HIP PAIN PHYSIOTHERAPY

Hip pain can affect walking, sleeping, and everyday movement, and has a wide range of causes — from muscle and tendon irritation to joint wear or post-surgical recovery. A proper assessment is key to understanding what's actually going on.

Common Causes We See

• Hip osteoarthritis
• Gluteal tendon pain (often mistaken for "hip bursitis")
• Muscle strain or tightness
• Post-operative rehabilitation, including after hip replacement

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Following assessment of your hip movement, strength, and gait, treatment centres on a targeted exercise programme — usually the most effective long-term approach for hip pain — combined with manual therapy for pain and stiffness. If you're recovering from hip surgery, we'll work in line with your surgical team's rehabilitation protocol.
