As Seen On & Recognized By

Does This Sound Like You?

Hip Pain Shouldn’t Run Your Life

Stiff After Sitting

Getting up from a chair, out of the car, or out of bed takes a minute before your hip loosens up.

Can’t Sleep on That Side

Lying on your hip wakes you up at night, and you can’t find a comfortable position to get back to sleep.

Walks Keep Getting Shorter

A walk, a round of golf, or a day on your feet leaves your hip aching, so you’ve started cutting things short.

Tried Everything

Rest, massage, cortisone shots, and YouTube stretches. The pain keeps coming back.

Rest Doesn’t Fix It

You’ve rested it for weeks, but the aching, stiffness, or sharp pain comes right back the moment you move.

Surgery Sounds Extreme

Told a hip replacement might be in your future, but you’re not ready to go there, and you’re not sure it’s even right for you yet.

What You’ve Probably Been Told

✗“Just rest it and it’ll settle down.” Months later, you’re still favoring that hip.

✗“It’s wear and tear — you’ll probably need a new hip eventually.” Handed to you like it’s the only road.

✗“It’s arthritis” or “it’s your age.” That’s a dismissal, not an explanation.

✗“Here’s a cortisone shot and some pills.” It masks the pain — it doesn’t fix the cause.

The Truth

✓Many hip problems improve without surgery when the true cause is addressed.

✓“Arthritis” on an X-ray is extremely common — and often isn’t the whole story behind your pain.

✓Hip pain is often driven by weak, overloaded muscles and tendons, not just the joint. Strengthen them and the pain eases.

✓The right movement and loading rebuild a strong, resilient hip so the flare-ups stop coming back.

★★★★★

“I have been going to Movement Solutions for about 6 months after years of physical therapy and chiropractic sessions with others. Movement Solutions’ focused approach to my specific lower back, hip, and sciatic pain has been more helpful than the years with the other practices. They listen to me and design specific exercises to help with strengthening my core muscles. I have seen noticeable improvement over time. Great group of people to work with.”

Common Problems

Hip Problems We Treat in Greenville, SC

Hip Arthritis

Stiffness and aching in the joint that’s worse in the morning or after sitting. Arthritis doesn’t have to mean just living with it.

Hip Bursitis

Pain on the outside of the hip that hurts to lie on, climb stairs, or get up from a chair.

Gluteal Tendon Pain

Aching on the side of the hip and buttock that flares with walking, stairs, or standing on one leg.

Hip Impingement & Labral Pain

A deep, pinching pain in the front of the hip or groin when you squat, sit low, or rotate.

Hip Flexor & Groin Strains

Pulls and tightness at the front of the hip that keep coming back with running, pickleball, or golf.

Hip & Low Back Pain Together

Pain that moves between your low back, hip, and buttock, where one problem is often driving the other.

Stiff, Weak Hips

Losing motion and strength, so stairs, getting up off the floor, and long walks feel harder every year.

Before & After Hip Replacement

Building strength before surgery, or getting fully back to the activities you love after it.

Why You’re Still in Pain

Why Hip Pain Keeps Coming Back

Most people with stubborn hip pain have already tried something. The problem usually isn’t effort. It’s that nothing has actually addressed what keeps overloading the hip in the first place.

You May Have Already Tried…

✗A corporate PT clinic where you did generic stretches alone on a table, were seen for 10 minutes, and were sent on your way.
✗Doctors who spent 5 minutes with you just to offer more meds, another cortisone shot, or a surgery referral.
✗Massage, foam rolling, or stretching on your own that felt good for a day but didn’t fix the underlying problem.
✗Being told the X-ray shows arthritis, so you should just slow down and live with it.

Movement Solutions Is for You If…

✓You want a long-term solution to your hip pain, not a quick fix that fades in a few days.
✓You want honest answers, a clear plan, and treatment that feels personalized to your body.
✓You want to get back to the activities that matter — walking, hiking, golf, pickleball, or keeping up with your family — without fear of the next flare-up.
✓You understand that real recovery takes real work, and you’re ready to commit to it.

★★★★★

“I came to Movement Solutions for help with years-long pain related to running and other injuries. I had tried multiple rounds of physical therapy and steroid injections with no relief. Basic activities were painful, and I had given up hope of returning to hiking, running, and exercising. The therapists built a tailored program specifically for me. With consistent effort I was pain free and back to my favorite activities. I encourage anyone seeking pain relief and a desire to stay active to go for a consultation.”

