Hip Pain: What’s Really Holding You Back

Written By Jason Ortolano

Hip pain can sneak up slowly or hit suddenly, affecting your swing, stride, and overall mobility. Because the hips are central to power, rotation, and balance, even minor issues can ripple through your game and daily life.

Common Causes

  • Tight or weak hip muscles

  • Poor movement mechanics or swing faults

  • Overuse from repetitive activity

  • Age-related joint changes

Signs to Watch For

  • Pain or stiffness in the front, side, or back of the hip

  • Reduced range of motion or trouble rotating

  • Discomfort during walking, squatting, or swinging

Prevention & Care

  • Stretch and strengthen: Focus on glutes, hip flexors, and core

  • Improve movement patterns: Proper mechanics reduce stress on the joint

  • Address pain early: Don’t let minor aches turn into chronic problems

Take Control of Your Hips

Targeted exercises, mobility work, and sport-specific training can relieve pain, restore function, and improve performance—whether on the course or in everyday life.
