Hip Pain

Hip pain can affect your mobility, comfort, and quality of life. It may come on gradually or suddenly, and can be caused by a range of issues from muscle strain to joint problems. Physiotherapy can help identify the cause and guide you toward pain relief and improved movement.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

• Muscle or tendon strains
• Hip bursitis (inflammation of the bursa)
• Osteoarthritis or joint degeneration
• Hip labral tears
• Referred pain from the lower back or pelvis
• Overuse injuries or sports-related strains

Our experienced physiotherapists will:

• Perform a detailed assessment of your hip, pelvis, and surrounding muscles
• Identify the underlying cause of your pain
• Use hands-on treatments to reduce pain and improve joint mobility
• Create a tailored exercise program to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility
• Offer advice on posture, activity modification, and pain management
• Support your gradual return to daily activities, sports, or work