“Movement Solutions isn’t your typical PT office. No multiple patients per therapist, no feeling like just a number. They provide individualized attention, aim for real results, and genuinely know their clients. That care shows in every phone call, text, and appointment. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for PT.”

Meet the Founder

Dr. Tim Varghese

DPT OCS Physical Therapist & Founder

Dr. Tim Varghese founded Movement Solutions in 2017 after becoming frustrated with a healthcare system that focused on quantity over quality, generic care, and temporary fixes instead of real solutions.

He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the Medical College of Georgia and holds advanced certifications in orthopedics, strength and conditioning, and movement-based rehabilitation. His approach focuses on finding the true source of the problem — not simply numbing the symptom — so active adults 40-60+ can get lasting relief from hip pain and get back to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Tim enjoys life with his wife, Mary Laurel, and their three children. They attend Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Greenville, SC and strive to live in light of the gospel.

What Greenville Patients Are Saying

★★★★★ 200+ 5-star Google reviews

★★★★★

“I went from barely being able to walk without medication to totally pain free. Just last week I set personal bests in deadlifting and exercises I haven’t been able to do in over 10 years. This is NOT ‘big box’ physical therapy. It’s one-on-one care with a credentialed PT who develops an individualized plan around your goals. Worth every penny.”

★★★★★

“I have been very happy with my experience and progress at Movement Solutions! The therapists listen to you and adjust the exercises based on your needs each week to help you get stronger. They are knowledgeable and kind. Movement Solutions has helped reduce my pain and increase my strength. They have helped me be consistent with my exercises at home with their accountability system. They have talked to me about nutrition which has helped as well! They see me as a whole person, not just as a patient that needs fixing.”

Patty M.Greenville, SC · ✓ Verified Google Review

★★★★★

“Beginning with the initial consultation, a revealing evaluation was done and a plan was presented with clear, understandable metrics for progress. This is NOT a factory assembly line with shared therapists and repetitive exercises. I have a dedicated doctor of PT focused on me 100% — think personal trainer, but with expertise in healing and recovery. If you’ve been through unsuccessful traditional PT and been offered ‘live with it’ or expensive surgery, this is a valuable alternative: a real plan, with real results. I’m making tremendous progress.”

“My pain was stopping me from doing everything: steps, walking, sitting on the floor with my kids. After trying so many different treatments, I had almost lost hope. After a couple months with the team at Movement Solutions, I can now run and squat again. Last week, I ran my first 20-mile week in years.”

Common Questions

Before You Call, Read This

Can PT really fix hip pain without injections or surgery?+

In many cases, yes. Bursitis, tendon pain, impingement, and even arthritis often improve without injections or surgery when the true cause is addressed. We find what’s overloading your hip, restore how it moves, and rebuild the strength around it so the pain doesn’t keep returning. If we ever believe you need imaging, a specialist, or a surgical opinion, we’ll tell you and point you in the right direction.

Do I need an MRI or X-ray before I start?+

Usually not. A thorough hands-on evaluation tells us far more about what’s driving your pain than most images do. In fact, “arthritis” and “labral tears” show up on the scans of plenty of people with no hip pain at all. If your situation calls for imaging or a physician referral, we’ll let you know.

Is it safe to exercise with hip pain or arthritis?+

With the right guidance, movement is one of the best things for a painful hip. The key is doing the right movement in the right dose. That’s exactly what one-on-one care with a doctoral-level PT gives you: a plan matched to your body and your symptoms, adjusted as you improve, so you build stronger, more resilient hips without flaring things up.

How is this different from PT I’ve done before?+

Most PT clinics hand everyone the same generic stretches while a therapist bounces between several patients. At Movement Solutions, every session is one-on-one with a doctoral-level PT who specializes in active adults 40-60+. Your care is built around your hips, your history, and what you want to get back to.

Where are you located?+

We’re located at 115 Pelham Road, Suite 12, Greenville, SC 29615, in the Pelham Court Shopping Center (same center as Bohemian Bull and Capri’s Italian Restaurant, just down the road from Publix).

Many of our patients travel from Simpsonville, Greer, Taylors, Easley, Mauldin, Travelers Rest, Spartanburg, and Western North Carolina.
