Physiotherapy for hip pain
Hip Pain Relief
Hip pain can show up with walking, stairs, sitting, sleeping, running, or getting in and out of a car. We look at how the hip handles movement and load across your day.
Book an AssessmentStart with clarity
Make walking, stairs, and exercise feel more dependable.
Hip care should be about function, not just one painful spot.
Hip symptoms may be felt in the groin, outer hip, buttock, or upper thigh and can behave differently depending on the activity. The source of symptoms is not always obvious from location alone.
Physiotherapy assessment may include hip and lower-back movement, strength, walking, balance, and activity-specific loading. Treatment is then progressed toward the demands of your daily life, work, or sport.
Understanding your symptoms
What may be influencing hip pain?
Hip symptoms may reflect joint, tendon, muscle, or referred pain patterns. Assessment helps sort out which factors are most relevant.
Walking and stair load
Changes in walking volume, hills, stairs, or standing time can increase hip demand.
Hip muscle capacity
The gluteal and surrounding muscles help control the pelvis and absorb load during single-leg tasks.
Joint mobility and stiffness
Restricted hip motion can affect squatting, sitting, dressing, and stride.
Lumbar or pelvic contribution
Some symptoms felt near the hip may also be influenced by the lower back or surrounding regions.
Your next steps
A clear process from assessment to progress.
The exact treatment may change, but the process should stay understandable. We assess, explain, progress, and keep the plan connected to your goals.
