have been fantastic."

Hip Pain Physical Therapy FAQs
Common questions from Norfolk patients
-
Every session is a full 60 minutes with the same doctor of physical therapy. Unlike traditional clinics that rush you through 15-20 minute appointments, we give you the time and attention needed to address your hip pain properly. Your therapist will spend the entire hour focused on your assessment, hands-on treatment, and exercise guidance.
-
We operate on a transparent, self-pay model that puts you in control of your care. While we don't bill insurance directly, we provide you with all necessary documentation (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. This approach allows us to spend a full hour with you instead of the limited time insurance companies typically allow. Contact us to discuss pricing and your specific situation.
-
Every person's hip pain is different, so your treatment plan will be customized to your specific condition and goals. During your comprehensive evaluation, we'll assess your movement patterns, identify the root cause, and give you a realistic timeline. Some patients see significant improvement in 4-6 sessions, while others with chronic or complex hip conditions may benefit from 8-12 sessions. We'll adjust your plan as you progress and keep you informed every step of the way.
-
Three key differences set us apart: (1) You receive one-on-one care with a doctor of physical therapy for the full 60 minutes—no assistants, no shared appointments. (2) We treat the root cause of your hip pain, not just symptoms, using comprehensive movement assessments. (3) You get app-based exercise programs you can access anytime, plus the same therapist tracking your progress throughout your entire recovery. We specialize in active adults and athletes who need performance-focused care.
-
Wear comfortable, athletic clothing that allows your therapist to see and assess your hip movement. Shorts or athletic pants that can be rolled up are ideal so we can observe your hip, knee, and ankle alignment. Athletic shoes are recommended since we'll likely assess your walking and movement patterns. If you're coming from work, you're welcome to change at our clinic.
-
Absolutely! Most of our hip pain patients have never had surgery. We successfully treat hip bursitis, tendonitis, muscle strains, arthritis, IT band syndrome, and many other conditions without surgery. Our goal is to help you avoid surgery whenever possible by addressing the underlying movement dysfunctions and muscle imbalances causing your pain. We also work with post-surgical patients, but surgery is often not necessary when you address hip pain early with proper physical therapy.
