What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain can generate from the hip itself or any of the numerous structures that surround it. Hip pain can also be referred from the low back. Hip joint pain usually occurs in the front or side of the hip, while low back pain is felt in the buttocks.

for hip pain if you

- Perform repetitive running, squatting or kneeling motions in athletic pursuits or work tasks
- Have weak and/or tight hip musculature
