If your hip hurts, it’s a clear sign that…

8. Overuse and Repetitive Stress

Athletes and active individuals aren’t immune to hip pain.

Repetitive motions like:

• Running
• Cycling
• Climbing stairs

Can strain hip structures if:

• Recovery is inadequate
• Technique is poor
• Muscles are imbalanced

Pain from overuse typically builds gradually.

9. Foot and Shoe Issues

Your feet affect your hips.

Problems such as:

• Poor arch support
• Uneven shoe wear
• Improper footwear

Can alter gait mechanics, sending stress upward to the hips.

Hip pain sometimes starts at ground level.
