Expert Hip Pain Fitness Studio in Portsmouth, NH
At Golden Hour Pilates and Rehab, we combine one-on-one physical therapy with private reformer Pilates to help you understand what's driving your hip pain — and build a clear plan to move stronger. Concierge-style care, built around you. No cookie-cutter programs. No rushed sessions. Just real results.

Hip Pain That Won't Go Away Is Holding You Back
The Pain Keeps Returning
You get a little relief, then it comes right back. Without identifying the true source — like weak glutes, poor movement patterns, or joint instability — nothing sticks long-term.
Generic Programs Don't Fit Your Body
Cookie-cutter PT exercises were designed for the average patient, not you. When your individual movement patterns are ignored, progress stalls and frustration builds.
You're Closer to Surgery Than You Think
Unresolved hip pain can accelerate toward injections or surgery faster than most people expect. A targeted, personalized approach now may be the most important step you take.
Why Portsmouth Women Choose Golden Hour for Hip Pain
Golden Hour Pilates and Rehab is Portsmouth's only concierge-style hip pain fitness studio blending physical therapy with private reformer Pilates. Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Melissa Benowitz — a licensed DPT and comprehensively certified Pilates instructor who built this practice to do what traditional PT simply can't.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your first session at Portsmouth's premier hip pain fitness studio.
Golden Hour is a cash-based practice, which means you pay directly for your care — no insurance middleman, no authorizations, no surprise bills. We provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients find this model more flexible, faster, and more cost-effective than fighting insurance delays.
Your first session includes a thorough movement screen and functional movement assessment. Dr. Melissa will evaluate how your body moves, identify contributing factors to your hip pain or injury, and begin building a personalized plan specific to your goals — not a generic protocol.
All sessions are 50 minutes, one-on-one with Dr. Melissa. Frequency depends on your goals and where you are in your recovery — most clients begin with 1–2 sessions per week and progress from there.
Traditional PT clinics often see multiple patients at once, use standardized programs, and cycle you out in 6–8 weeks. At Golden Hour, you always work one-on-one with the same provider, your plan is built specifically for your body, and we integrate Pilates-based rehab to build strength that lasts well beyond discharge.
Yes. Dr. Melissa specializes in prenatal Pilates and postpartum recovery support. Sessions are fully adapted to your stage of pregnancy or recovery, with particular attention to pelvic floor health, core re-engagement, and safe return to movement.
