Our hips are constantly being loaded and hip pain can affect people of all activity levels, whether we sit, stand, or play sport. Hips become quite complex to treat due to their integrated relationship with the pelvis, SIJ and spine.

  • Footwear modifications or referral
  • Soft tissue release (massage, stretching, fascial release, deep trigger release)
  • Strengthening and stretching exercise programs (for the hip and core)
  • Education & Reassurance
  • Posture / technique correction
  • Clear treatment plans

What Is The Best Hip Pain Treatment

The best treatment starts with a clear diagnosis. It is important to have your hip assessed by a physio to determine the source of pain and the contributing factors to your condition.

A thorough assessment of your hip, spine, leg and biomechanics will help determine the cause for your pain. A rehabilitation program and treatment that addresses your whole body will ensure you have a complete and successful return to normal activity.

Why Do I Get Hip Pain?

Hip pain commonly results from either overuse or an acute injury. As the hip is so central to movement and activity it can easily become overloaded over time. The joint itself may become overloaded, as may the muscles, tendons and ligaments that help support the joint. The hip joint is surrounded by an extra rim of cartilage called the labrum to help create stability and is another source of overload.

Hip pain can be caused by an acute injury to the hip. This can be direct trauma to the hip, a stretching injury, an impact injury or twisting injury.

Common Source Of Pain In The Hip

  • Hip joint (cartilage, labrum)
  • Tendons
  • Muscles

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Chronic Overuse

Repetitive pulling, pressure or movement place stress on the tissues. The tissues can cope with some of this stress, but anything beyond this the tissues struggle to tolerate the load. This leads to pain and injury.

There are many reasons why you might overload the tissues of the hip and cause pain some of which could be:

– impingement due to your bony structure and genetics

– impingement due to muscle tightness

– positions you might get into for work or sport

– childhood hip pathology

Acute tissue injury

This can be direct trauma to the hip, a stretching injury, an impact injury or twisting injury.
