There is currently limited literature on a categorized physical therapy protocol for management of hip pain. Only a handful of studies have looked at the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip with a standardized physical therapy treatment, primarily looking at manual therapy versus exercise therapy protocols. However, there are no studies observing the effect of a standardized physical therapy program on patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain. Based on the gap in the literature, this study will aim to assess the effect of matrix-based standard of care therapy in patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain.

Inclusion Criteria:

• New patient presenting with non-arthritic hip impingement, hip pain, and groin pain (Tonnis 0-1)
• 18-60 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

• Arthritic hip pain (Tonnis 2+)
• <18 and >60 years old
• History of spinal fusion surgery
• History of low back pain with radicular pain
• History of hip arthroscopy
• History of inflammatory conditions, and other concurrent problems interfering with hip therapy (i.e., concurrent back/knee/foot/ankle/shoulder issues)
• Patients currently taking TNF-alpha inhibitors for inflammatory conditions
• History of prior knee osteotomy
• Non-English speakers
