Reduced flexibility: And pain indicate the need to see your doctor. He/she may refer your sister to an orthopedic doctor. The doc MAY refer you to a physical therapist or give you another form of treatment. Peace and good health.

Be seen: It would ultimately come down to the specific diagnosis of what is causing her problem, which could be from one of multiple potential issues with her hip verses an issue with her back (or both). A thorough evaluation with an orthopedic surgeon would go a long way to determine the specific diagnosis and treatment options.
