Hip pain can happen suddenly or slowly over time and is common in all age groups. It can impact heavily on our day to day function and quality of life, interfering with sport, exercise, work and daily activities.
It can be affected by wear and tear, fractures, ligament tears and muscle strains. It is also one of the main joints affected by Osteoarthritis. A hip problem can cause pain in your thigh, groin, back or buttock. Similarly, pain you feel in the hip area may be caused by a problem in your back or the sacro-iliac joint in the pelvis.
The exact cause, type and location of the pain is always unique to each individual, which means there is no single ‘fix’ for all hip pain. Given that the exact cause of your pain can be complicated, it is important that a thorough assessment is undertaken by your physiotherapist to ensure any underlying issues are addressed. Remember…. where you feel the pain, is not always the source of the problem therefore a proper diagnosis is crucial.
If you have hip pain, you may benefit from physiotherapy to help control your symptoms and improve your overall functional mobility. Your physiotherapy treatment will focus on decreasing or eliminating your pain, improving your hip range of motion and strength, and restoring normal functional mobility.
