Hip pain may result from acute injury, repetitive strain, muscular imbalance, or degenerative changes within the joint and surrounding structures. It can present as localized pain in the hip or groin, stiffness, reduced mobility, or pain that radiates into the thigh, buttock, or lower back. Physiotherapy aims to address the underlying cause, restore strength and mobility, and improve functional movement.
Common hip conditions treated include:
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Labral tears
- Hip impingement
- Bursitis
- Gluteal tendinopathy
- Hip flexor or adductor strains
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
