What It Is and Why It Happens
Where your hip hurts tells us a lot. Pain on the outside, worse lying on that side or climbing stairs, is usually gluteal tendinopathy or bursitis. A pinching pain in the front of the groin with sitting or deep squats suggests a labral tear or femoroacetabular impingement. A deep, stiff ache that limits how far you can walk and worsens through the day is typical of hip osteoarthritis. Pain in the buttock that runs down the leg may be sciatica or piriformis syndrome rather than the hip at all.
Our physiotherapists assess the joint, the tendons and the low back and pelvis together, so you are treated for the right thing.
Hip Problems We Treat
Our physiotherapists at Cityscape Square NE assess and treat:
- Gluteal tendinopathy and hip bursitis (outer hip pain)
- Labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (groin pinch)
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Hip flexor and groin strains
- Piriformis syndrome and buttock pain
- SI joint dysfunction
- Post-surgical rehab after hip replacement or arthroscopy
- Hip pain in pregnancy and postpartum
How We Treat Hip Pain
Assessment includes hip range of motion, impingement and labral tests, glute strength and single-leg control, gait and low back screening. Treatment is built on progressive strengthening of the glutes and hip stabilizers — the intervention recommended by clinical guidelines for most hip pain — plus manual therapy, dry needling for tight hip flexors and glutes, deep tissue massage, and activity and sleeping-position advice for tendon problems. Chiropractic is added when the SI joint or low back is contributing.
Pregnancy-related hip and pelvic pain is treated with our pelvic floor physiotherapist and prenatal massage. Post-surgical patients: see pre and post-surgical rehab.
