There are a variety of reasons that people develop hip pain, including an injury or previous injury, prolonged sitting, improper exercise, repetitive movements, various athletic activities, excessive use, or a complete lack of any physical activity. One or more muscles in the hip region may become weak or tight, causing a muscle imbalance. Muscle imbalances stress not only the hip joint, but other muscle groups as well, and may cause micro-trauma in the ligaments and muscles. The response to this micro-trauma by the body is to create tiny quantities of scar tissue for repair of the injured area. Scar tissues grow into adhesions, and adhesions many times lead to pain, stiffness, tightness, diminished blood flow, and restricted joint motion.
