Physical Therapy in North Aurora, Batavia and Aurora for Hip
Welcome to Physical Therapy Advantage's patient resource about hip problems.
A hip injury is nothing to joke about, it is one of the most serious injuries a person can suffer through and one that can lead to long-term health problems if not addressed correctly or inevitably prevented. Athletes who play active sports like football, soccer, and rugby are more prone to suffering through a hip injury than athletes in other sports, however, hip injuries can also occur by accident, whether through a bad fall or quick and awkward movement. Therefore, you must know how to take care of yourself so you do not fall victim to this debilitating injury.
This area of our site covers everything you need to be aware of as it relates to your hips and keeping them healthy.
Remember, good health and a little prevention now will protect this sensitive area as you age. We want to be there with you to proactively protect and prevent against hip injuries.

“ Joe King and the staff at Physical Therapy Advantage are terrific. After two total hip replacements and spinal decompression surgery, I had been through several Physical Therapy experiences. My most recent surgery brought me to Joe and for the first time, I’m confident that Joe’s diagnosis and plan, will put me on the path to pain free independence. I’m grateful to have found Joe and his Team and give them my highest recommendation. ”

“ Joe and his staff at Physical Therapy Advantage are fantastic. I’ve been a client twice and had a great experience both times.The first time was due to severe low back pain (with spinal arthritis and a herniated disc as the primary causes) about five years ago. It had gotten bad enough that I was barely able to crawl, let alone stand up or walk. I saw my primary care doctor and a neurosurgeon and had an epidural steroid injection for the pain before being prescribed physical therapy to see if it helped. It did! Joe was able to figure out what was out of alignment and why, and I was pain-free in a just a few months.I recently had some pain again in my hip and low back and decided to skip the shots and doctor visits and just head straight to physical therapy. I went back to Physical Therapy Advantage since my experience the first time was so good. The second time was just as good - I’m all fixed up just a few months later and have a home stretching and exercise routine to prevent future problems (which I’m about to do after posting this!).Joe is great at diagnosing and explaining exactly what is wrong and how the exercises and stretches he recommends will work to fix it. He and his staff are also positive and friendly. I hope that I won’t have a need for more physical therapy any time soon, but if I ever do, I’ll be seeing Joe again. ”

“ I have had two great experiences with PTA. First was a hip replacement rehab which was 12 years ago. That experience was excellent so I had no reason to go anywhere else when I needed rehab for a knee replacement I had a few months ago. Joe is a great Physical Therapist, his years of experience and knowledge of the latest techniques gets you back to normal asap. The staff are all professionals and treat you like family. If you are looking for a great place that makes you feel like family with top notch care and results this place is for you! ”

“ I first saw Joe in 2010 for hip-related issues. Over the last 10 years I have returned for therapy on other "parts" and have been met with kindness and a genuine interest in addressing my needs. I would highly recommend Joe and his staff for any sort of physical therapy. ”

“ PT Advantage can be summed up very succinctly: They know what they're doing, they care, and they are good people. When you put all of that together, it creates an environment where healing is made easier not only because of the professionalism and knowledge, but because of effort they put into the relationship.
In my experience, you generally get out of PT what you are willing to put into it. If you are basically just given a list of exercises to do, it can be hard to stay motivated and make progress. With PT Advantage they continually listen, adapt, and challenge you to keep improving (in kind ways :-)) but will also be honest and tell you when they think you are ready to "graduate". Their motto of "Positive People, Positive Results" could not be more spot-on in my opinion, and I could not recommend them more highly. ”

“ You can’t go wrong with the people and treatment at PTA. Joe, Julie, and Shae are the best...I couldn’t recommend one over the other. The staff that assists them are personable and professional and a pleasure to “work” with during the exercise phase. I have been to PTA numerous times for hip, neck, and shoulder issues and have complete confidence in their ability to treat me. I have found Joe King to be a master at evaluating your condition and recommending treatment. Happy 13th Anniversary and many, many more! ”

“ I felt very well taken care of at Physical Therapy Advantage during my hip injury and would recommend this as a great place to rehab both during and after an injury. I was given good guidance into my muscle weaknesses and imbalances and the exercises I was given helped with a lot of my pain. In addition, the one on one instruction was very effective in my treatment and addressing everything that I needed to be taken care of! ”

“ Joe King and his team are top notch. They are experts at listening and evaluating your area of need. In my case it's knee and hip issues. I walk in with pain in my knee, hip or back and after several appointments, I walk out pain free. For me it's muscle tissue massage along with completing the exercises they recommend. I've always had great results with Physical Therapy Advantage and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. ”

“ It was my good fortune to have a friend recommend me to Physical Therapy Advantage after a back injury in the fall of 2012. Word of mouth has always been my preferred way to find a health care provider. Joe King and his associates at Physical Therapy Advantage were always concerned, supportive, encouraging, and professional. By truly listening to my problems and issues, Joe crafted a treatment plan for me that oincluded in-clinic care as well as home exercises to support that care. The results were so positive, that I did not hesitate to return to this clinic when I found out in 2013 that I needed knee replacement surgery. Again, a therapy plan was created for me prior to surgery in June 2014, and then after surgery to enable me to get my new knee strong, and to increase my flexibility when moving it. Once more, after much dedicated care by Joe and exercise work by me, the results were positive. However, osteoarthritis was not done with me yet! In late 2014, I found that I needed both of my hips replaced as well. This was very discouraging news. However, I had such confidence in my surgeon, as well as in my physical therapist, Joe and the staff at Physical Therapy Advantage, I knew that I could face these surgeries and rehabs. Throughout this entire time, I could always count on Joe and his staff to keep me positive and focused on the end result-- to walk without pain! After left hip surgery in Feb. 2015, and then right hip surgery in June of 2015, their subsequent physical therapy sessions and home care exercises, I finally reached my end goal---to walk without pain! It was a hard, 3 yr. long, physically taxing journey but, with the professional care I received from this facility, with all their support and encouragement, I was successful. I highly recommend Joe King and Physical Therapy in North Aurora. ”
