What is Hip Pain?

The hip is a major weight-bearing joint. Pain can arise from training load, tendon irritation, joint problems, acute injury, or osteoarthritis. It may also be referred from the lower back or pelvis, making accurate diagnosis crucial.

Common symptoms include pain in the groin, outer hip, buttock, or upper thigh. Discomfort may occur when walking, running, squatting, or climbing stairs, as well as with prolonged sitting, side lying, reduced movement, or decreased one-leg strength.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Hip Pain

Thorough Assessment

We conduct detailed assessments of hip and spine movement, strength, balance, and functional tasks. We consider recent changes in training, work, and recovery to determine the best course of action, whether clinic care or referral to a GP or other specialist.

Personalised Care Plan

Our care focuses on education, temporary activity adjustments, and manual therapy when suitable. We provide progressive strength, mobility, and control exercises, guiding you through a graded return to activity, often with shared care or referral.

What to Expect and Common Questions

During your initial consultation, we'll take a thorough history, discuss your goals, and perform a comprehensive movement and physical assessment. You'll receive a clear explanation and a tailored plan. Straightforward cases may include immediate treatment, while complex cases prioritise assessment and appropriate referral.

Important Medical Advice

Prompt medical attention is advised after major injury, inability to bear weight, severe pain, deformity, a hot/swollen joint with fever, or unexplained night pain or illness.

FAQs

Does hip pain always mean it's the hip joint?

No, hip pain can also stem from tendons, muscles, bursae, the lower back, and other sources.

Should I stop running or squatting if I have hip pain?
