Hips Pain

Hip pain can affect how you walk, sit, and stay active. Physiotherapy restores healthy hip function without drugs or surgery. Whether your hip pain shows up during exercise, after sitting, or simply while walking, understanding its root cause helps us build a plan that restores real, lasting stability.

Understanding Hips Pain

Your hips stabilize your pelvis and upper body, absorbing significant force during daily activity and exercise.

We assess hip mobility and strength to relieve pain and restore confident, stable movement.

We assess hip, pelvis, and lower-back movement together, since hip pain is rarely isolated — weakness or stiffness in nearby areas often plays a role in how the hip is loaded.

What Could Be Causing Your Hips Pain?

Understanding the root cause is the first step toward lasting relief.

Overuse from Sports

Repetitive movement during sports and exercise can strain the hip joint. This is especially common in runners and athletes who don't allow adequate recovery time.

Being Out of Shape

Reduced muscle support around the hip increases strain during daily activity. Building strength around the hip helps the joint better tolerate daily and athletic demands.

Joint Wear

Gradual wear on the hip joint can contribute to stiffness and discomfort over time. While some wear is a normal part of aging, targeted movement can meaningfully reduce discomfort.

Prolonged Sitting

Extended sitting shortens the hip flexors, reducing mobility and increasing pain. Simple changes to how often you stand and move can noticeably ease this tightness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Could my hip pain actually be coming from my back?

Yes, this is common — lower-back issues can refer pain into the hip and thigh. Assessment helps distinguish between hip-specific and referred pain.

Is hip pain a sign of arthritis?

Not always. While joint wear can contribute, muscular imbalance and movement patterns are frequently the primary cause, especially in younger patients.

Can I keep exercising with hip pain?

Often yes, with some modification. We'll help you identify which activities to adjust while your hip recovers.
