For years I’ve had a constant and stubborn tightness on my hips and lower back. After many trips to the physiotherapist and countless exercises I was introduced to Theramax. During first session not only did I feel an immediate release on my hip flexors but at the end the pain in my lower back and sciatica appeared to have decreased tremendously. The specialist also gave me a list of at home exercises that I’ve been diligently incorporating in my workouts. Looking forward to my next session! Thank you to the team at Theramax, you are onto something!

How Hip Pain Disrupts Life in Miami
Outdoor plans slip away: That morning walk through Peacock Park or dinner at Kendall restaurants becomes impossible when your hip locks up mid-stride, radiating pain down your leg that feels like a horse had kicked it.
Sleep becomes impossible: You lie awake shifting positions every hour, unable to sleep on your affected side as relentless hip pain disrupts rest, leaving you too exhausted for Shenandoah Park or North Shore Tennis.
Work becomes unbearable: Your commute over Florida Turnpike and full workday become torture when your hip locks up after 30 minutes of sitting, forcing constant position shifts.
South Florida residents don't have to live this way.
What if your hip pain starts in your core?
The psoas is a deep core muscle that connects your spine to your legs, running through the front of your pelvis. When it tightens, it can pull on your hip joint from the inside. It sits so deep that most other treatments really never reach it.
Hip Pain Relief at TheraMax
Hip pain often starts from muscles you can't see or feel directly. Years of sitting tighten the psoas until it pulls the glutes and hip flexors into a compensation pattern. That's why sitting becomes unbearable and the hip feels restricted, irritated, and dysfunctional. Clients often say they feel 'locked up' or 'stuck'. Our robotic therapy is designed to reach these deep muscles with sustained pressure that manual therapy can't maintain. Many clients report their hip started moving freely once these deeper tension patterns were addressed together.
Clients often report they can:
Walk comfortably without hip pain stopping them mid-stride
Sleep through the night on their preferred side without constant shifting
Return to work, exercise, and daily activities without debilitating hip pain

What Makes Our Approach Different
Swipe to compare treatment options
Physical Therapy
Approach: Stretching exercises and strengthening protocols for hip muscles
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Can help mild cases but may aggravate chronic issues
PT stretches can actually aggravate chronic hip pain. Stretching muscles that are already irritated often makes things worse. And standard PT struggles to reach deep muscles like the psoas that may be contributing to the problem.
Chiropractor
Approach: Hip and spine adjustments to improve alignment
Timeframe: Multiple visits over weeks/months
Effectiveness: May provide temporary relief when alignment is off
Adjustments may help for a day or two, but the pain often comes back. Adjustments don't release the tight muscles pulling the hip out of alignment. The underlying tension pattern remains.
Injections & Surgery
Approach: Cortisone injections or hip arthroscopy surgery
Timeframe: Recovery time varies by procedure
Effectiveness: Injections mask pain temporarily; surgery has variable outcomes
Cortisone typically helps for a few months, then wears off. Surgery is irreversible and doesn't address the muscle tension that may have contributed to the problem. That's why some people still have pain after surgery.
Understanding Hip Pain
It's rarely just the hip joint
Hip pain often involves a network of muscles that connect your spine, pelvis, and legs. The psoas runs from your lower spine through your pelvis to your thigh. The glutes stabilize from behind. The hip flexors pull from the front. When any of these get tight, they can change how the hip joint moves and distributes load. That's why treatments focused only on the joint itself, like injections or stretching, often provide temporary relief at best. The tension pattern remains.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your questions about robotic therapy
I haven't slept on my side in months. Will I ever be able to again?
Sleep disruption is one of the most exhausting parts of hip pain. When you can't get comfortable, everything else suffers: your energy for work, your patience with family, your ability to enjoy weekends at Shenandoah Park. Many clients describe the same pattern: shifting positions all night, waking up more tired than when they went to bed. As the hip muscles start to release, sleep position is often one of the first things that improves.
My doctor is talking about hip replacement. Why should I try this first?
Hip replacement is irreversible and doesn't address the muscle tension that may have contributed to the problem. That's why some people still have pain after surgery. Many South Florida residents come to us before making that decision. Our approach targets deep muscles like the psoas that standard treatments struggle to reach. If muscular tension is part of your problem, addressing it first makes sense. Many clients tell us this helped them delay or avoid surgery altogether.
I used to be so active. Why did this happen and when can I get my life back?
Hip pain usually builds gradually. Years of sitting, compensating, and repetitive stress slowly tighten the deep muscles around your hip until one day everything locks up. The good news: change can happen faster than people expect. Many clients start noticing improvements within the first few sessions. Morning walks through Peacock Park, dinner at Kendall without dreading the walk back, weekends at Shenandoah Park instead of on the couch. Many clients describe getting those things back.
I live in Coconut Grove and I can't even walk around Peacock Park anymore. How did it get this bad?
For many clients, the decline is gradual. The muscles that support your hip slowly tighten from years of sitting and compensating until one day you realize you can't do things you used to take for granted. By the time walking becomes difficult, there's usually accumulated tension throughout the whole chain. The good news: many clients who couldn't walk a block tell us they're back to enjoying Peacock Park after the deep tension patterns were addressed.
My hip has been getting worse for years. Did I wait too long?
Many South Florida clients ask this exact question. They've had hip pain for 3, 5, even 10 years and watched it gradually take over their life: giving up golf at Normandy Shores Golf, skipping beach days, avoiding stairs. The truth is, chronic cases often respond well because we're addressing tension that's been building for a long time. The body doesn't forget how to move. Many clients who thought they'd waited too long tell us they wish they'd found this sooner.
